Subjekt: Re:If there is a separation of church and state, then why are some politicians selling their perceived Chistian values as potential government policy

Übergeek 바둑이: Many reasons.

Pandering

You can't completely divorce yourself from your convictions. Forcing your religion on others is one thing. Promoting certain principles (such as doing good) is not a bad thing.

Many "Christian" princples are followed by people like you. Obeying the government is a Christian principle. Being a good citizen is a Christian principle. So is honesty. And expecting others to be honest is a principle that we can agree is a good thing (certainly isn't a bad thing).

It doesn't make one a Christian just becuase they follow the principles. But there is no escaping the influence of the Judeo/Christian ethic.

"Everybody is required to pay for Defense Insurance"

I won't even bother with a statement like this. It's false on the face of it. Please don't post this again. It hurts when I fall on the floor and laugh my @$$ off.
