Should state and church be separated?

What are 3 good reasons Church & State should be separated?

  • I am writing a position paper for my political science class & need some help.

  • Answer:

    1. The Church is based on 1000 year old text written by man to control man. 2. I don't believe in your religion so therefore I don't want it dictating to me what I can or can't do. 3. The Church, as is all religion, is self serving.

Think of why the founding father's thought to put it in the constitution to begin with.

Church abuse included demanding payment for frogiveness of sins. Unfortunately, each STATE (municipal corporation) is attempting to create debtors prisons. In fact, everyone in jails and prisons is being held under a Bond, by default inmates have acted in commercial dishonor and have failed to discharge the debt assigned to their strawman, person as defined under Statute. It starts as an apparent public commercial process, but Bonds (inmates) are quickly sold to private prisons and investors, which purchase the debt as mortgage "backed" and use as collateral to futher fund THEIR corporate empires.

Which religion should we use to control the state - what if it was a religion that you did not like? What if you (or your kids) were forced to pray to a God you did not know about - everyday at school? And be punished if you did not! On the other side - remember that the christian belief was selected by a ruler in Rome as the only religion. What if government did that today - you have to be a member of a Baptist Church or die!

1. To prevent undue government influence on religious practice and teaching. 2. To prevent faith base organization from imposing religion via government authority. 3.When government is not separate from state. It is usually controlled by the teaching and practices of a single faith or belief , therefore it is unable to protect or support those citizen with religious beliefs or non-belief beyond the faith endorsed and respected by the State.

they shouldnt, the church is perfect and its values are perfect so they need to combined them.
