Your premise is totally wrong. Politics does NOT answer the question “how shall we live.” It only answers the question of “how shalt government say we shall live.” Two totally different concepts. I pity those who cannot tell the difference.
You comments about the neutral body of knowledge actually work in favor of my argument, not those who I was responding to.
It only answers the question of “how shalt government say we shall live.”
Spirited: You are splitting hairs. Either government tells us how we shal live or people themselves do. Either way, politics is about morality. In fact, your accusation, “Your premise is totally wrong” is a moral judgement based on whatever serves as your moral barometer.
And so the question you need to answer is this: What is the source for your moral judgement? Is it God’s unchanging Moral Absolutes or is it yourself? If yourself, then your moral outrage at John Roberts as well as your moral judgement against me is nothing more than your personal opinion.
