I agree with Z. Many Christians, like people of any religion, do not actually see their faith as a philosophy, as a coherent paradigm that gives insight into any and all behaviors and attitudes (often because what they are taught is not a coherent paradigm -- i.e., OT God vs. NT God). They simply see it as a way to feel better about themselves, the SAVED, and a way to feel superior to all others, the DAMNED. This is why those hacks LaHaye and Jenkins are so popular.
