Originally posted by Boudica View Post....church and state should be separate
There are Christians who have an emphasis on social justice - feeding the poor etc. These are more likely to be left wing, but not always. There are Christians who have an emphasis on morality - family life etc. These are more likely to be conservatives, but not always. There are Christian roots in the Trade Union movement - their meetings are still called chapels. The Christianity from which that arose was the non-conformist, i.e. the non-anglicans, who often completely agree that chuch and state should be seperate - as in the US. Though originally, the separation was to protect the believers from the state - not the other way round.
While there are neo-con christians, and they're quite vocal, it seems fairly certain to me that they are by no means representative of most Christians. Consider those who support having gay clergy. Are they rabid right wingers?Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
