Biden is such a bad politician-he even messes up his own wickedness. He said marriage is about WHO you love. We know it is who or what you love. Psalm 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.
It certainly is an integralist state. Any state will be integralist, because governments naturally seek to displace God. Are there alternatives between libertarianism and integralism? If so, I imagine it involves lots of counterweights to the state..
Are you... secretly a member of the "Reformed Anarchism" Facebook group? Tell me now! :).
But right, that is the classic American answer - weak neutralish state, strong civil society. But I wonder if a detailed examination wouldn't find that even that, if it ever existed, existed only for a very short time. You're reminding me of a tour we did of the Missouri state capitol building, constructed in 1917, which you might guess would be near peak-neutral-state time... but explicit Biblical allusions are everywhere in that building.
We sure went from "tolerance" to "celebration" to "coercion" awfully fast. The slippery slope is real and we are tumbling down it right now. If the fall is not broken, pedophilia will be allowed.
The family is the bedrock of a strong society. The nation is an extended family. Both need to be destroyed for Globalization to occur, so it is no wonder that a furious assault on them is underway.
Technically, it is hard to imagine a more integralist state than us here in Germany. The state is collecting church taxes for the two big churches (Catholic and Protestant), and teaching of religion (separated by denomination) is mandatory in schools (even privileged in certain ways over other subjects). Yet, even if sometimes the state is intentional friend to Christianity, most of the time Christianity is intentional friend to the state.
When I read statements like Biden's tweet, I immediately think that the next step is going to be the replacement of "the person you love" by "the persons you love".
Leftist lunatics cannot engage in understanding or dialogue involving religious views and the impact on both individuals and society. Nor is it possible to use logical criticism with them due to their devotion to the occult to which they worship evil gods in total ignorance of spiritual reality.
Certainly a change I've made over the last few years is... realizing that there is just no point in saying "you're lying" to people who already know they're lying and don't care. Ergo my writing has moved away from trying to directly confront the bad people, which is usually pointless, and toward trying to say to the Church, "do you understand what is happening here?"

Statists hate competing and overriding allegiances, indeed.
Rush Limbaugh used to say this exact same thing.

Appreciate that perspective, thanks.
Yes - well said. Totally agree. Keep up the great work. God bless you in your contributions thru this site sight and in your educational career.
