You believe in freedom as a principle, a fundamental human right, or you don’t. If you believe in it only for people that do what you approve of, you don’t really believe in it.

The idea, if you are a conservative, is that your rights are given to you by God, whose foundational standards define your rights.

It's not whether I approve of people's actions, but whether God approves of them. If the Bible states sodomy is an abomination, then why would I argue with Him to say he has the right? Lev 18:22 states we cannot even agree to allow sodomy in our land or the land will "vomit" us out. People are making up their own rights that are specifically denied from God. Children were murdered to please Molech. What was God's opinion of Molech? If drunkards will not see the Kingdom of Heaven, what will a Meth head get?

I watched the strangest thing a few days ago. Pelosi quoted the Bible about Jesus to make a point of why we should open our borders. This is the same lady from a place where men wear dresses and have anal sex in parades. She is responsible for million of dead babies and she wants to use the Bible for her reasoning. Just because a libertarian thinks he has the right to do something doesn't mean it lines up with Natural Law.

That's fine, but freedom is not limited to people that share your ideas about what God wants. That's not freedom.
