Campus on lockdown for carrying an umbrella

Published under Civil Rights

God's Law

Under the Law of God, there is no standing army of trigger-happy, uniformed thugs, who have special legal rights to harass innocent people for any possible suspicion or imagination. The government gets involved only when a real crime has been committed and witnesses are brought in to testify. The safety of the society is left to the self-control and the vigilance of free men, armed to protect their communities.

Man's Law

Under the laws of man, it is the individual, free, innocent person who is always the “threat” to society, and he is always subject to harassment by the government’s professional army of thugs who eventually take in their hands everything, including official theft and instant executions without trial or verdict. In the final account, there is nothing an individual can do that won’t get him in trouble with the “authorities,” if they decide he is a “possible threat.”

    Wonderful site and I thank you very much for your ministry and your unapologetic conformity to the decrees of the Lord. My suggestion would be that, insomuch as we can, there would be proofs posted with regard to God’s law. The reason that I say this isn’t because I don’t agree, but because we already face enough detractors, that if we’re not entirely thorough in our handling of said truths–well… straw men will get the torch, if you know what I am saying.

    WONDERFUL site and an amazing resource, and I praise God for it. Bless you.

        Marissa,

        It would be helpful if you would substantiate your comment with specifics. What strawman do you see in this post?

      Ralph,

      We’ve been a bit slow updating the site for a while now. I’m hoping that will change this year. And yes, I agree that it would be helpful to add relevant Scripture references to the posts. Some do have them, but we need to be more diligent to add them to all posts.

      We appreciate the feedback!
