Let me cut to the chase here. It is impossible to found a society based on the idea of "liberty" or "fairness" or "justice" or whatever because everyone disagrees about what these ideas entail.

So we should base our society on God because we all agree there?

And because you can't appeal to God for authority, well then you have to appeal to force.

Explain, please how we appeal to God's authority. Who is to be the intermediary? How do we establish they're not just making stuff up?

And how do we distinguish Her view from all the other Gods? And, hey, that was my point!
