description: (hide) Because the far left has traditionally embraced humanist, ‘progressive,’ anti-God viewpoints, church members have felt inclined to espouse views to the right of the political continuum. Even though conservative views seem to be more compatible with traditional Christian views, neither Republican (generally, conservative) or Democrat (generally, liberal) standards are consistent with God’s standards. Hence, God’s true children should subscribe to neither viewpoint. We dare not try to shoehorn God’s perspective into our own. Instead, we should follow the lead of our Elder Brother, who steadfastly claims that "My Kingdom is not of this world." Our position should be the same, taking ourselves out of the parochial wrangling which is fracturing the current world.
