Can I do whatever I want if i create my own religion? Isn’t there a separation between state and church or something?

    You still need to sway the vast majority of people into thinking that your rape, murder and pillaging are something they want to allow, otherwise … you’re just as screwed.

    No because Rastafarians believe that God wants them to smoke weed but they still get arrested for it in the states

    That is ridiculous. Good luck trying but no you can’t rape people and not get any charges for it. Nazi is religion technically, you maaayyy be able to have more than one wife though. Depending on the country.

    No because it must be equal with everyone else. If i was living around your area, and I find out you are just a waste, then i can kill you, but it would not be fair because no one would be give me the right to take your life, you should be in charge of that, but of course you must value it. Many of the laws today are developed from the Mosaic law, some fragments of Hammurabi (check him out) etc. There is a small separation, but most of it is very distinct fundamental laws.

    Well there would be no point in that.If you need a religion follow Jesus Christ. He’s the only one that can save you.=]

    No, you can’t. Those days are over for the most part. That separation refers to the State not being allowed to dictate to the church (whichever one) it’s edicts. It also means that the State cannot establish an official religion. There cannot be a Church of America like there is a Church of England.

    In a more abstract sense, you can do whatever you want, you just gotta live with the consequences.

    Sure, go ahead. Don’t be alarmed when an opposing cult cuts off your arms and legs and uses you for second base.

    No. That’s not how the separation of church and state works. Indeed if the government were to suspend criminal law for followers of your religion, that would violate the separation of church and state.
