Religion can be helpful in government because it can help by helping congress decide things. Congress can try and make decisions based on some peoples beliefs so that they can make a good decision that a majority of the population will agree with. It also gives us a moral code, so that we don't make any hasty decisions.
ReplyDeleteReligion is really what Utah is about getting in the way of letting some people getting married, because they don't like to see men with men and women with women. Most people outside of here have other views on it.Many people take religion as a roll in our state.
ReplyDeleteWell in a lot of ways religion can help government just because the church's are always more organized then government. A god example is the Mormon church, the prophet tells the people to always save and make good use of their money, they also tell you to store food and etc just in case if something were to go wrong. Also the pope does the same thing to pretty much they just are all different. Also in Utah everyone is pretty much Mormon so they are all pretty good in the system and they are Republicans.
ReplyDeleteReligion can be helpful to the government because it helps people choose the right things. Choosing the right thing will make people agree with that. Choosing the wrong decision will make so many changes, because most of the people wont agree with that.
ReplyDeleteI feel relgion could maybe help but I think it would do more harm then good. It would drive votes to go to the competator because he is trying to throw relgion on to politics which I may state is confusing enough as is!
ReplyDeletePope Francis a capitalist stating his facts and opinions on the economic structure of today's society has a good point. But it is causing a stir between the political stand by the US government. Francis believes that the US free market to give away free food stamps and health care, is politically not right. But republicans and democrats are debating weather or not to take religion into government matters, because the Pope said this or he said that. John F Kennedy a formal president didn't take advice from the church and he ignored what the Pope had to say, to not confuse government with religion. But then again in our history many civilizations formed around religion and based there government off of it as well. Religion can be helpful to set the foundations of a civilizations government, but it could also destroy it.
ReplyDeleteReligion is something sacred, everyone should be in touch of God because that way we can be better at everything. In the state of Utah they wanted to legalize gay marriage and they suspended it for the same reason. Religion is a big thing and most of the people, here, in Utah went against it. People with beliefs and good morals help the needy and even make it so that the congress can try and make good decisions.
ReplyDeleteReligion would have no effect in the government. It's run off people who decide things based on what would be "best" for the people. For example, in Utah (a known mormon state) same sex marriage was legalized, not based on religion but on what they thought would be best for the people. All in all, Religion would have no effect in the government.
ReplyDeleteReligion can help the government in many ways. Many even relies how the future will be but only combining all the religions together this might be a good way for people not to hate on other religions. So in a way it can help.
ReplyDeleteReligion can really get to people heart and emotional. It can help other understand whats really going on in the world and make t more clear.
ReplyDeleteIf someone is going to be a leader then focusing on a different subject then that is being an expert. Trying to help out the others can be very helpful because then they get some feedback. It is not okay for a churches to give opinions about something because not everyone has the same opinion.
