fighting for babylon?
the relationship between is not just a matter of laicism! no way man! there is far more inside to find out and think about. you can not believe that once you have a "free church in a free state" you have solved the problem. maybe from the point of view of the political power you have, but not from the believers' one. what is making me crazy in the these day is how should a christian behave in front of gross injustice and tyranny.
think for a while to live under the bloody rule of some bloody dictator. i take for granted that i should do something. but what? should i use political violence risking my own life and the one of my enemies to free my brothers and sisters? should i provoke a revolution or be a promoting part of it? how long should i peacefully obey to my political ruler? and what if i were a poor peasant exploited by fat corrupt and merciless poiticians? if i accept to live in such a miserable condition, should i do the same for my sons and daughters?
and if i take up the weapons and lead a successful revolution, should i engage myself in building another babylon. or should i care just of the kingdom of god?
however i believe that the kingdom of god is not something which has to come soon or late. i believe it is something we already have doing the will of god. so, everything we have to do is the will of god. the trick is that it is not easy to forecast what is this will as long as we don't know the features of the situation we are linving in. i mean: sometime you should do something and sometime you should do something else, provided you do it for love. mmmhhhhh.
so we are back to the start: who i have to love more? the killer or the killed? the exploiter or the exploited? should i become a judge between them? no! i don't need it at all. at the end the killer is the one responsible for the killing and so the exploiter. he has just to stops. so i have to take side for the oppressed attempting to persuade the oppressor to change.
and if he doesn't?

I'm slowly starting to believe that God's Kingdom can never be in a position of power, that His Kingdom is by definition among those without power. So yes, fight the battle, but let go of power immediatly there-after! For now, the Kingdom is the figt... does that make sense?
Good design!
