I'm a convert from Jain/Hinduism. You're right. When I first converted I was so excited to go to church. And then I went to church. And then my enthusiasm fizzled. It took me many years to really respond adequately to my conversion. Your words echo my sentiments. Christianity isn't supposed to be politicizes. We're not even supposed be a "voting bloc." We are supposed to be lights in the darkness, doers of good in darkness. There are so many things that happen to people that we don't know about. Even those that have worked hard to overcome challenges had help along the way, they're just too egotistical to admit it.
