[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] DP. If separation of church and state is a Christian principle, why did it take 1600 years of Christianity for Christians to figure that out? I'm a Christian and I believe in freedom of religion, but it's not inherent in Christianity. [/quote] “Render unto Caesar what is due Caesar and unto God what is due God.” (Matthew 22:15-22, Mark 12:14-17 and Luke 20:29-26). Separation of church and state is definitely part of Christianity. Whether or not the ancient Greeks had it too. (The claim that it can’t exist in Christianity because somebody else had the same thought is a little silly—did the Greeks have a patent on that idea?) Whether or not Europe went through centuries of the “divine right of kings,” and BTW the whole idea of anointing kings is more an OT thing anyway. [/quote]
