Ian I never liked that type of technicality being used to get around religious law. I think it is a cop out for a self described Orthodox Jew to hire a "Goy" to light the lamps on the Sabbath, likewise I would frown upon Iona getting you to stone people for her, where obviously, if she is a Christian in the real sense of the word she cannot do it herself.

Me, I am a "render unto Caesar" kind of guy. Let the democratic process determine the law and let duly appointed agents of the State render punishment.
