Domain Query: Christian Libertoonianism

Reader JohnC911 asked an interesting question in relation to the Scripture that I posted up on Sunday regarding the compatibility of Christianity and libertarianism:

Is it possible for a Christian Libertarian society to exist if they chose to put Jesus as their King? and could it last?

In my view the only reasonable answer to this question is: "Not possible and not for more than about 3 generations, on average".

The first part of that answer has to do with the fundamental incompatibility between the libertarian ethic of individual as sovereign and the Christian ethic of God as sovereign. The second part of that answer has to do with the evidence on hand, which shows that every attempt to setup a Christian republic where people are left more or less free to live their lives in peace, has always ended quite badly, because of the fact that we are a flawed and broken creation.
