Religious leaders have always held a degree of political influence, it is natural for the religious views to become entangled in everyday life, be it christian views, muslim, jewish etc .... it was early religious leaders made laws and so forth... The fact is that religion is always going to have a bearing on politics, but we dont need religion, what we need is the love of God.

hmmm, mayb i shud have reworded it :
"shud Chritianity get involved in politics?"

i think that
[b]politics shud be influenced by Christianity but
Christianity shud not b influenced by politics[/b]. thats probably wot the problem is in northern ireland.

2day in our government, we see how Christianity has become less and less involved in politics and as a result, we start gettin laws like makin it illegal 2 turn down a gay couple 4 adoption and it wont stop there!!

why shouldn't religion get involved in politics. just look at who was primeminister of egypt. Joseph (the one with the coat of many colours). God raised Joseph up to be His servant and do His work in this particular field. Other people are called by God into the political field too.
