“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” ― C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis, a great Christian, would agree with my post #123, imho.

However, it’s a great quote that you post, and a constant reminder of the line between those who truly would do good and those who would use anything, including helping others, as a ploy for the acquisition of power.

Governments, as opposed to individuals, have only two Godly purposes: promote the good of the people and punish those who threaten the safety and security of a free people.
