Should religion stay in the area of spirituality, and not influence politics?

Laws are something everyone in a state or country has to follow; religion is not.

It’s hard for me to fathom that I once believed that god sent his son (who is also himself) to save the people he created (knowing they would one day sin) from a consequence he created, by sacrificing himself as a blood offering to fulfill a requirement that he also made. 😳

You are free to hold onto and find comfort in your beliefs the same way I am allowed to see the bigotry and oppression by the same beliefs.

“You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” ~Anne Lamott

So why are christians deciding what rights people have? You know, the ones spewing "marriage is between Adam and Eve- not Adam and Steve." 🙄

politics and religion should be separate . tho it will be hard to do for when you see in god i trust on the dollar bill . and in court you put your hand on the bible to swear to tell the truth the whole truth in the name of god. ya good luck there. as a non believer. even my neighbors get mad at me for not believing and say all you have to do is let him into your heart and you will be saved. the way i see it one day it will fade away and man will believe in science and not god. i dont think that will be in my life time. and as for adam and eve if they had three sons . who did the sons have children with. just asking and that question i do not ask my neighbors. now if it makes a person have hope in believing good for them because every one needs hope in there lives. just dont push there belief onto me and we are fine. best to leave it alone. and not talk about it. oh and good luck with that. mark
