You missed my point entirely...your philosophy is no different from that “statism” you hate. The end result will be the same because man is flawed and his reasoning is therefore flawed. All through history tyrants have cited “good reason” for their tyranny. Without accepting God as the authority...he truly is the only worthy authority...there is no morality...only man’s will and all his arrogance to guide.
Apologies. I glossed over the God factor since I don’t consider faith and morality exclusive to libertarianism*. This point is underscored by the 1st Amendment; Congress shall make no law... Certainly the 1st Amendment is not declaring that God shall be ignored. It is, however, limiting the extent govt can have over one’s religious activity. That’s a libertarian position, as is the 2nd Amendment.
The Constitution and Christianity are perfectly compatible. What has become of the govt is a different matter. The evolving policy is increasingly Leftist and increasingly statist. I’d prefer a smaller govt that is more Conservative and more libertarian. This shouldn’t be controversial.
* This has nothing to do with the Libertarian Party platform.
