Church and State

No such thing as separation of church and state. Because they have practically same vision and mission. Church or religion should be responsible for the values and well-being of the citizens. The citizens meanwhile should follow a framework of government for them to have these values and I think democracy does that for Filipinos. As an ordinary citizen I can see that. At first glance, the mostly lacking in Filipinos is that they do not follow simple rules here. They would not wait for the traffic lights to turn green. They rather jaywalk than walk hundred meters more. Just stubborn. But when you see them abroad they are wary and follow the rules. So our conclusion is our law enforcers are not effective. This has to change. The motorists as I said. They are unruly. And some I do not think are ready to drive. The government must have tie-ins with the driving schools for strict driving conducts and training.

The church should criticize citizens including politicians because that is their calling. Teach them the values. In the same way, the church must follow the rules of the government. At this point I wonder why religious groups are not taxed? Only in the Philippines? Why the Bible says give the things that are Caesar's and the things of God to God. Jesus paid his taxes. The Philippine government should start taxing these religions, and religions must comply as law-abiding citizens.
