Back in seminary, one of my professors told us that the Christian position could not comfortably fit on a continuum from economic left to right, nor from authoritarian to libertarian, but would be off the continuum somewhere, because our wisdom comes from outside the world (if I remember correctly).
Thus, with The Political Compass, which attempts to locate one on a grid (with the axes being the two mentioned above, economic left/right and authoritarian/libertarian), I suppose—if the professor is right—I am hovering above or below the plane of the grid. However, the point I'm hovering above (the projection of my position on the plane) is also somewhere between the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela, I guess.
