Where Would Religious Misunderstandings Be Without Governments Abetting?

In re Christianity one gets through the writings of Paul that one must work through diverse idioms in order to simply increase salvation of souls by their conversion to ethical conduct within and between their idioms; and that to such ends, an apostle must work with whatever initial systems one meets without officious swagger...thus, even Paul saw no one religious construction as the master way of doing things, nor did he really prescribe a complex edifice of his own.

About the only caveat Paul gives is that one must ensure the converted don't reject faith due to wondering why an apostle also comports with current non-believers (i.e., anybody who believes ethics can be wiggled out of on human or some supernatural subterfuge); Paul also indicates God will Himself occasionally answer prayer compatible with His will in re strengthening souls and vanquishing wickedness...Christian disciples to use mental gifts to lessen need for such intervention in the meantime.

It's amazing how time ravaged such simple ideas. Today, there are some who don't look at all the Psalms of the OT as a whole and as to nations say: "Well, it looks like David had all kinds of non-Jews in his realm, wanted such 'strangers' protected too, yet foreign leaders and agents as polemic accused Hebrews falsely". No, some insist the Psalms are proof David was opining epigenetically to a storm god myth, solely to maximize Hewbrew offspring.

These often are the same folks who overlook olden global times where Christian or not women were as property of men, based on "fight for me" appeals of power to males on raw pleasure or epigenetic terms...to some, this wasn't a huge idiom Paul had to work with or toe into, it was his Savior's command to men. Yet the original Christian object appears to have been to get men to not view women as mere toys...daunting task where secular power facilitated to the opposite.

Today there are places on earth wherein have arisen male regimes quashing most of their fellow males, then treating females as toys; there are also places where governments adopt a faith position and epigenetically seek to impose it within their borders and against the world.

In a culture that seems almost to both say in every nation religious epigenetic hijinx of the long ago past must be by sovereignty "table turned" for justice against innocents now present, and paradoxically concurrently saying such new epigenetic religious "setting right" in all places out of one's own nation is a threat to one's homeland but all such epigenetics are prime protected religious speech "of inherently violent people", I respectfully note that none of that in history or now applies to the spiritual Christianity people like me embrace...and thus it's confounding to see in modern times where any governmental epigenetic enterprise(s) find simple ethics a gross offense or sign of diminished mental capacity rather than the object of all Christian sacramentality.
