The War against Chrisianity - and Christmas - L

With another Christmas season fast approaching I found this article by Congressman Ron Paul both timely and interesting. I agree with him wholeheartedly.

While I agree with him to an extent, I'm not sure why's he's blind to the fact that it's his own Libertarianism that is a major culprit.
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.

Apparently you don't understand libertarianism the same way I do. A libertarian believes every individual should have the LIBERTY to express and practice their religion freely, without interference from the government.

The Constitution does not mandate a separation between church and state - only that the state not promote one official religion. There's a big difference in freedom OF religion and freedom FROM religion. Ron Paul has it right in pointing out that the Constitution guarantees freedom OF religion.
