Liberty

The first three paragraphs of the Libertarian Party Platform that was adopted in the national Convention on May, 2010.

"As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others.

We believe that respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world, that force and fraud must be banished from human relationships, and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized.

Consequently, we defend each person's right to engage in any activity that is peaceful and honest, and welcome the diversity that freedom brings. The world we seek to build is one where individuals are free to follow their own dreams in their own ways, without interference from government or any authoritarian power."-LP Platform

If every American lived by the words just above the USA would be a lot better off. This would be amazing to see. As a Christian there is one problem, people in general are sinful. Yes, we should teach our children about right and wrong but this can't last without the Truth. The Truth is that every human is a sinful creature. Parents don't need to teach there children how to behave bad they are already when the moment that they are born. That is why the Christian Church needs to show the love of Christ. I am sick and tired about how the normal Christian in America is not living up to his/her standard. We Christians need to live as Christ did. I myself do fall at times in my Christian walk. That is where grace from Christ comes in.

I called myself a Libertarian Christian. To be Libertarian Christian is to show God's love through the Church not through the Government. The Libertarian Christian ought to strive to get others to believe but not with force or intimidation. I don't want to use government to advance Christ's kingdom because Christ didn't want a governmental form of reign over the world.

Everyone needs to take a hard look at the Libertarian Platform and Christianity because there needs to be both. If the nation wants to ever to prosper every American needs to take a hard look at both Christianity and Libertarianism.
