Considerations

Church and State
and where ever there is no separation, there is fascist government. Religious monotheism is fascist. One God allows no others. And of the three major monotheistic religions Judaism, Islam and Christianity, they all have the same God, and yet still they are all at war in the Middle East, the birth place of oneness. You think they tolerate pagan Gods ?

Which is to say if monotheists all with the same one God can't get along, how could they the many other Gods there are in the world ? Religion is bad for international business. One God is intolerance personified.

Church trumps state. God is the greater authority. Men write governmental constitutions. God writes, well God's messengers write scripture as his scribes. "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

“We Have seen the necessity of the Union, as our bulwark against foreign danger, as the conservator of peace among ourselves, as the guardian of our commerce and other common interests, as the only substitute for those military establishments which have subverted the liberties of the Old World, and as the proper antidote for the diseases of faction, which have proved fatal to other popular governments, and of which alarming symptoms have been betrayed by our own.”

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." That will get your roads built your sewer system, water and electricity. "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Who says God said what ? Obviously God is not going to be writing any governmental constitutions. Does anyone know of any he has written. Who speaks to God, for has anyone heard his voice ? for if you have, you are in for fulmination and execration and will be decapitated from your church or your body.

There is the church, an organized body like a government, socialist. Or is it privately owned by God ? Still it depends for its economic livelihood upon the support of the community as a whole. But do they build roads to anywhere but heaven ?

Monotheist Gods are always men and they smite the wicked. If God had a wife she would be in the kitchen baking wafers. Has anyone seen God. Not lately, he is an absentee landlord.

And what does the church do for non-members. Really not anything, but the church wants the government to support them with non-member taxes. The one God is all, thus the all should support God.

Notice religious states are often monarchies like in some Arabian realms. Well the one king monarchists and one God monotheists would go well together, the monarchists using the one God to enforce their one king domain. Some kings purport to be God.

Monotheists are always split between Progressives and Conservatives, owners and workers, capitalists and socialists. In Christianity it's called Protestants and Catholics and in Islam called Sunni and Shiite, which generally speaking means salvation of self the owners, or salvation only thru the auspices of the church the workers. And I would say in Judaism it would be orthodox and seculars although few may agree.

Monotheism has murdered millions and those may be the lucky ones, however polytheistic religions or spirituality has done the same, although say in the case of Rome, was it the spirituality or was it the progressive monarchists ? And the same for the central and south Americans of ancient times. In which case progressives are as fundamental to human holocaust as is religion.

But then is not religion and progression similar. They deny and negate the consequence of any given state or entity, or hell all of it, which is to be replaced by superior qualities and conditions, progressives home improvement, and religionists other-worldly amelioration. However what is replaced must first be removed by transformation or destruction.

So the church then is not so much interested in a better world this, tax free as well as economically supported by the whole, because what - they are moral ? They do good works populating the planet with doctrine ever more people, because every spirit deserves a chance. But of course if spirit strays from the way too far, they go to compassionate hell, and lucky not worse. So pay your taxes, or the I die us will give you an audit.
