The Wall

This week as I spoke to my Lawyer friend about Prop 8 issue in California, I decided I would write on separation of church and state. Not knowing what I was getting into I started out to do some research. Countless of hours later and I have a piece that I myself can't understand.

I spoke to a few people about the topic and I have come to the conclusion that very few people know what the whole church and state issue is all about.
According to the few religious leaders I spoke to, they said doctrine of "separation of church and state" has been used, and is being used, to effectively drive religion from the public square. The historical perspective on church/state issues reveals a much different story. The government was to accommodate the religious communities; religion and religious expression were to be encouraged
Politicians use the church and state issue to prey on the People in America. They use religion to their advantage once elected they would like religion to stay away from politics. Religious leaders are then encouraged to recognize wisdom in politics,however Politicians can't recognize the wisdom in religion. Is religion just a way for them to gain votes?
The question today is, Can there be an absolute separation between Church and State. If the Church would leave the business of the State alone can the State stay away from the running of the day to day activities of the Church.
Where do you stand on the issue?

The church and state should be seperated. They should not interfere with one another. The state should not interfere with religion and I don't think the church should interfere with the state. The state should be allowed the option to use wisdom and guidance in their decisions and if it is considered interference with one another than so be it. I hope this makes sense.
