I am utterly struck how, 300 years after his execution, Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire. ↗

Christ is a persuasion, a form evoking desire, and the whole force of the gospel depends upon the assumption that this persuasion is also peace: that the desire awakened by the shape of Christ and his church is one truly reborn as agape, rather than merely the way in which a lesser force succumbs to a greater, as an episode in the endless epic of power.

Leftism seeks to undo most of the values that are distinct to Judeo-Christian religion. ↗
