Why "It Can't Happen Here" is better than "1984"

[ZTay]

Not bad. But even Christ's weakness is greater than our greatest strength. For through death- shameful, horrible death- he prostrated Kings that were invincible to strong arms. And it is Christ who rejoices in oppression and even tyranny for in the depth of that dark shadow His light shines brightest of all! And let no one deceive you- the Fascist masquerading as a clergy man will meet the same end as the one in a gov't uniform. Yet Christ is the first and the last and Heaven and Earth will pass away before his Word.

Politics have become like religion: Your side has the truth whether there is any evidence or not.

Believe what you like. It probably makes you happy.

Politics is worldliness. What you think of as Religion in the Middle Ages, strife and all that, was Politics.

[Tastidian]

Religion and politics are two different worlds. If your religion affects your politics, you aren't really religious.
