They say that there is a separation between the government and the church. But is this really true?
The topics / lessons in our church during the last couple of weeks are in line with the upcoming elections. Again, they're explaining why the people within the church should not be divided because God ordered so and so and blah blah, and why we shouldn't worry because they select people whom they think would have the best interest of the church (i.e. our church) in mind.
El Shaddai (I think) also follows a "unified voting scheme".
And how sometimes we'd see representatives from the CBCP, or other churches for that matter, taking part in rallies and other movements raising the hands of politicians.
By doing these things, don't these churches somehow interfere with the affairs of the state?
Religion is one of the principal sources of law in the Philippines (others are based on the Constitution, jurisprudence, legislation, etc.). When in court, prior to being interrogated in the witness stand, people are asked to swear by the bible. Heck, you can even see the words "In God We Trust" inside the courts.
I can see the connections and all but are they REALLY separated?
Halatang lumulutang nanaman utak ko habang asa church kanina. Hehehe. Owel.

Ginamit parin naman natin ang utak natin, un nga e sa pagpili na sundin ang kanyang utos at mas ikalulugod ito ng Panginoong Dios na iisang hatol lamang. *sabi nang ministro
About the people who sit with their ass for hours in the witness stand just swear at the bible because they were just asked to do it, not understanding it. Afterall the bottom line is those two sides would like to win, regardless if the other side would lie or not vice versa. Also, others go to jail even though the person is not the offender. For me they are just doing it for fancy, for the people to see that they are handing down justice with help from holy guidance. Justice for you baby.
About sa seperated, interfering.. such a hard question. Honestly i have 2 sides, these things makes me twisted rofl
