It seems to me that we are abandoning the gospel, which might well transform our society, in favor of a few laws that have no chance of doing anywhere near as well. I do not mean that Christians should have no political involvement. But I would suggest that our primary activity <em>as the church</em> should be to transform lives, one at a time, according to the gospel commission. I agree with you.

It seems the church is too often only concerned with attempting to assert itself on some political position or the other rather than tending to the conditions of the individuals within. When it engages at that level, it fails to make an impact. It's not our political system that needs what Christianity has to offer, it's the people in the system.
