These two things should never be mixed in an ideal world. But who said we live in an ideal world. The two have become so badly intertwined, its difficult to tell the two apart. Why has it come to this? Who is to blame? Do the people who matter in these two camps even care? I don't think so.
Religion always existed, but Politics is equally old. Religion is a fertile ground for Politics to pick issues from and fan it to flames. The earliest wars were fought for religion. And the new one being fought in various corners of the globe is being fought to save one from extermination or save oneself from the fanaticism inherent in it, depending on the camp you belong to. The question is, who started it?
I for one feel politicians of various hues and kind started this. Now that it has careened out of control, they have no idea how to stop it or for that matter control it. But innocents are paying the price for it everyday and in various parts of the globe. When will the politicians realize their folly and when will we as a people stop depending on the politicians to save us from this Frankenstein created by them?
Equally, when will the Religion in question realize that they are being played to their detriment and do something to stop this?
Oh New Zealand! What have you done?
