Resolved: Democracy is best served with a strict separation of church and state.
Okay...now...just post about what you believe in. I need some practice for the next two months' LD debate. |

QUOTE So then my question is, would a Christian feel comfortable being under Buddhist, Atheist, or Agnostic rule? good question. It would depend on the personality of the Christian. I'll say it like this: I'm a Christian myself, and it'd depend on how the Buddhist/Atheist/Agnognistic/Other Relgion rules the country. Seperation of Church and State is a vital thing, and religion and state don't mix. Religion shouldn't have more control than the state, and the state shouldn't have more control than religion. They both should be balanced. If I was forced to do another thing by the government that has nothing to do with the state and mostly a different religion, that tells me that religion might be going too far, therefore religion and state don't mix. I go by the seperation of church and state because I don't want a country that doesn't balance religion/state properly and has religion take over state or state take over religion. It doesn't work that way, and it makes other people of the other religion offended. QUOTE it doesnt matter, hes a cool british newbie hes a lot smarter than it seems, really lol, u mean MarchHare2UrAlice? QUOTE I'll use the example of a self-proclaimed Catholic college in my city- self-proclaimed catholic, yet 40% of the student body is of other religions. Obviously people of other faiths do attend. nice way of saying it. I know a Chinese Christian School next to my school and some of the parents forced the kids to go there and some of the parents don't even care about what religion the kids are learning there. |
