What should be relations between the state and religion? Should we tax the churches, or allow them to have a bigger say in social affairs?

As much as I agree on the Church having a role in society, I have to say that the Church should remain separate from the State. Combining the two might lead to a Theocracy.

Honestly if Church had a bigger say in social affairs things would still be in a downwards spiral towards complete moral bankruptcy. Mainline protestant churches have a bad tendency to preach "progressive" Christianity and the Catholic church is led by weak leaders who are letting the Church throw it's historical teachings down the gutter.

As a good Baptist, I concur.

Separation of church and state (I.e. a state church, state telling the church how to operate, church officials having official state roles, etc) is a fundamental Baptist pillar (dating back to the days when the two were intertwined and Baptists were persecuted for not being part of the state church).

And what about the role to the society?

By the way, how're you doing?

The church should be active in society and culture, absolutely, and that would include some things that might be considered political. But, a Baptist distinctive is that the state should have no officially sanctioned church/denomination and that church leaders should have no official state role by virtue of their church role.

Been slammed with work and stuff. Our kitchen remodel is probably about halfway right now, so the house and normal life is all topsy-turvy still, haha.
