I think the point is that the christian doctrine of free will points strongly toward a libertarian political base. Humans should be free to chose error or virtue.

A Christian or American that votes for a politician who believes that abortion and gay marriage are rights, is deeply confused.

To walk out of church and then vote against the conservative to represent you in government, and instead vote for the pro-abortion/proporn/progay marriage/etc libertarian to represent you and decide American law and culture and society, is absurd.

I would rather be religious in traditional America, under a social conservative government, pre-1960s, before we became so libertarian.

Would you rather live in a country where abortion is legal, 10% of the population uses marijuana, people engage in all kinds of bizarre sexual behavior and the government seeks to control every aspect of your lives backed by 17 trillion in Chinese debt or live in a country where abortion is legal, 10% of the population uses marijuana, people engage in all kinds of bizarre sexual behavior and the government largely leaves you alone and runs on a small balanced budget?

If you honestly believe you can, at this point eliminate abortion, either legal or illegal and eliminate drug use, legal or illegal and eliminate non-heterosexual behavior, legal or illegal, you have formed your opinion in lieu of the obvious experience of the last forty years.

I wish no one used drugs, killed babies or missed the joys of traditional marriage but the world does not bend to my wishes often.
