You left out what I said before, about you saying - just saying - you haven't heard of any of the same things in the christian world. To which I replied that this is the operative word. You haven't heard. Might look up the early schisms, might look at the cathars, might look at Calvinism, might look at Protestanism, which resulted in a small scuffle that lasted for about 30 years and left Europe in ruins.

So, you were saying? Just saying?

Yeh I've heard of battles between different sects of Christianity.

I'm saying I think it's an oversimplification to say that this is the reason of a separation between Church and state.

I've read fairly in depth about some of the events and battles between different sects of Christianity, and at no point did I get the impression that all these battles were the one reason that a separation between Church and state exists.

You could say it was partly due to these battles some progression was made, people fled religious persecution and wanted to avoid it in future.

But just to say, Countries with a history of Christianity have more of a separation between Church and state because of some game of thrones battles is over simplified.

Similar battles happen within other religions and don't directly result in a separation between church and state.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
