I believe that the use of Christian belief in politics is wrong. Religion is personal and should only be shared in a worship environment.

Your religious beliefs affect your entire life surely? If because of his religious beliefs, a politician believes, for example, that gambling is wrong, then by your logic, how should he vote if there is a bill to legalize gambling? I don't see why he shouldn't be able to follow his conscious and vote against the bill... I definitely disagree with your opinion. A politicians should be able to follow his religious beliefs in his working life. If the people don't like it, then they can vote him out of office.

It is ok for themselves to be Christians, but to use Christianity within the Right to me is abominable. If you people can find an honest politician who follows the Christian religion and uses it in politics as a real benefit then please give me his name. <br /> <br /> In my country, which is obviously Wales, the politician is in my opinion, a worse liar than Satan, and that is saying something isn't it. <br /> <br /> [[User:Draig goch20|Draig goch20]] 17:35, 12 Aug 2005 (PDT)<br /> <br /> An honest politician follows the Christian religion and uses it in politics as a real benefit: Heiner Studer, member of a local town executive and member of parliament in Switzerland, whom I know personally (same congregation). Another one was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Trajkovski Boris Trajkovski], former president of Macedonia (according to Heiner Studer who knew him well). Interesting is that in both countries the Methodist church is a small minority church. --[[User:Irmgard|Irmgard]] 05:05, 30 Sep 2005 (EDT)<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> Your argument doesn't make any sense at all.

Reformers [[John Calvin]] and [[Huldrych Zwingli]] had no state office but were both very active in politics and Zwingli's successor [[Heinrich Bullinger]] when elected into office by state officials, made a stipulation before taking up his office, that he'd be free to criticize the state (and its officials) from the pulpit. In the Reformed Church of Berne such mutual critique of church and state has been part of the constituency until the 20th century. --[[User:Irmgard|Irmgard]] 04:38, 30 Sep 2005 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Add comment here''<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> Go to [[Religion and politics]] contents page</div> Irmgard http://www.wikichristian.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Talk:Politics,_the_Church_and_the_Government/discussion&diff=6562 Talk:Politics, the Church and the Government/discussion 2005-09-30T08:38:26Z <p>Irmgard: </p> <hr /> <div>I have a personal belief that religion and politics should not mix.
