The government is not an authority in spiritual matters

The draft rules on regulating religious organizations must not go without a censure. The government seems to be chewing too much. It wants to regulate every aspect of our lives. This is contributing to the growth of big government. Most social theorists have warned against big government. It is Henry David Thoreau who said: ‘That government is best which governs least.’

That some pastors use deception is no excuse for introducing legislation. We will always have the simple minded among us. The government cannot legally enforce common sense. Let the deceivers and the deceived be.
