As far as I can tell Jesus was not involved in politics. There is nothing recorded in the New Testament about Jesus Christ speaking out against any of the political issues of His day. Nothing in His teachings gives even the slightest hint that He had any political involvement.
I have been voting for over 60 years, never seen Jesus name on a ballot paper. Probably an advantage for candidates to be alive.

the strongest and kindest being i know of is Jesus and he was male. and it took some robust male gonads to go to the cross for humanity... Those male gonads meant he never experienced the pain of laboring and giving birth to a child. Unlike some modern women Jesus didn't get an option for an Epidural. and the wine/vinegar/gall/myrrh mixture generally given to dull some of the pain he rejected until his very final moments, took a bit then died...are we really comparing death to child birth? seems a bit odd too me...

Politics has now inserted itself or is inserting itself into EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE including the church. there is but little choice in becoming involved. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ― Edmund Burke not biblical but appropriate...

Maybe they have seen too many horror movies and become hardened No, -not that.
But I have thought for quite awhile now that QAnon has taken their themes from "horror" movies.
They depend on some people's gullibility to believe them to be true.

I think that you have that backwards, wally.
The "church" is trying very hard lately to insert itself into "politics."
The church had controlled the government in Europe.
But when the U.S. became a country, the founders knew the terrible past of religious states in Europe & did not want to happen here.
The wanted a definite separation between the church & state.

What separation of church and state really means? The principle that government must maintain an attitude of neutrality toward religion. The First Amendment not only allows citizens the freedom to practice any religion of their choice, but also prevents the government from officially recognizing or favoring any religion.

In one case, the child (my great grandmother) survived. In the other case, mother and child were buried together. This was not uncommon. Yes, childbirth and death go together. 2. As the legend goes, Jesus had to die a terrible death because his own father required it. This does not speak well for male gonads.

I really rebel against this idea that politics has to be a place full of ego and where you're constantly focused on scoring hits against each one another. Yes, we need a robust democracy, but you can be strong, and you can be kind. Jacinta Ardern Only a Woman can think like that, never a Macho Man. where have I been unkind redback?

Again, according to the legend, Jesus is required to die because his own father has decided that is what will satisfy him. I don't see anything to celebrate about a father/son relationship like that. Back to crucifixion, it doesn't require male gonads; women were crucified as well.

This reminds of those that say the world will end on a certain date. Okay... How about signing over everything you own to me. Never could find a taker.

That doesn't sound voluntary to me.

What will happen on March 3rd? It is a surprise. a good surprise. Trump’s DC Hotel Is Jacking Up Rates For QAnon’s Next Special Date QAnon followers believe that Trump will return to power on March 4 as the 19th president of the United States. At the Trump International Hotel in Washington DC, the least expensive room option is the deluxe king, ranging in size from 350 to 475 square feet. At this time of year, it normally runs anywhere from $476 to $596 per night. Interestingly, on March 3 and 4, the same room is selling for $1,331 per night. That’s 180% above the base rate and more than double what you’d pay any other night in February or March, according to the hotel’s website. www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2021/02/06/trumps-dc-hotel-is-jacking-up-rates-for-qanons-next-special-date/amp/
