No, the grandparent's political stance is to be outraged at anybody he/she disagrees with and has an unhealthy obsession to blurt it out on discussions that aren't political.
And to quote Chick-fil-a's CEO: "Jesus had a lot of things to say about people who work and live in the business community … Our work should be an act of worship. Our work should be our mission field." So he sees everything they do as political as well.
The Heidelberg Catechism sums it up well:
> Q. What is your only comfort in life and in death?
> A. That I am not my own, but belong — body and soul, in life and in death — to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.
HN won't let me reply to your next comment, but regarding:
> a reflection of their religious principles or their political ones
This is actually a common misunderstanding and what I'm trying to explain. "Religious principles OR political principles" means there are actually (at least) TWO categories of ideas a person holds, with specific items (homosexuality, death penalty, etc.) falling inside one of those categories.
That's a secular worldview, and it isn't how Christians think. We have one category: God. God is sovereign, he owns everything including me. As Thomas Aquinas said "all truth is God's truth". When we're being consistent (key caveat), we approach all issues as "what does God want me to do?". Political activities follow from there. We often disagree about those secondary conclusions (what God wants from us regarding issue X), but not the core starting point (ultimate allegiance is to God alone).
> That's a secular worldview, and it isn't how Christians think
And yet literally the previous comment you say
> Not political. Religious.
So which is it?
> So he sees everything they do as political as well.
Obviously we have political views, but they're a only subset of religious views. By analogy, geometry exists and is a legitimate field of study. But if you said "all mathematicians think about is geometry" that would be false because it's too narrow in scope. If he's consistent in his Christian worldview "he sees everything they do as religious as well" would have been true.
Nonsense. A certain subset of our society insists on making everything political.
Most of us don’t like it because it ruins otherwise interesting conversations.
What do you think politics is? Like an actual definition.
What political consequences are there to most conversations?
