Since you are stating that I misrepresented his position I will reply. In your case I thought to make an exception since this will be a waste of time.
True I didn't quote every word, but you can tell me how his faith will not influence him and still drive his decisions. I interpret statues for a living and if you can't see that adding the rest of the statements is meaningless, then we cannot communicate on this level.
I wasn't going to comment on the statement that he wants to be a good steward of the earth, but I seriously doubt that you will find a statement by him condemning the communist countries, and Japan for their pollution. I would guess that he is not opposed to the Kyoto treaty. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
“My faith doesn’t influence my decisions, it drives them.”
If you have trouble understanding that sentence, then you need to spend far less time reading statutes and more time reading the English language. Perhaps a paraphrase will make it clearer for you: My faith does not merely influence my decisions. Rather it drives my decisions.
Or even more succinctly: My faith is the basis and driving force for all my decisions.
