"Paul said to obey the govt regardless (I have yet to see an exception), and Christians/Freepers point to those verses to try to get us to obey the govt when it is doing what they want."

Not what we want, sendtoscott, but what we believe God wants.

That's the difference between libertarians and Christians: one group believes that God is in control of their lives and submit to Him and His appointed instruments of guidance. The other rejects a higher Moral Authority and His instruments, instead following the crooked and slippery path of a subjective morality that changes from moment to moment and depends upon the selfish definition of what they deem as "rights" and "freedom."

Govt morality is as subjective as any other. Govt agents are as immoral and self-serving as any other humans. I don't buy "oral sex isn't sex" just because God's Appointed Moral Authority said so during the impeachment mess.
