... I could live with that so long as the 'authority of Jesus Christ' refers to the voice of truth in the silence of my own heart (Matthew 6:6) ...

What "truly Christian" laws would instruct/allow/invite the murder, rape, torture, vandalization, pillage and disenfranchisement of others ...?

What forces would prevent people from instituting "Jesus Christ" as the "Fuhrer" ...?

The force that would prevent people from instituting Jesus Christ as the Fuhrer is Love. Love is the most powerful force. The saving Grace of Love is JESUS's freely given gift to ALL of us.

I wonder whether you might enjoy Derrida's "The Gift of Death." I found it accessible and poignant.
