I diden't get the feed back I was looking for on my post ( Christianity and democracy) so I am now just asking the simple question:
what do you think about removing church from state?

church should not only be removed from state, but from society entirely.

I disagree, but I am not a religious fan at all. people have the right to believe what they will.
Every way, it hasn't even been removed from your psche but its so deeply ingrained that you don't even realise it.Originally posted by JOHANNsebastianBACH

spuriousmonkey: Great point. I believe the use of heroin should not be illegal, but the production and distribution of it should. which is the same as I believe all religions have a place, but it is un constitutional for the government to distribute it.

Think about what you think is important, compassion for your fellow man? Church. Treating everyone as equal? Church.
Society in general was spawned from religion.
But what kind of society?Originally posted by spuriousmonkey
first there was society, then there was religion

according to your logic it should also be illegal for church to distribute religion. Then i could live with it. If someone comes up with a religion all by himself and keeps it to himself then it is fine. No more organized religion, since they are all cults.

No, it should be illegal for the government to support a single religion. The church can solicit but not force it on others or be publicly prejudice against others who disagree.
Those aren’t directly church related. Those are morals that keep peace within any given government by the citizens.
