Why does the United States promote “Separation of Church & State?.” Clearly the fear of a state run church that leads the people into authoritarianism and eventual totalitarianism. Constraining one so fundamental personal freedom jeopardizes all personal freedoms.
It is now being challenged in the Ukraine and is clearly an eye opener for USA proponents of greater Governmental control.
Today the “Body of Christ,” must “Gather, together,” and be the beacon of “Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness.” Otherwise what we see over there will be here!
