“Libertarianism is predicated as the Individual as supreme arbiter of their life, Socialism that life is subservient to the State.”
Good grief. You make my point and then repeat that I’m lying.
Both libertarianism and socialism hold that *man* is the supreme arbiter of human life. The fact that one holds that each individual is god, while the other holds that some arbitrary quorum of individuals is god, is a distinction without a difference.
“As for God... my God thinks your God should stick to impressing his desert rats in the Middle East and leave the rest of us alone. Where does that leave you?”
Shaking my head at the futility of trying to discuss an issue with a person who knows nothing of the subject, and wrinkling my nose at the odor of leftism.
Fine. Go for it. Libertarians are perfectly ok with you having your faith. A Socialist wouldn't be.
You have more in common with them for this reason. The individual must give up themselves because YOU say so. God may have laid down the Law, but MEN like you are the ones that pervert the execution of those laws.
