You say this

No one is asking that you separate your moral understanding from your Christian identity.

Then you contradict with this

but when one hears a protracted discussion about how one cannot legislate without injecting their RELGION

I am confused about your statements. If one is a Christian how does he not "legislate without injecting his religion". ?

Can a Christian serve two masters?

All US citizens, officials & legislators are bound by oath to support the US Constitution, our supreme law. -- One of which says legislators shall make no laws respecting religious establishments.

Can a Christian serve two masters?

If he can't swear an oath to support & defend the Constitution, I'd guess not.

I'll relate something the US tried to do some time ago. Before the Iraqis wrote their constitution, George Bush send US sent envoys to Iraq to convince the people who were creating eh constitution to leave out their RELIGION.

We urged them to write a document that was moral, fair and just but to leave out religious things like burkas for instance.

As I understand it, you could never be one of George Bush's envoys because you cannot understand the oremise of leaving out religion.

Oops, proofreading.

As I understand it, you could never be one of George Bush's envoys because you cannot understand the premise of leaving out religion.
