[quote name='ilja' date='Sep 30 2007, 10:01 PM'][quote name='leftcoast, right winger' date='Sep 30 2007, 10:35 PM']So then if some religious leader has a revelation that (insert name) is a tool of Satan politicians should obey him and his followers no matter how many others may disagree? Is it right for some group to impose their personal agenda on society because their deity tells them that only their position is the "truth"? I believe that we all have free will, and that if we truly allow ourselves to be guided by the Holy Spirit in our readings and translations that we are able to form our own views in accordance with G-D's will. Groups are free to offer their opinions on things, but not to dictate to others the "proper" course of action.[/quote]
I'm not quite sure I understand what you are saying but I don't think politicians or anyone should obey a religious leader as if he is the master and they are the slaves. Shoot, I even disagree with my own Senior Pastor at times and have been taught by him that we should weigh everything he says against the Word of God since he is human too and subject to mistake.

I don't see how a group of people who have formed their group because of their religious beliefs should be treated any differently than any other type of group formed for any other reason.

There's a big difference between saying that one's religious beliefs should be made into law verbatum and that one is influenced by their faith to fight for a particular cause by supporting certain candidates or certain legislation. [/quote]

I think we are both on the same page only expressing it differently. (And you're gonna burn for daring to disagree with the pastor! :victim: )
j/k about the burning!
