Responds to: "Republicans' tax plan would let clergy endorse candidates from the pulpit" (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/11/02/republicans-tax-plan-would-let-clergy-endorse-candidates-pulpit/825598001)
To me, the Bible seems to suggest that God's administrative design for the human experience accepts God as sole administrator, and all humans as the administrated. "The state" and most, if not all, other instances of human administration seem, at best, examples of God's merciful amount of (a) continued existence beyond the point of rejecting God as priority relationship and priority decision-maker, and (b) human opportunity to test human administration via experience. Suggestion that God calls for human administration seems soundly refuted by 1 Samuel 8.
"Separation of church and state" seems a tactical response to abuse apparently predicted by God in 1 Samuel 8 and reportedly suffered throughout human administrative history. This concept's apparent separation from God's administration seems itself a problem. However, change in any direction other than closer to individual, voluntary reinstatement of God as priority relationship and priority decision-maker seems reasonably-suggested to only exacerbate the problem by increasing the weight and impact of unqualified influence upon individual decision-making by claiming the authority of God.
