It comes across to me that what you are really saying is that "Anyone I don't agree with shouldn't be allowed to vote."
Maybe I am misunderstanding your post. If I am I apologize. If I am not, please explain why you believe that no Christian principle should ever see the light of legislative day.
| Some Christian principles coincide with maintaining order in society as above. No Christian principle should ever see the light of legislative day if it is EXCLUSIVE to Christianity and has NO SECULAR PURPOSE. In a secular government, laws should have a secular purpose. To protect freedom of religion, no law should be passed solely for a sectarian purpose or to protect a sectarian ideal. The greatest danger to liberty lurks in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.
