What is Your Opinion Regarding Separation of Church and State?

But what is more interesting is who has [b]not posted in this thread. I guess "seperation of church and state" doesn't apply to christians. Can you really blame them? Once they open their hypocritical faces, they've already lost. So I guess the best tactic is to say nothing at all. Oh, and Jackie, you still suck. [/B]

Or maybe us Christians just dont give a sh*t, and realize that trying to associate with you people is near impossible?

However in that specific case I suppose it could be taken as intended to protect the religion from destruction by the state rather than the state from the influence of religion.

Well, it goes both ways. Governent also cannot meddle with religion. Well, it shouldn't anyway. Though I do make exceptions for murder-cults and ridiculous things like that.

Did it ever occur to that the reason it is near-impossible for you Christians to associate with the rest us is because of you Christians?

Sweeping generalizations don't help anything anywhere.

Seperation is okay. It doesn't matter that much.

🤨

Absolutely separated. Humanity is not enlightened enough to understand religion, so we can´t use it to dictate the rules. First we must know the truth behind religion before we start appling rules as if it were true, a fact.... and perhaps it will never become a fact.

perhaps we should realize that rules that are thousands of years old are not necesariyl geared towards a modern society.

My stance?

Preventing the United States from becoming what England once was is a good thing. Squalling "separation of church and state!" endlesslly while being completely ignorant about the context of the whole thing--seriously, I guarantee that many people believe that "separation of church and state" is in the Constitution--is just annoying.

While Christians have done bad things in the past, their actions are not consistant with true biblical teachings and thus cannot be used to accurately evaluate Christianity.

Not true. They simply exploit contradictions which you ignore.

^ Wrong.

Im Christian, yet I support seperation.

If I remember correctly, I think it was the Baptists that tried to persuade our early legislators to institute it. Could you imagined if they would have suceeded? The fundamentalists grew out of that group.

The new draft of the E.U. Constitution will omit mention of God. They're going the seperation route...
