Religion has be a Great part of my life since birth. My family is rooted in Christianity. I was raised as a Christian and to this day I am a Christian. Over the years my life, the decision I make have been based off my religion. I was baptized at the age of 7 and have continue to live my life as Christian since that day forward. Yes I have fallen, neither am I perfect but I am willing to grow in God each day. As I have grown in life, I have found a passion for politics, I love people and I believe Christians should have a greater influence in the Govern tent. We all know that Religion and Politics has bumped heads for Centuries. Some believed That Religion should not be involved in Politics and some believe that Politics should not be in the church. It’s the argument of State and Church. One famous President said it like this “Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State”(Thomas Jefferson). I disagree with Mr. Jefferson because our Country was founded on Christianity, many of the laws we know are under is based on the convictions of our Founding Fathers Religion. Our bible tells us “That the government should be on the shoulders of our God”. America was a Christian nation, so why do we try to enforce like just to compromise for other people feelings, now America has pushed God on the back front. In recent years, the Supreme Court has moved away from the idea that the Constitution forbids all religious involvement in policy making and government social programs, but the issue remains a point of debate. One Senator who I whole heartily AGREE with said it best “It was not written into the Constitution. While we have a Constitution that is very strong in the sense that we are not going to have a religion that's sanctioned by the government, it doesn't mean that we need to have a separation between government and religion. And so that, concerns me a great deal."(Ken Buck). I have nothing against those who choose to live different lifestyles, but to say God made you that way, when in the bible it says something different is an insult to Christians. The Church and the Government should be interacting and working together. I do agree that the church shouldn't force the government to make laws to please us, nor should People of different interest groups do it either. We elect Politicians to represent us, but they are doing opposite. If the Church would stand up and refuse to vote for Officials; then it would have a BIG impact on each election. 73% of Americans are Christians, 247 million people. The Church has a Great impact on elections and whatever may go on in America. There is NO amendment that clearly says there should be a separation of state and church, so why as Americans do we try to enforce such a Thing?]]> http://www.writerq.com/mobile/library/757/church-vs-state/ Thu, 09 Oct 2014 20:10:51 +0000 Tev
