Oops, proofreading.

I'll relate something the US tried to do some time ago. Before the Iraqis wrote their constitution, George Bush sent US envoys to Iraq to convince the people who were creating their 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 premise of leaving out religion.

I am still waiting for an answer to my original question which was "If one is a Christian how does he not "legislate without injecting his religion". or "How do you propose a Christian can separate his moral understanding from his Christian identity?"

Answering either one would be okay.

As to your question which changed the subject, there is a distinct difference between removing religion from a document and removing it from a man. The latter cannot remove it without denying himself. In the case of a Christian who believes that Christ is within him you believe that he can somehow remove Christ from his decisions. Again, please explain how that can be done?
