So, assuming there is some 'good' behind legislation, there must be some 'good', to someone, behind ObamaCare. But this 'good' appears to, in reality, ration health care for the sick and old and generally degrade the standard of living for most everyone.
How is this objectively good for anyone besides the evil men that make up the government and seek power over others?
It is because Christianity presumes the fallen nature of man that it benefits a nation.
I assume the "It" refers to Christianity. I agree that Christianity benefits a nation. So why do the religious right people ignore their responsibility to share Christ with others and instead seem to put their faith in government to fix everything? This is erroneous. I don't believe the government cares about helping people. I believe the government cares about power over people. It is foolish for anyone to look to government to solve certain things when it just empowers government and that power will be turned against those seeking to empower the government one day.
All government believes it can change people’s behavior. That is why there are penalties.
So you make doing antisocial behavior x more expensive. The criminal then moves on to antisocial behavior y. They are still broken and antisocial.
I'm saying that to really change someone's life, Christians need to stop looking to government to solve things because it is misdirected. They need obey the Great Commission.

You’re absolutely right! There’s never been a truer statement. But many libertarians want to tear down every law against sin. And many of them want to tax the new legalized sin which leads me to believe they’re not against government, they’re for sin.
