Lots of "Politics" and no "the Church".

Two bookends as far as Jesus Christ is concerned - During his ministry: "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. - - At the end of his ministry: "My kingdom is not of this world".

Occasionally I hear something like "God is not a Republican or a Democrat". This would be akin to saying "God prefers electric cars over conventional piston engine cars." None of the aforementioned things existed during the life and times of Jesus Christ, or the scripture writing apostles. In fact, nothing like them existed. (The Greeks and Romans introduced Western Civilization to pseudo republics and pseudo democracies, but really and truly they were much less than what we would consider a republic, democracy or a republic democracy.)
