Discipler, I think MrD is talking about your vehement defense of the pro-life agenda as well as the intelligent design, anti-homosexuality/g ay marriage etc. issues putting you inline with mainstream Christian politcal movements in the US. Basically the idea of legislating Christian ideologies.

Mimio......do you not want people both to vote and live by what their conscience tells them?
Telling someone to leave their religion out of their politics is like telling someone to use the toilet w/out taking their pants down...
... meaning: it's a part of the process.
Those w/religion live their lives via a set of morals/rules etc that they feel are 'right'. Their feelings may not be 'right' from the perspective of those w/out religion in their lives (they probably even may same 'loony' in the minds of those who don't have religion in their lives)
...but who are 'you' to tell them NOT to vote their conscience or fight for what their conscience tells them is right?
Just because a man's principals are religiously based does NOT mean he has no right to hold true them when it comes to politics... because those religiously based principals ARE his/her politics.
