Proverbs 28:8

Outnumbered @A Russian Bad Actor

Religion should have no involvement in the government, nor influence it.

Religion, most of the times, promotes ethical actions and activities, but the Government has to take unethical actions in order for the nation to go forward.

Of course Governments can decide to, for example, cut taxation for Churches and such, but no Church should have involvement in the Government.

Cringe take

ok boomer

im fine with a palamentarian government but it needs to be much more direct in its democracy like how it is now its shit

^

Bible promotes monarchy, but with certain freedoms for the people

So probably constitutional divine monarchy?

really?

in what way?

i mean its not the worst its just really risky

The Bible was written so many centuries ago. The world hadn't seen any just democracy. Only the Athenian Democracy, which wasn't that much of a democracy if you think about it.
The more the time passes, the more contemporary religions should become. Otherwise, at a point, religions will become too irrelevant and lose their followers.

>trying to argue what a religion says without being part of that religion

I've read about the religion well enough.

I'm sure you will do a good job of interpreting scripture

I was part of the religion up until recently.

I'm talking about what system of Government the Bible promotes

Two years ago I was an Orthodox Christian.

Not what I want

There's a difference

I didn't say that you said what you want.

I said that even if the Bible promotes Monarchism, we shouldn't follow it

Bible says leaders are instituted by God

Hence divine monarchy

And that was said more than a millennium ago.

Monarchism has collapsed today, and it doesn't function correctly in this modern world.

Following it would lead to a disaster.

damn

Implying we care about the "modern world"

I think some dude once said like revolt against it or smth

Like an old profile picture of mine or something

Not caring about the modern world means that you won't bother to revolt against it.

@Eoppa what do you mean

No, because I care about other things

And I'll gladly revolt to get other things in power

@Ater Votum what specifically? I despise modernism and the state of the modern world

Revolting against something, means you care about it, and you want to change it.
