During the Civil War, the Presbyterian church split over the question of slavery. It wasn’t reunited until the 1970's! How can one Christian find a biblical validation of slavery and one repudiate it at the same time? During WW2, the Germans were Christian. Somehow they found a way tie their cause to Christianity. I can’t think of anything more un-Christian.

Churches interpret the Bible in different ways. There is randomness in it. It’s just like determining “what’s fair?”. What’s fair for you might not be fair for me. The founders understood this. They knew they couldn’t make the judgements over what’s fair. What they did was recognize everyone has the same rights. Then they limited government’s ability to to infringe on those rights.

I would submit to anyone that if we got back to the core principles of Adam Smith, and brought government back to carrying out those core principles we would have a better society than we have today. Most of society’s ills can be solved through correct classical economic incentives.
