    We have been discussing identity for 2000 years, my identity was stolen by the state where I was born and turned into a instrumentality of government, I am an "internally displaced" man, on the very land where I was born, in a stateless man because my nation state does not acknowledge any citizenship they only offer "residence" which is a temporary status, I can not use my given name from birth because that name and birthdate correspond to the registration of a government organization, as Jesus said "that is what you call me" I can't accept the assigned default status of less than human, if I am to identify myself or be forced to allow others to define me it will become a matter of life and death.

    What if people like Adolf "you know who" decided they wouldn't go into politics and instead they chose to focus on art?
    Even though they'd be laughed at and nobody would take them seriously, they might help the world become a lot more peaceful.
    And why do you think of people like me who have a very peculiar set of beliefs as antithetical to a faux reality (truthful but not convenient) are ridiculed when we focus on very artistic measures such as religion or expressive Christianity instead of real politics?
    Do they not know the alternative for people like me?
    It's not that I'd be automatically somebody like Adolf if I started legitimately getting involved in politics, but by my being involved I canker and rust the entire establishment because my voice is so strong and the truth is always inconvenient.
    I'd rather be entirely distanced from politics and let the hippies take control, because my beliefs in Greco-Roman law and order would cause a lot of problems in a society that doesn't want either.
    It's better to erase myself and my beliefs from the landscape, because untold terror would abound due to misunderstanding and human error even though my beliefs have truth.
    I'd live like Mark Twain any day before I'd be in politics. Nobody can even remember the world leaders, problems, or political figures when Samuel Clemens existed off the top of their head, but we all know who Mark Twain is.
    I find that fascinating.

      We are created in the image of God. That is our primary identity. We are related to God. We are to reflect His attributes.
      If we are believers in Christ we are purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ. We are redeemed from our sins. Our identity is in Christ. We are the children of God. We belong to the family of God.
      Our value, if it comes from outside of us, is subjective and perishable.
      But we have intrinsic value because we are created in the Image of God and bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
      We are valuable in the sight of God. No matter what we have or otherwise.
