thats not the way it's structured
Quakers, Baptists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Shakers
All these groups couldnt lead a state
because they are decentralized and private
the way religion should be
Well it really depends on what you define religion to be. It isnt easy to separate religion from culture, especially in less modern societies
Religion plays a huge part in culture and vice versa
Personally I am a primitive baptist
Yeah I assume that's why the US is going downhill
Was it "Iran" in your Catholic school
What a shitty retort
Wait what
backtrack
Religion for europeans doesn't need definition
I am just saying you dont want an Iranian style theocracy
It's Christianity
No that's not what I proposed
More specifically, Protestantism
Monarchies had cooperation with a churchy
It wasnt theocri
You don't want people taking orders from someone else who runs a state
I know. But what im saying is decentralized religions could definitely lead a state if they were to first control the culture. People generally conflate religion to mean Western style religion aka Christianity.
England has an official church now!
It has had one for the past 1,700 years
haha
You could have an ecumenical council that gives guidance to legislators and give us guidance to people on law - a christian-based ecumenical council that allows different sects to sit at the table sects of Christianity and that Christian Department would inform spiritual guidance morality guidance on those who requested it
A spiritual FDA that gives moral and spiritual health to the nation
In defining Christianity as the official Faith you weren't requiring people to be Christians but you are keeping that territory free of competing religions
no
And that is the biggest advantage
you don't need religious authorities in government
You need churches reinforcing western values
Besides that bureaucratizing religion like that is gay
not by order of the state
I disagree I think you could be done correctly that would make things better
And i doubt having an ecumenical counsel will actually get anything done. People have been trying for centuries to cut across sectarian lines and nothing has really been shown for it
Council of Nicea was a disaster
bribes
violence
