Everyone had better make sure that what they think is a position about the competence of "government" is not actually a position about the competence of human beings to exercise authority as such. If the latter slips in under cover of the former, you have proved too much and
@rdhasler The “government is incompetent to judge the good” argument quickly causes problems, making it hard not to conclude that “parents are incompetent to judge,” “elders are incompetent to judge,” etc. For Locke, it rests on dichotomizing authority and freedom, and we don’t want that!

This is where Neo-Calvinist political theology loses me. Rather than being a prudential application of C2K, disestablishment becomes a principled stance based on the redemptive-historical event of the Fall. Man being totally depraved, we simply can’t trust gov’t to recognize

Only jumping in to say that a lot is hanging on what you think the Founders meant by the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. I think KDY’s interpretation of the Founders as being concerned with the imperfectability of man is basically correct. But the conclusion
