secular government

I think that the results of a world secular government would be catstrophic and have several severe consequences. In today's world we can see that as secularism gros in our government alone, severe changes come about that go against Christianity. Secularists and more specifically atheism and post modernism push towards equality and the growing trait of tolerance. However, with tolerence comes an intolerance for religion since religion does not accept all other views. It strives for complete tolerance and is intolerant of anything or anyone that isn't which is in itself a contradiction but it is a contradiction that seems to slip by undetected. Because of this intolerance for the sake of tolerance i believe that in order to acheive their goal they would slowly push religion out of the picture claiming tha it is an obstacle of threat to the developement of society. Even further I believe that certain laws would be removed and certain practices seen as totally normal such as abortion, homosexuality, ect. People would try so hard to escape responsability that eventually restrictions upon most debated topics today would be lifted and we would enter into more of a completely most modern world than anything. It would soon become the popular view among all people and because of it morality would slowly disappear.

Justice and Equality

The article speaks of a type of Justice and equality very different from the Justice and equality we see in these verses in the Bible. In the verses states God tells us about law as being an act of love and that it is for our own good, it is a pure and good thing which should be followed for healthy reasons. The law of the article on the other hand seems to speak of a law in the United States that is oppressive and selfish in every way. It is seen as a way for those in government to hold their spot at the top of the food chain as well as form rules based off of their needs and wants. It is a selfish system of greedy people who are oppressing the people for personal gain. God wills for us to show justice by loving others to the best of our ability so that we can spread the message of God's love to the world in the best way we know how. We are all created equal as men and we all have the ability to love.

Islam Law

Islam law shows a set of rules and government similar yet so very different from that of Christianity. We as Christians follow the Word of God and strive to upkeep the laws in order to become more like God, whereas Islam seems to only have a set of laws made by Allah for them to follow for reasons that only he knows. Islam law seems to show an extremely strict set of laws where severe punishment will come for anyone who disobeys. For example, the punishment for stealing is usually to cut off the persons hands, which is an extremely brutal punishment for a crime of that sort. The disciplinary system of Islam instills fear into anyone subject to it, whereas we as Christians have laws, but do not rely on fear to drive people into believing. Christianity holds a set of rules for its people to follow but does not cause the people following those rules to fear for their lives. God wills for us to love our neighbor and above all other laws love God, which will lead to a life filled with joy in knowing that you are filling your life and others with love. Islam has no such command and instead thrives off of an order to follow the will of Allah or face severe consequences to the point of death.
