he committed murder (regardless of motivation).... the separation of state and religion is two sided! The guy murders a whole family could have other motivations such as a movie - would you ban a movie? The line that is drawn is that gava should not tell you what to believe.... it's none of it's business. The state exists for the people and not the people for the state. same with Marriage - it's not government's business to affix itself in personal matters! The state cannot have oversight on what I believe in! Individual rights of belief are inalienable... ati pastors need to have some theological training? what if my religion believes that the 'upako' is hereditary?
And Kanyari's is not extortion, fraud,? I dont think there's anything wrong in people giving money to the church, but if you are told to give money in exchange of healing?
