'To Each, His Own'
'Religion' and 'Politics' is a match made in that perverbial Hell. Individually they Each are like a two headed snake, it can bite you Coming, and Going. Individually, each have been the cause of local, and Global wars, extermination of ethnic, racial, and assorted opposing religious and political parties galore. Both entities want Their 'man' to be 'King' of the hill, and if you don't Believe what They believe then you'll be labeled a heretic or unpatriotic, and condemned accordingly to custom. Both have been, and continue to be the cause of World, Nation, Country, and local divisiveness, especially of Family and Friends. Fanatical adherents of Both entities have the propensity to be intolerant of Un-believers to the point of mayhem, and they Both think nothing of doing whatever it takes to 'convince' non-believers' to convert to Their form of thought. Think here of the Taliban, and ISIS, who subvert and interpret their 'bible' the Quran, to suit their Own ideological bent, and agendas. Contrary to the wishes of the ultra-religious segment of our society, America practices 'Separation of State and Church'. And for good reason. The 'State' does not dictate the operations of the 'Church', and the 'Church' does not dictate the operations of the 'State'. Again, the combination of the two would be a match made in Hell. Except in the minds of the religious fanatics who eagerly want to abolish the State/Church rule which to Them, would be a match made in Heaven, where they could then 'rule' over those they might consider 'non-believers'. A fanatic, is a Fanatic, no matter which camp they come from. That's why we have the 'rule' which protects both from each other, and Both from we who might believe differently from Their beliefs. That's why we have a 'President' instead of a 'King'. That's why in Religion, it should be, 'To Each, His Own'. ;)
