Re...Politics or state affairs is liken to a person. Religion is her shadow. The former rules reality, the latter fires your imaginations. Those who rule know the importance of their separate functions. To rule you, they have to tame your soul and conquer your imaginations. <br /><br />When Rome approved Christianity to share power, Rome ensured that her doctrines(reformed) must and should support state hegemony and not subvert it. It was to be partnership in power and the "kingdom of God" relegated to hereafter or visions of sweet chariot.<br /><br />Today, the modern term is separation of church and state. Christianity should remain as an ineffective shadow to do the bidding of real people. <br /><br />Long live the Roman empire.

Even if the leading person him or herself has good intent, somehow along the way, there are those who assume such role or get close enough to manoeuvre the religious body land up exploiting or abusing the followers and non members. The sins of self righteousness and pride are very overwhelming. In the end it gives the whole creed a big image and worse, bring down the trust and faith of those who believe in it.
