But without Christ, all moral beliefs ultimately boil down to the one sin which perpetually rails against the concept of grace: man's lawful, religious, and futile attempt at establishing his own righteousness.”

That's the issue to me. The economic issue comes in only for explaining why it has those effects. But the economic reasons are not the reasons.”

People should be able to be what they want to be and do what they want - as long as they're not harming other people. I am a libertarian.”
