Sinners in the Hands of Libertarian Taskmasters

Imagine, hypothetically, that all sin is permitted, and that 100% of govt. is supported by sin taxes.  

As a result, people who don't sin don't pay any taxes. Nice deal, right? Maybe not.

Is it moral to have a policy that forces immoral people to assume the full costs of their immorality? Obviously yes. But is it moral to have a tax policy that forces immoral people to assume the full cost of everything? In my view the answer is 'no'.

I think it is also immoral to permit bad behavior generally. The Bible says that immorality is not a free choice but is rather a form of slavery. Do we want our country to be emancipated from this slavery or not? As such, this aspect of libertarianism does not produce liberty but rather its opposite: bondage.

Muslim Demographics. Call To Action

 

Implied by the film's "the call to action", here are a few strategies that ought to be implemented:

  1. Increase the fertility rate.   Convince Americans that it is a patriotic duty to have more babies. 
  2. Open our borders to self-supporting latinos and non-muslims from Europe, Africa and Asia.  
  3. Evangelize in the Muslim community.  Obviously, this call to action is for Christians.   
  4. De-secularize society.  Promote religious schools, religious hospitals, etc.  One thing that we know is NOT a good idea is to entice Muslims to be more like us (secular).  Muslims view secular as a weakness and it just encourages them.  
  5. Eliminate the welfare state as fast as possible so that the costs and responsibilities are carried by the individual and not by society generally. 
  6. Privatize everything. A truly capitalist society cannot be taken over by authoritarians.

How God conducts warfare... Numbers 10:35-36

The passage in Numbers concerns the carrying about of the Ark of the Covenant, which apparently was the cause of much fear among Israel's enemies. The point of having such a fearsome preemptive weapon was to avoid violence, not to create it. Specifically, passage says:

35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses said, 
"Rise up, O LORD! 
May your enemies be scattered; 
may your foes flee before you."

36 Whenever it came to rest, he said, 
"Return, O LORD, 
to the countless thousands of Israel."

What's especially interesting here is the prefigurement of Christ who at first Rises up to scatter God's enemies, and then afterwards Returns to His people.
