Until we're willing to name the darkness, we won't see the light. Until we're willing to see authoritarian corporatism as economic tyranny, we will continue to be at the effect of it. And until we're willing to call an oligarchy an oligarchy, our democracy will be imperiled.

How important is separation between church an state to you? In Today's politics especially within the Republican party i see many religious zealots does your spirituality affect your politics i strongly think the two should remain separate

The separation of Church and State is one of the most enlightened aspects of our Constitution, protecting government from interference by religious authorities & protecting religious practice from governmental interference. It doesn’t separate gov’t from spiritual & moral vision!

I think that’s a good point that’s easily misinterpreted. Spiritual and moral concepts at their core are about compassion. Yes, we need compassion and empathy in politics without the power and control often accompanying religion.

In a mixing pot of many religions having a spiritual ideology guide a moral compass while governing a nation can appear like the complete opposite of separation between church and state depending on how extreme that moral compass is guided by a religious ideology for that person

Can you show me where the words separation of church and state appear in the Constitution? I've read it several times and cannot find it.

That is a great answer! I am a fan. I really like your focus. Have you thought about simplifying your message to be more widely and easily understood? ~Primal simplicity...primal virtue unite the world.~ Lao Tzu
