My Opinion on Government-Religious Controversy [View all]

[BlueKota]

This might be controversial, but I feel myself compelled by my beliefs and my education to say it. If the government wants religious leaders to stay silent on politics, then politicians must leave religion out of politics. I was taught in church that Jesus said render unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's, and render unto God, what is God's. Not to mention the founders of the U.S. plainly wrote in the very 1st ammendment that the government was forbidden to establish a state religion. Through out history there is many examples of why mixing church and state is a horrendous and dangerous idea.

I love my faith and my country, but 💯 believe in the separation of church and state.
