Topic: Separation of Church and State
In defence of God

It is possible to defend God ?That inquisitive question is to be dealt with diligently in a war of words .Are we tempted to dare think that God/god is defenceless.

They have been crusades, wars, genocides even earthquakes; all in the name of God/god by people claiming to defend God/god?

We now can understand clearly some of those actions if not all were wrong .But the issue is to see how we are to organise the defence of God/god.It is possible to defend God/god.

First of all to defend somebody means that the fellow has no power to defend himself or herself ,therefore hires the services of some entity( a person or a group of persons) to do so. But that type of defence is not hundred per cent effective. It is visible when the protected and his or her defence(s) are killed or eradicated so to speak in a twinkle of an eye as it happens when the body guards die together with the one they are defending .This obviously as a defence is not impressive. I can so more it is hopeless.

Now  on defending God/god means that God/god is powerless.Is God/god powerless? (No/Yes.)

If God/god is powerless to put across a self defence is accurate then there is a problem. But the very idea of God/god being powerless makes his worshippers as stupid as hopeless. Because the worship owed to some entity it is because one can enter under the protection of the so-called entity. To worship a powerless entity that one is obliged to defend is definitely a wrong decision .It is a sign of madness if not hopelessness. Therefore all wars made in the wake of this idea are totally absurd.

And to defend God/god is a sign of ignorance or bad faith .If God/god is powerless then anybody can offend ( if there is an offence against God? It will be iniquitous to charge innocent people guilty of a non existing crime supposedly committed) him or her and go scot-free.Any religion therefore that claims to belong to that God/god that needs every now and then to be defended by some fanatics is fake .This is a logical analysis that demands that people go unbiased on religious issue . Thenceforth it is clear that God/god that needs to be imposed is powerless and fake and to clinch to him or her  is ludicrous as a simple fact of the matter.

In defence of God/god?

God is powerful therefore does not need to be defended .There is no need to think that one has some mandate to kill ,to burn to ,harass or do whatsoever to his fellow being under the disguise of defending God/god who does not need so fruitless and not sensible effort.To defend God/god is therefore fallacious statement. Any attempt to support such an idea is not godly.A true religion therefore will be a religion of heart that does not need to be imposed by whatsoever means (force or harassment or threats) by whomsoever and wherever. As God/god is powerful he or she is able to know better how, when and where to put across a defence, if there is at all a need to do so.

One thence adheres to that God/god willingly and as it is a mutual contract, therefore any attitude of defiance that will lead God/god to need defence will be excluded.

Summing up, it is clear that the only defence needed by God is that it is proper to stop trying to defend God/god. The reason is simple no one has enough energy and faculty and time to do so. Therefore God/god has no one able to do so .God/god is the only one to put across a proper defence fitting to G(g)od stature .And so far God/god has showed that ability .Because God/god has outlived all generations claiming to defend God/god.

God/god? I've heard of hyphenated names, but that's the first slashed name I've ever seen.

Since God by definition does not err, what is to defend, other that the mistake you made in considering that may have been possible.

 Defense not defence.
