The truth always turns unbelievers away...they hate it. The founders, even though they had some decent principles, weren't particular good religionists and/or Christians. And I don't believe in a theocracy as you understand it, for instance the mulahs of Iran. If you think the sodomites are just going to be swell upstanding live and let live citizens, I got a bridge in NY I want to sell you. I don't have a problem at all with shrinking the gov't since I believe in limited sovereignty concerning the magistrate. But in my world view magistrates are held accountable to God and to His law...that's Christian and that's where I stand even if alone. Libertarianism is amoral from my point of view.
Don't believe in libertarian free will, it's a fiction. I'll ask again, has God given you the right to sin? And the scripture concerning Caesar is one of the most misused scriptures ever. Let me put it in a modern context...same principle applied...render unto Hitler what is Hitler's. Do you agree with that?
I believe there are many good and useful things in the constitution and I believe that there are things very bad. Starting with we the people as the ultimate authority. Plain and simple, for a people that was exposed to the gospel as much as the Europeans and later the American were the founders showed quite conclusive who they thought sat of the throne of the universe.
Welp, this thread is a dumpster fire. Thanks guys. LOL.
No seriously, I ask everyone to help come up with tactics for ways for small-government liberty culture to win more support, and we all start squabbling over religion, which is one of the exact problems that turns people away from the right. It’s like a micro version of our problems on the national level, haha. We can’t put our swords down and agree with each other on much. There is no We, it seems. We’re all just here because we like guns, as Tom put it.
