And yet, should not legislators work towards a better society in the context of Natural Law?

Absolutely not.

Legislators must work towards a Freer society so as to allow man to exist in the state of Freedom closest to the state God created us.

God created us with Free Will and laws cannot raise a man's heart to a better state. The absence of outward vice is not the same as inner virtue. How do you not know that?

An interesting theory. Then should laws against rape and murder be repealed? Out of curiosity, is the above your creation, or is it part of a creed or philosophy that you adhere to and can identify?
