In any case, Christianity held up to all the conditions I had wanted, where the religions had failed.  The Bible contained further scientific evidence that I had not even heard about before, but I guess that’s understandable.  ''Darwinism Under the Microscope'' was five-years old when I first read it.

Some may think of the government's officials for that, such as congressmen, senators, judges and the president.  They, however, obey, or should obey, the Constitution.  Some would say that they are under the fallacious claim that the Constitution is open to interpretation.  It is no more swayed by the whims of society than the Bible.  It's to say that, if you told me you did not like blackberries, my interpretation that you are a racist holds more value than your own intentions behind it, that you don't like the plant or the food it produces.  The Forefathers were profuse writers and one had only go searching to find their opinions on such matters.

The Lord says that He placed the power of the government into their hands (Acts 17:26), so their laws are lawful unto their people, even if it isn't to Christ. He gave them power over our flesh, but not the spirit, since no man has power over the latter (Mat 22:21).

As soon as that is put to rest, someone might immediately claim that it is impractical, impossible to achieve, or that the human race's has progressed far beyond the need for such.  The belief that obeying the Founding Fathers' political standing as detrimental can be easily explained, depending on the various subjects.  The belief that such changes will never happen is more based upon opinion, and sometimes pessimism, rather than mathematical reasoning.  To the last, do you think that eighteenth-century New Yorkers would just walk by a dying man on the street, like the recent event?  Maybe they are talking about technology, not morality.  Technology may have advanced, but the human brain's capacity for knowledge has not, especially the general population.

After all that, I would qualify myself as a paleoconservative, paleolibertarian or somewhere between them.  The two parties that most support those are the [[Constitution Party]] and the [[Boston Tea Party]], though I prefer the first because it gives due credit to the Lord.  The laws of the land don't conquer the Word of God, but rather should be in compliance.  The laws that a Christian has reason for overthrowing should be if it says not to praise the Lord.  Considering that the Constitution is the law of the land for American Christians and it does not contain that law against Christianity, they should also defend it and that is the only other reason for revolution.

Before, I would have said the Constitution.  In fact here was my argument for it...

He appointed those men of the government over our parents and spouse, so they must also obey the government, as we should, second to God (Exo 18:21). The parents have secondary physical power, and we are to obey them after the Lord and government, unless we become married, in which case it is our spouse we must obey before the parents (Gen 2:24).
