The Discussion of Religion and the Law
Religion and the law is a topic that has been debated about for centuries. This is probably why religion is forbidden to be discussed in certain places. After all the years of constant debate about religion and the law, we still do not completely agree. In fact, some would argue that are discussions about law and religion have only become more complex. Many believe that this is because law and religion are not talked about enough. Many feel that the world would be a much better place if religion and the law was discussed in a civil manner in an open forum. These discussions of law and religion would allow us to get at the root of the problems that often has these pertinent conversations ending in anger and disaster. Many think that these law and religion discussions will serve as great therapy. The belief is that the law and religion discussions will allow for the same advantages that any great therapy will give. Once those harsh feelings and resentments come out about law and religion, they can be further exposed, dissected, then amended with the cooperation of all the involved parties. But now that this type of law and religion discussion is widely forbidden in most forums, I guess it will be hard for us to determine the potential influence that this could bring to the world.
1. Another option that should potentially be considered is to possibly have the lawmakers initiate their own discussions about religion and the law. It is known that the lawmakers touch on the surface in their discussions about law and religion, but many say that they are not really delving into the inherent issues there.
2. In their discussions about religion and the law, many common people believe that the government says that law and religion are two separate entities, but many feel that the governing official do not practice the law in this fashion. Many say in their discussions about religion and the law that the lawmakers treat religion and the law as if they are one in the same. Many feel as though the lawmakers govern on the very basis of religion and the law together. They see things as though the government bases their decisions on religion. And this is not to say that they make decisions based on their moral religious values. But many believe that the core basis for many of their decisions if to stay in line with what they believe that their religion dictates. And for that very reason, many feel forced to believe that religion and the law are not two separate things. Instead, religion and the law are very much related. That leaves some to agree with the notion of law and religion, and some to not.
