You can not divorce religious belief and public service. I've never detected any conflict between God's will and my political duty. If you violate one, you violate the other.

Divorce these days is a religious vow, as if the proper offspring of marriage.

My faith informs everything I think and do. It's part of my value system. And to suggest that I can somehow separate and divorce that from the rest of me is not possible.

But I think it's up to a local congregation to determine whether or not a marriage should be blessed of God. And it shouldn't be up to the government.

My own personal, moral, spiritual, religious, etc. beliefs don't oppose same-gender marriage.

I believe in the separation of church and state, but I do not believe in the separation of politics from religion.

You don't know how to love God and your neighbor unless you look to the law to define it.

Quite often you hear people say, 'What about separation of church and state?' There is no such thing.

Religious conflict can be the bloodiest and cruelest conflicts that turn people into fanatics.
