Raycpa asked:

If one is a Christian how does he not "legislate without injecting his religion". ?

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.
- Therefore a Christian would legislate according to our Constitution, -- without injecting his religion into laws. -- Just as many do.

You expect that a Christian would be able to ignore the morals taught by Christ

Not at all. But your religious morals & the legislation of laws could not infringe on the rights of your peers.

that he should obey and use another standard by which to measure. What standard might that be ?

Our US Constitutions 'standard'.

Would a Christian still be a Christian if he did not measure his descions by Christ's teaching?

Measure as you like, - but legislate by our supreme law..

Did I answer your question?

Your assumption is that a Christan cannot maintain adherence to the constitution (Which is a Christian requirement to uphold authority) and use Christ as his guide toward making his decisions.

The question I ask is that you and Bunny seem to want more than that. You want Christians to avoid being Christians when the legislate. How is that possible?
