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.
Your faux moral high horse is much closer to the horse doo doo than you think. I was not making a moral statement at all, I was making a logical one when I said your premise was wrong. For you to say that it is splitting hairs to say that either government tells us how to live or people do, I guess means you think a statist society is the same as a free society. How pitiful.
Your statements factually are wrong and your logic is flawed. If it makes you feel better, I would say that morally your heart was in the right place but your brain failed to follow suit.
I do not need government to inform me morally and neither does God. I am sorry that you need a nanny spiritual leader in secular government. That is really pathetic.
