Should God have anything to do with government?

Question

I mean sense the governments have persecuted Jews and Christians sense ancient times wouldn't it be best to say that government has been the enemy of God? As far as "Republican" or "Democrat" is concerned: I see that the bible seems to be for and against curtain things we see today when you compare the two. When you relate things such as "Compassion" Its easy to see that alot of Democrats are very compassionate people. Then on the other side You see the "Holier than thou" side of things. I see how alot of Religious people tend to vote Republican. But I'm not 100% sure that this is the best thing to do! Alot of Democrats have been falsely accused of things such as: wanting to remove religion completely! Thats FALSE! All people are equal and should have equal rights. I suggest that people look harder into politics before voting based on "tradition". I'm not saying either party is good or bad. But I think it is wise to vote based on facts and not on tradition, or what others tell you!

Answer 1

The government should have no position on religion and support no religion over any other or over non-religion.

People are allowed to have whatever beliefs they have, and these include the representatives elected to the government. Neither party has a lock on religion or lack there of. And that is a positive element, largely because it shows clearly that religious conviction does not lead to any one political viewpoint.

Answer 2

Every government that persecuted the people of God were religious states. That means that the government was controlled, to some extent, by a religion, and it was on that religions behalf that the government did the persecuting. The last religion to do this were the Catholics. The next ones that will do it will be the protestants, who have linked arms with the spiritualist, and with the Catholics. You watch and see if what I say does not come to pass.
How do I know? Preachers are preaching pleasing things, and not even attempting to prepare their flocks for the return of Christ, as they did in a time in the not to far past. They preach that the commandments of God are either of non-effect and are null and void, or that you do not have to keep/do all of them. They teach that God has changed. But I tell you now GOD NEVER CHANGES! And neither does His Law, which is the testament of the character of God Himself.
OK! To secular things! It was the Dems that took prayer out of school, that take the Nativity off of public squares, that promote the homos agenda to force all to except their way of life and to use it as the model for our lives. They either do these things directly or they back the organizations that do.

Answer 3

People who are elected to office should have a strong personal sense of morality. Not so they can force it on others, but so that we can depend on them to do what's right.
I don't really care what religion a candidate has, but I've known many Christians who live good pure lives, and are seeking to please God.
I would rather be served by a person who is committed to living up to God's standards, because the world's standards aren't as high as God's.

Answer 4

If you believe God exists how could he/she not have something to do with government.

In the land of the free I don't think people should be forced to worship in any particular way.

Lets say I send my kids to school and they are Sikh, Jewish, Muslim, Jail, Buddists or I am even agnostic.

Is it fair to force them to worship in the Christian way. Since the majority of Americans are Christian that is what is would be.

This country was founded in part because people wanted the freedom to worship the way they wanted, Quakers and Amish just to name a few.

So pause and consider.

I have a deep belief in God, myself but perhaps my neighbor sees God differently. How do we define God???

Answer 5

In Islam & Judiasm we both have laws and governing systems and way of life.. the christians however don't have ANY religious laws to run their country by, this is why they have so many weird types of secular governments like democracy and communism and fascism... all these ideologies origionated from christianic backgrounds because they have no defined system of governance in their religious text.

Answer 6

This nation was founded on the Principles of the Bible:
" It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible". - George Washington

" The Bible is the cornerstone of libery". -- Thoms Jefferson"

"That Book (the Bible), sir, is the Rock on which our Republic rests". - Andrew Jackson

"God who gave us life and liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed the conviction that these liberties are a gift from God?" - Thomas Jefferson

"It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God and to obey His will". -- George Washington

So why should we believe clueless atheists that are trying to convince us otherwise?
I choose to believe Thomas Jefferson and reject the atheists who are trying to re-write history to suit their own selfish agenda.

Answer 7

This question is brought to you by the Democrat Party of America!

G-d should have something to do with my vote, or I am a MAJOR hypocrite!

Answer 8

If we are all equal and have the right to have religion, then why won't they let it in schools? Think about that. Doesn't seem fair to "everybody". If it was fair, they would allow prayer in schools...

Answer 9

God is in everything.But I do feel sorry for politicians who use the word of God for their gain.Don't want to be in their shoes.

Answer 10

Religion should NOT be involved with the gvt. Separation of church and state.
