I am a Christian and i find the way some fundamentalist Christians define Christian law pretty disturbing…

if we are going to single out religious groups for taking ancient texts literally then we need to single out all religious fundamentalists.. not just those who practice Islam.

Christians aren’t beheading people or their daughters here. Ken, most devout Christians ignore the old testaments barbaric treatment of people. ISIL is not. Call me a troll if you want but don’t blame me for your disdain of religion. That’s on you. We know there are some bad apples in many religions. We know secular people commit crime too! If they are atheist the devil didn’t make them do it. Who is to blame for that? But many religions have tenets to try to live by that are positive. Sharia is not complementary to our system of government, nor to women. It is opposite of how our government is set up. Many of you howl when there is a religious Christian politician running for office, but then you turn around and defend Islam. Don’t believe me? I do believe every time Ellen Craswell has been brought up in the past she was denigrated by the secular left. It gets tiring hearing many people attack Christianity when most people in this country would not dream of a religious based government. Most people put the country ahead of their religion in the U.S. That are elected. After every Islamic attack on domestic soil we hear our elected leaders caution the citizens against reprisals. Well you know what, we don’t want a war with Islam at all, but if they continue to wage war against Western Nations, you will see the electorate start to consider People like Trump. Regarding the original post. I don’t mind government working with institutions to try and help people. I do find it ironic that the”separation between church and state” is not being discussed. Which does lead me to say that a little bit of religious based ideas in Government may not be a bad thing. But too much hurts the Republic.

Rich…”most Christians”…don’t speak for everyone. The Old Testament exists…it can’t be ignored. And I shudder at the name Ellen Craswell. Religion needs to stay out of our government period ! Not up for discussion as to whether it should or shouldn’t be. What you believe is different than what I believe, and on and on…for me, mine has nothing to do with anyone else in the world, only in my heart. I wish it was that way for everyone. Ken didn’t say he blamed you for anything. He educatedly posted some quotes from both the old and the New Testament…at least he knows whereof he speaks.

JanS – I think you just summed up mrseattle’s original point far more succinctly without the vitriol. Religion absolutely needs to stay out of our government!…. So our city resources really shouldn’t go toward finding a solution to a “problem” that only exists because of adherents religious choices.

.

Further this “problem” isn’t even a real problem- Muslims can (& often do) simple disregard this tenet due to its impracticality in modern society..

.

I share mrseattle’s outrage, but for different reasons- this feels like a Mayor Murray straw-man problem he can “work on” to show he’s a skilled & sensitve leader, instead of focusing on the tedious, less feel good, but far more important issues of traffic, transit, growth & affordability – because he’s showing a woeful lack of skill in those areas.
