thanks a lot, Augustine.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Politics are not the task of a Christian.
Gandhi: Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.


The underlying contradiction behind these two ideas has been bothering me ever since i first started reading Augustine in college...

I'm not always sure where i stand... i mean i tend to be more Gandhi than Bonhoeffer.... but there are times.... when the world of politics, even good politics, seems to be completely incompatible with the world of faith....

oh my head hurts...
