(Originally written May 17, 2006 in Book 1)
The relationship between Church and state should be separate. Separate, yes; however, the government should create an atmosphere that is conducive for the Church to flourish. The government should then leave the Church to worship as they please. But, if a practice of worship is detrimental to any individual or society in a physical way then the government must put a stop to that practice, not to the worship as a whole. This would be the same course of action needed in cases of emotional abuse and psychological hostility. These two must be scrutinized closer than the first. The Church then should influence the state.
