What the Bible "says" is up for much interpretation and debate. Then there's the fact that one cannot even determine which translation is supposed to be "God's"
translation. Then there's the fact that different manuscripts have different wordings. Then there's the fact that the earliest manuscripts were written at least 100 years after Christ. Then there's the certainty that even those manuscripts have been altered...
Is this sufficient??

please advise. Sir. I BEG your forgiveness. where did I go wrong?Your order is your order and my order is my order. Where there is a conflict, we resolve it in any way we choose. If you threaten violence against me I respond in kind. If you offer a peaceful resolution we both prosper. It doesn't take long for people to realize that the violence is neither profitable nor safe...
would this have been more appropriate sir?

It is up for debate. I think most people will accept the "no rulers" definition though.
As to your concern about "self rule" being unfathomable for you, the only alternative to "self-rule" is "someone-else-rule" If you think that is "LIBERTY" you are confused. No one says self-rule is without problems but I'll take the problems of self-rule to the problems of tyranny any day...

"Americans" should ALL be forgiven. for struggling to discuss these subjects.
given the level of propaganda and lack of education that we have ALL been subjected to.
it is no wonder that civility is in short order.
I will count you Sir. as a gentleman among ruffians.
ode to the "State"...

Another mark of a tyrant is that he likes foreigners better than citizens, and lives with them and invites them to his table; for the one are enemies, but the Others enter into no rivalry with him. - Aristotle's Politics Book 5 Part 11
I don't know if most people who would subscribed to Libertarianism as religious. It is believed that without a religion to follow people just do as they please.
I think what is wrong with this is, the religion aspect can't be used to guide a nation. It is hard to create a society with a religion that isn't some kind of person upstairs. The founders themselves weren't perfect. Every culture and era has their problems.
The fact that christianity has so many different versions of it, and Islam and not forgetting Judiasm this isn't really the way to deal with the world. The UN human rights charter is a start, even that has a flaw. Overpopulation.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

It's all about Freedom
Sound like I found a fellow "Christian Anarchist"...
Many of the so-called "Church" do not feel that I'm even a "Christian" because my beliefs are so far from what they teach. About the only place our views cross is on the belief in a "Creator" and the sacrifice He made to redeem us. In fact, that's about all I believe in for certain. All other "teachings" I have doubts about and really don't spend much time trying to prove or disprove...

@Anti Federalist. Pretty sure you have found your "one star stalker."
Also, for the record for those that didn't go back and read his comment.
It was not directed at me, it was directed at JMDrake.
I'm used to it and expect it.
A start to what, exactly?
The charter, in a word, is crap. To wit: UN Declaration of Human Rights - The Preamble
This is a cursory analysis of the language of the charter, which is a sloppily cobbled raft of nonsense that seems good to some when taken with a complete lack of criticality. The most casual examination immediately reveals that it is written in dangerously inept fashion, almost certainly with intention.

There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.
It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.
Our words make us the ghosts that we are.
Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.

Can you list those for me? Its been too long since we've had a debate :P
it lays down a fundamental principle of God's justice. Preaching false religions should be punished by death by the civil authorities (yeah... I'm still here for some reason, mostly to talk religion LOL! )
What does Deuteronomy 13 have to do with the state outlawing another religion?

If this argument were true it would prove too much. Is excommunication now the proper penalty for murder too instead of civil punishment? In the minds of an ancient person incest would have been much as repulsive. I think its pretty clear that Paul is commanding the church to act as the church in its ecclesiastical sphere while living under a tyranny, not promoting the abolition of the State.

I guess you misunderstood (don't worry, it's a common malady). I said the texts are not perfect. I did not say they are useless. There is some "truth" in those texts and one must sort out what they believe is correct from what they believe is not correct. I'm sorry but there is NO perfect way to do this. I do not know if what I believe is "correct" any more than I know if what you believe is "correct". I am following my convictions based on what my spirit believes to be true (non-violence, God is love, etc). I do not care to run your life nor your beliefs. Peace be unto you and live long and prosper and all that stuff. This is about my "beliefs" and I'm more than happy to share them with you...
They are only "beliefs" and not laws. I do not intend to push them on anyone...
