Idolatry of the Bible, my favorite Christian Paradox.
And I think Muslim states and Jewish states are just as ridiculous. While Israel is a Jewish state they're certainly more moderate to non Jews in their country, In Iran a woman can be beaten for not following Islamic dress code, doesn't happen in Tel A Vive.
the whole "Holy Land" thing has always baffled me, it's ******* dirt! Beyond that if it's so Godly why are you killing people there, seems to take away from the holiness wouldn't you think? Why can't everyone live there, practice their religion in their home or church, and leave everyone else the **** alone?
It's pure crap, no religion should dominate society, society should be ran by a secular government which protects all religions while supports none. It is impossible to have a Muslim society where Christians and Jews are treated as equals. It is likewise impossible to have a Christian society where Muslims and Jews are considered equal. This has nothing to do with the "Godliness of the faith" and everything to do with the corruptibility of man.
Take the embezzling nun for example (see current events). certain groups will tell you that "she just wasn't close enough to the lord" or similar speak. The fact of the matter is that being a nun made her no less safe from her own greed. Neither will a Christian government be any more safe against corruption. They already tried it once in Europe, it didn't work the first time.
