He is intelligent enough to conclude that natural law will not have its fully-intended effect with Jesus Christ as the Son of God, who was Resurrected. But it might get him one step closer to stating that he believes this as true.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-42353687912832184652022-11-15T13:09:41.922-08:002022-11-15T13:09:41.922-08:00This is a valuable point you raise.

With fewer institutions of governance, the monopolizer will gladly fill the void. bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-89726736864854142672022-11-15T13:08:13.813-08:002022-11-15T13:08:13.813-08:00YES!YES!bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-80331063845541666122022-11-14T15:00:38.754-08:002022-11-14T15:00:38.754-08:00"We are free to make the first move"
Re..."We are free to make the first move"<br /><br />Reminds me of a Bastiat quote that I love.<br /><br />"Society is composed of men, and every man is a FREE agent. Since man is free, he can choose; since he can choose, he can err; since he can err, he can suffer. I go further: He must err and he must suffer; for his starting point is ignorance, and in his ignorance he sees before him an infinite number of unknown roads, all of which save one lead to error.” - Bastiat<br /><br />I would only amend Bastiat's quote to say that only in a state of willful exclusion of all good tradition and true Revelation would man see an infinite number of unknown roads set before him. You have to look past the natural law tradition and the history of the Church. Hopefully Peterson will stop doing this soon for his own health and for the health of all those young men and women who look to him for guidance.A Texas Libertarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02980539931923054404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-10410736538323262782022-11-14T10:14:09.084-08:002022-11-14T10:14:09.084-08:00Consider the discussion of Matt Walsh with Joe Rog...Consider the discussion of Matt Walsh with Joe Rogan, as PVK has done. Marriage can be between any two people according to Joe, because "who does it hurt", not considering that it diminishes the institution which lives outside of any two people. Just as diminishing the definition of "woman" may not hurt any particular woman until it moves into the institutional layer and now you can have men beating women near to death in a "consensual" fight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-13195754766711974572022-11-14T08:41:02.290-08:002022-11-14T08:41:02.290-08:00I think that is basically it. Freedom to kill you...I think that is basically it. Freedom to kill yourself isn't all that valuable and doesn't result in freedom. Freedom to pursue beauty is valuable. I would even say life-giving.<br /><br />Natural rights teaches us how to identify wrong-doers and what to do with them. A good application of this is in The Ethics Of Liberty.<br /><br />https://thecrosssectionrmb.blogspot.com/2022/11/the-ethics-of-liberty-property-and.html<br /><br />But natural rights doesn't say what we SHOULD be doing. That is the place of natural law.RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603112499567064214noreply@blogger.com
