Is it still a moral choice on your part if someone puts a gun to your head and says "or else"? Not in any ones world but your twisted little fantasy world.

????????????Maybe for a Libertarian that could be a moral choice, but the founding fathers wrote about the ending of our freedoms here in America when Christianity was gone. In my world of Christian self-control (that the founders counted on) that would not be a moral choice, and thus my wants could not, and must not be satisfied by going down the road with my gun and taking from my neighbors. Not because of any other reason than the fact that I know in my heart it would be an evil action. I would have to wait and work hard to try and gain what I wanted. In this world we only have a few aberrants who break the rules of self control and take what they want at the point of a gun, but jail is the price to pay for this action.

Now in the world of Libertarianism where morals are not set and change from one person to the next, and refuse to think about the greater societal good only their wants (example the drug issue) who knows how long it would take for the society to get to that point. At some point in the future it could lead that far down the path to anarchy. That is until society has gone to far and a police state must step in to protect the weaker and emplace morals again.

Without our Christian founders we would not be enjoying freedoms and be such a unique country in this world. When we loose our Christian foundations and morals we will loose our freedoms as for-told by our founding fathers.
