	While I don't agree with Aaron that there isn't any evidence, I would 
argue that the Deuteronomy passage certainly does not provide a reason 
for our *civil*government* to have a specific policy. It is only for 
those in the Mosaic covenant, arguably. Now, of course, Paul provides 
arguments on this subject too, so New Covenant members are also 
restricted, but none of this applies to a non-believer.

	This is a difference between the realm of nature and the realm of 
Grace. For the church's purposes, we are better off if we don't insist 
on those outside of the realm of Grace to follow the respective 
covenant.
