Darwin Won't Do

Dr. Richard A. Jones / American Vision:
The topic of libertarianism popped up twice recently, both items serving as an invaluable even though slightly complex reminder of the causative role that restricted-vision families too often play in the U.S.’s cultural tailspin. As a handy review, libertarianism is a “self-interest-and free-will centered political philosophy maintaining that all persons are the absolute owners of their own lives and should be free to do whatever they wish with their persons and property provided they allow others the same liberty. A Jeffersonian-linked precept is that governments must be severely limited.” Interestingly, there are Christians who feel that many aspects of libertarianism are in harmony with Scripture even while recognizing that libertarian and “libertine” are not necessarily synonyms!
