Here I discuss theology and national events from a distinctly Reformed Christian and conservative Libertarian political perspective. I believe the best government is the least amount of government. I believe the State exists along the narrow function of protection against force, theft, fraud, enforcement of contracts and so on. Any more of an extensive state will violate persons’ rights and is hence unwarranted.

The Glory of Autonomy
I am a Christian and I believe we need each other in the body of Christ. I believe in the "life together" concept of inter-Trinitarian relationships. They are vital in Christianity. No person is an island unto themselves. There is no "lone ranger" Christians. However, in the realm of politics, I believe in the importance of human autonomy. You do not need the State or anyone else to make important life decisions for you. We need to cultivate a skeptical attitude towards the State's ability to meet our basic needs. We need to free ourselves from dependence upon the State and cultivate self-determination in our lives. Live free and die hard.
