I was watching the news and the archbishop of canterbury said that he thought it was bad that a Christian country was considering accepting a law of Islam. At this point I thought to myself "why accept any religion into any politic system or law structure" I think that we could field a great set of laws that would not be based on either religion but but keep all religious communities happy. What do you think? Should politics embrace religious thought or just keep it out? I have more information on the subject here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/theissues/article/0,,777972,00.html *edit* yeah don't bash religion just discuss it |
The archbishop was the one calling for there to be two sets of laws in the country. One for Muslims and one for everyone else. As such, he is a tool. But it's ok, he can say whatever he wants, no one really cares what he has to say.

There is no way such a system could ever possibly work. I mean, if you really didn't want to live by the laws of the country. Move to a different country. Everyone in the country should have to live by the same laws. Here we see another example to prove just why religion should be kept out of politics. They just do not mix. Also I would say that most laws, morals and ethics are based around not wanting to harm or injure other members of the same species that belong to the same group i.e. country. Hence countries tend to be a lot more heavy handed when dealing with other countries, i.e. the army, as opposed to the police for inside the country.
