Can any argue that there are no values to be had were our government to prescribe to some Christian principles? Or have them considered in public debate over policy?

I know I would never prescribe to a government whose leader was also the head of a state sponsored religion, but I do prescribe to valuable principles that should have a place at the table. Think about it Pat before you overreact.

What Christian principles? More specifically, what uniquely Christian principles do you refer to?

"Can any argue that there are no values to be had were our government to prescribe to some Christian principles? "

Could we change that to, "Can any argue that there are no values to be had were our government to prescribe to some moral principles?, leaving out the part about Christian principles.

Good point Neal. Expecting our current government to utilize any universal morals is asking a lot. lol.

I got a robocall this afternoon from Mrs. Santorum, praising Rick and their seven kids. And robo Rick called yesterday. My dw works part time at a local Christian school and they were all excited about meeting their hero in person at a local rally. I've also got calls from robo Romney and a poll from a catholic group asking if I supported gay marriage.
