Answer 1

Hmm, that's a good question. There's the issue of seperation of church and state, but originally the Pope had so much influence over all the governments that had existed.
The pro-religion people want all governments to unite under their religion, and to be ruled by priests.
The pro-government people just want to be left alone because they don't agree with the pro-religion ideals.
However, I believe religion has become a tool for the government leaders.

Answer 2

Religion and government are not the cause; it's the concept of the self that sees itself as separate from others and the rest of the universe (making alliances with different groups or with special loved ones, etc.). Religion and government can be two group manifestations of this. There are countless other group manifestations of this, that have led to war (nationalism, racial superiority, ethnic and cultural superiority, etc.). The ONLY way to get peace on earth is for each of us to work on reducing our self/ego -- and this means in ALL forms, including the very subtle 'spiritual ego' where we see ourselves as working towards peace, helping others, etc. This latter stuff is often met with outrage by most but the paradox is that one can only really do good when one's actions are coming from a place where this is no concept of 'someone doing good'. Again, the issue with ALL problems is this concept of the self as separate from others; there are different mind training paths to bring this change (e.g. Zen is one of them).

Answer 3

Its not simple. All governments have to have laws that are parallel to gospel law, or Islamic[Arab] or Jewish or they aren't accepted by the people. Here in USA case abortion, prohibition and now gay marriage; Laws regarding abortion Have caused nothing but trouble and any laws regarding gay marriage will cause dissent. Those issues are not accepted in the Christian faith.[bible condemns drunkeness} There are people don't believe the gosple should influence laws and gays and women have a right to choice? and they have a point.

Answer 4

In Islamic nations, religion and Politics go together. In most western nations today, Religion is slowly but surely moving away from government.
So, you are correct if you are talking about Islamic Religious Governments and very wrong if you are talking about Western Governments.

Answer 5

became into Jesus the son of God in the previous he became into conceived in the womb of Mary? became into Jesus partly flesh and spirit creature beforehand of being placed in the womb? became into the fetus and the recent born infant Jesus the son of God? What made him the son of God beforehand of entering that egg in Mary's womb as a spirit creature? whilst he shed his blood and died on the pass, became into he nevertheless the son of God? for 3 days became into the son of God lifeless? Did Jesus want or became into he required to maintain or look after any of the flesh at the same time as alive to stay the son of God? he's the son of God whilst alive as a human or as spirit creature..that doesn't substitute. purely the makeup of his physique.Nowhere in the bible does it specify that he had to keep or carry onto any flesh or bones he had as living individual. Nowhere in the bible does it decrease the be conscious, the 'grasp worker', the son of God, in skill to accomplish any miracle regarding flesh. Did he no longer develop the lifeless? Feed 1000's from some scraps of fish? turn water into wine? Why are you proscribing his powers because of the fact the writer of all issues, to by some skill require that he actually had to placed on an identical flesh that he sacrificed for all mankind. this is you it is being adamant approximately no longer something. Over 50% of christianity does not have faith that Jesus became into taken back to heaven with a fleshly physique partly or in entire. Jesus became into no longer known with no hardship by making use of his disciples that ought to furnish a clue as to what flesh he became into donning. It basically did no longer matter. Jesus became into alive returned because of the fact the Son of God whatever sort he adapted, placed on, created, materialized.

Answer 6

Exactly! There are more possible divisions among humans than there are humans. That way, I'll always find something that sets us both apart. I'll resent that, and I won't join you to work for our benefit, because you're my enemy, for being a different religion, a different party, a different race, a different sex, or whatever...

Answer 7

if it was so simple, then believe me, we would have already done it. then again; as wounded human beings, it really doesn't take much to turn us against each other, now does it?

Answer 8

I think youre ranting.... Religion has NO PLACE in government. Unfortunately, Repubelicans are attempting to make it so. Which sickens me.

Answer 9

It's simple to SAY that, but it's impossible to DO that. People are too greedy, selfish, and ignorant. It would be nice, but it's impossible.

Answer 10

Divide and conquer
