Applying godly direction meant to govern our personal lives to public policy would work in some cases, but in others be highly problematic.
How well would turning the other cheek have worked following Pearl Harbor? If Canada demanded Detroit should we give them Chicago as well?
But supposing for a moment that it is an effective way to govern in all cases, do you think it moral for the authorities to show compassion by ignoring their vow to uphold the laws of the land and to allow certain individuals to break laws, unfairly burden other law abiding individuals in the process?
I don't think you can make the case this is what Bush is thinking.
I don't know what Bush is thinking. I just commented that his polciy is consistant with Christian teachings. Take that for whatever it means.
