[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I guess a problem I have with the "how Jesus saw things" attitude is that this should have nothing to do with what the government does or does not implement. Take Jesus' example as moral instruction for your personal life, but people choosing to donate to the poor (for example) and being mandated to do so by the government are entirely different things. By the same token, marriage between homosexuals should be legal, because even if you believe it is morally wrong according to the Bible (I don't), that has NOTHING to do with what the government should be dictating or "allowing."[/quote]

I think you are a rare Christian.  Most believe that the government should conform to Christian values.  They just selectively forget what those values are.

Some religions (for example Catholicism) are very clear on the responsibility of the state toward the poor.  But even there, Catholics (my own religion) often brush over inconvenient statements from Rome or the US Bishops.[/quote]
