Religion and Politics are inseparable.

Why don't people get this??????

That's why some countries ban certain religions, as the religions could interfere with the politics.



Peace.

This is a truth that needs to be shouted from the mountain tops without ceasing.

Thanks, balunman.
Until our eyes are opened to this fact, we will believe that politics and religion are two "separate" things. But they certainly are not!

(Of course, if your religion is one that you practice in your closet or under a bed, then maybe it could be considered separate...)



blessings,
brian

Or if your religion is such that you don't think you should impose any of its strictly religious perceptions on others, you might keep that part separate and depend on persuasion rather than politics to do what you feel is right.

Originally our laws were to legislate morality, today they are to legislate immorality. We learned to legislate morality from God and to legislate immorality from Satan. Whom do you choose?

We learned freedom from God and bondage from Satan, whom do you choose?

I am enjoying the freedom I found in God. I was released from the bondage of Satan once I became a child of God through Jesus Christ. The only time I do not enjoy that freedom is when I transgress His law and allow the bondage of sin to stain me until I seek forgiveness.
