You must remember that I spent a good portion of the WHMBR! Part 2 thread talking about and thus exposing the cult you formerly(?) identified with.
The fact that you talked about libertarianism doesn't mean you actually understand it. The fact that you call it a "cult" proves this much.
i.e. unless the Bible specifically speaks out against the sale and possession of heroin, it shouldn't be illegal.
Ever hear of the distinction between sin and crime?
Possession of heroin, and its sale, are certainly sins. But that doesn't mean that the civil government should ban it. There are other institutions in society, and self-government is a critically important aspect of freedom.
The civil government should use the sword specifically to punish those things which God said should be criminal, murder, theft, kidnapping, adultery, homosexuality, open blasphemy, etc.
Yes Jr., I've had numerous dealings with the nutcases Joel McDurmon and his father in law (who is a friend of nutcase Ron Paul) Gary North.
McDurmon and Gary North are both brilliant. Not perfect men, but nonetheless brilliant.
You should really watch McDurmon's debate against JD Hall. if you actually want to learn something, I'm willing to send.
When you next see your teacher at that community college you're attending
Actually, I attend Patrick Henry College.
ask him what the term "nucleus of society" means.
Yeah, because a secular person is totally going to understand that
Any half way intelligent person knows that the traditional family is the nucleus of a society and that economic growth either prospers or fails, depending on the strength of the family.
I'm not sure that weak families would necessarily reduce economic utility, but it doesn't matter because you are definitely right that weak families lead to a weak country in general. I'm not saying that its OK for a candidate to be bad on family issues. I'm saying that a canddiate being good on family issues doesn't automatically make them good.
Says the kid who stated in another thread that the Bible allows all consensual acts as long as children aren't involved?
No, that's not what I said. I don't think you're able to read. I'm not sure you're capable of grasping the nuance that changed my former position to my current one, so I'm not going to waste my energy. Anyone who actually wants to know what I did feel free to PM me, and I'd be happy to share.
I know that a lot of TOL'ers including myself will be more than happy to buy you a one way ticket to Iran so that you can "share the gospel" with those ever so tolerant barbarians. Just ask and you will receive the funds Jr.
I don't think God is calling me to risk my life in Iran at the present. That doesn't change the fact that the correct response to Islam is to preach and not to bomb. Again, your worldview is entirely built on force and you don't understand freedom or free markets.
Nor do I, and I understand your cult (nothing former about it) better than you do.
I've seen theonomists called everything from libertarian to extremely authoritarian. You could possibly say there's a sense I'm a libertarian. But, I reject the NAP.
For people other than you and Ron Paul to use. After all, drug pushers never use their own poison do they Jr.?
We don't sell it or condone it either.
Yet Daddy Paul voted to allow sodomites to openly serve in the military. The last time I checked Jr., the US military is a federally run agency.
This is a fair point, and I can't really justify this one. Ron Paul is wrong. Considering that the US government is currently an illegitimate and anti-Christian institution anyway, no Christian should be joining the military anyway, so its not exactly an issue I'm losing sleep over. It may well be incidental and accidental, but Ron Paul has the Christian position on over 95% of issues. Yes, his secularish brand of libertarianism occasionally leads him to take a bad position like this one, but I would still argue that Ron Paul would be a positive good for this country and not a lesser evil. I'm a bit more iffy and back and forth on Rand, considering his compromises on foreign policy and the whole "war is the health of the State" thing. If I vote for anyone in 2016 it will be Rand. Not joining the GOP.
Come on Jr., rpf must have a few that aren't heroin addicts or that aren't ready to drop from AIDS that can come debate me. If you're the best Daddy Paul can offer, they're a sadder bunch than I thought.
The only drug I've ever struggled with addiction to is caffeine, and I'm a virgin. Now stop being an idiot.
