Separation of Church and State?

[Gottle_of_Geer]

Malachi4U:

In the USA we take great pride in the seperation of Church and State. Obviously the Catholic Church finds it OK to combine the two. What better leader for a nation then a man who follows God and makes others follow Gods law? No abortion, etc…

Now for the Protestants. We live in a Protestant country that prides itself on seperation of church and state. What do you think of this issue?

For all of you who want a Democracy (A Republic if you’re American), when you get to heaven will you ask God to give up His political power so you can be self represented and tell Him just to stick to His religion at home? Why the difference?

That’s simple - God is Righteousness; but men are sinners.​

God does not have a religion. It’s beyond belief that sinful man, whose wickedness needs to be curbed, could be confused with the Holy God Who is altogether Righteous.

That is why democracy, which allows no special place to any one group, is preferable to a theocracy, in which human egotism can all too readily be mistaken for the Will of Christ, and in which human cruelty can be sanctified by being carried out in the Name of God.

And why the Government of God is not like those of men. God is not a man. ##

Ortho:

I acknowledge there are folks who want God out of government.

However, this does not negate the fact that Catholic officials and voters are free to make decisions informed by their religious convictions. The fact that people complain means nothing. Let them complain.

If there is nothing stopping them from expressing their opinions, and they don’t, the problem lies with the Catholic officials, not the complainers.

What kind of person caves in simply because someone complains?

Yes, but these folks grow in number greatly, soon majority rule will make our opinions obsolete. We as a democracy rule by majority and from the looks of recent polls those who don’t have are beleifs are there at about equal with us, soon they will out number us and we will be the few complaining, then I would like to see you say it means nothing. Being Catholic/Christian gets harder every year with more and more government calls for us to restrain our religion to uphold the freedoms of other religions. Our officials can do what they want, but soon they wont be able to do much of anything. I’m not saying give in at all, but that Christianity in general is becoming more and more suppressed. People don’t want peole with Christian views leading our country any more and it is getting worse.
I hope now you may get my point.
