There is space in Christian tradition for a certain kind of libertarian argument (e.g. attempting to seriously enforce a ban on, say, masturbation would require a tyrannical surveillance state that would be more evil than the problem it was created to solve).

What there isn’t room for is a fully libertarian worldview that regards as illegitimate any law not based on the Non-Aggression Principle. If we give up on natural law as a basis for human law, we’ve given up the whole game.

Christians should not use the state to “force people to live like Christians” in the sense of compelling people to attend church or face jail time. But Christians should want the state to outlaw gay marriage for the same reason they want it to outlaw murder: natural law.

@hemingquay I'll take natural law
