I’m sorry, let me rephrase to be more precise and less judgmental.
Are you {insert gender identity you subscribe to} + {moron who thinks that’s you can make people agree to a legal agreement solely on the basis of reading it despite having no power to do so} who wrote the Subnautica 2 EULA?

I can think of one quite easily! I am in the UK where the influence of religion on politics is very much positive IMO. For example, we have an established church that often speaks up for the poor, against war, etc. Religion is in the forefront of practical action: it is a disgrace we need good banks, but the religious took the lead in filling that need (I see the same around the world too). Also, historically we woul…
Indeed, I had forgotten about England. I'll have to think about it, because it was absent from my long list of priors.

The point was for Christians to remain aloof from earthly problems such as governance, which were expected to be temporary.
Interesting. It certainly was making the point that Jesus was not seeking to lead a political revolution or revolt against the Romans. Saying Christians should be entirely aloof from earthly problems entirely seems contradicted by other things though.
