Your reasoning is flawed. It implies the possibility that our gov't can function as a morals neutral entity. If so, then tell me what guides the reasoning of this morally 'neutral' entity?
You've still not responded to the question I asked you in post #44.
So how about it?
"Your reasoning is flawed. It implies the possibility that our gov't can function as a morals neutral entity. If so, then tell me what guides the reasoning of this morally 'neutral' entity?"
Tell us the source of the 'morality' our morals neutral gov't should use. Or are you one of those who believe it's possible to make morals-neutral judgements? And if so, then give me an example of this by telling me what your reasoning is in regards to abortion.
The proper role of government in a free society is the protection of the rights of the citizenry.
