religions and politics So a political party leader mentioned that he agreed if houses of prayer should be kept neutral from campaign settings. Furthermore, the said politician also noted that sermons are not campaigns, and the two needs to be contextually separated. And someone commented that it’s a secular notion. From my perspective, it’s not about secularism or anything. Politics and religions are mutually exclusive by themselves. Politics is about gaining power to rule over other people and lead them towards a goal. Religions –from a theistic approach, is about relating oneself to the divine. While leading people into their peaceful lives might bring you god’s favor or wrath if you lead them the other way around, it’s not the same as a religious action. Really. One might assume that everything one does is an act of prayer, but it applies if and only if one do it on behalf of the god. In order to do that, one needs to always ensure the betterment of all beings. And I don’t think it’s as easy as it seems. What do you recall when you see a naked sexy chick stripping bare? Do you remember the beauty of god’s creation, or do you think of something erotic and sexually interesting? Politics and seeing a stripper doing her job is essentially all the same. There are just too much worldly treats to remember of the one thing that made all those things possible. And unless the general people could see the god behind all that’s profanely interesting and attractive, religions and politics can’t run on the same path. And about the stripper, I could say that I haven’t found anyone who saw god and not the stripper. Of course those same people moans and called his name over and over again, but I guess it’s because they can’t see his majestic presence behind that sexy curves of the dancer’s physique. |
