Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."

Sonnet CXVI)

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

-- William Shakespeare

Within Love's bending sickle's compass come...

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.67

I'm not surprised.

I do tend to be distrustful of concentrations of authority while at the same time affirming the need for such concentrations of authority in our lives.

Fred, I copied and pasted his words onto this link but the translation was hard to understand anyway. Maybe it translated it literally or something, but I just couldn't understand exactly what it was supposed to say. Oh, well. Sad
