If your questionpertains to the former then, my own view is that I think the state should indeed be secular. Whenyouobserve theocrasies, (government by priesthood) you tend to find the same things.

Well, your reference to "theocrasies" infers GOD, government, which would include following the dictates of THE GOD. There cannot be a "falling afoul" of HIS, dictates, as you caneither accept, or reject HIS, Word. This'rejection' isin a sense, self-victimization. You can't expect a GOD,government to take responsibility for peoplesrejection of the truth.

>> You cannot fight nuclear weapons with a Holy Book, no God is to come down and smite your enemies or part waters so you can escape you enslavers, Black people should understand that better than anyone. <<

It is not who is with THE GOD, but, who THE GOD, is with. Allaah, IS, HE, with whomIS ALL, POWER, and ALL KNOWLEDGE. HE, Alone, decides ALL, things.

No weapons system can be useful if Allaah, The Wise, decides againstthem. Aircraft? I saw a graveyard for Military aircraftsomewhere [AZ ?]in the western USA. A humongous number of useless aircraft. And, money too, comes from Allaah, The Beneficent.

You like Rap Bruh? Well you might remeber this line from a rap track - White Men be Buildin Space Station, Black Men be Playin Play Station.


This seems to me to be folks running away from their problems here on earth. What discoveries have been made to date, that have benefitted the'people' here?

This is the basis for building strong GOD, government. And, since there is None, as Wise, as THE GOD, the government would naturally be "Perfect" in all aspects, eventually. Salaam. OriginalBM
