As a man that grows weary of David French trying to flush the Church down the secular immorality toilet, let me just state simply that, as faithful Believers, we should not want the most liberties, or want protected the most liberties, but the most just liberties.
A classically liberal society doesn’t protect or represent the most liberties, as French seems to think. Anarchy actually presents the most liberties, but it is the most untenable and unjust system of all, if it can even rightly be called a system, as it is ruled entirely by hedonistic might-makes-right. Anarchy is pure chaos made barely-political, the most extreme sins given form in political individualism, the equal opposite of Knox-opposed tyranny, making the individual the governing tyrant instead of the corrupt body.
No, we don’t want unfettered Liberty, as man is wicked by nature. Rather, we want the most just liberties, liberties granted by God and protected by a just, appropriate, and faithful Romans 13 government.
Now, the debate to how we get there? That lies in righteous and rigorous ways, more righteous at least than French has tread in some time.
