I want no part of the middle east.
I am concerned with my nation only.
Ok, I'll rephrase.
If some socialist mf, at power at the time, creates a law that gives them legal frame to kill you - execute you - it won't be a murder?
In America? The farther we move from natural law the less legitimate the magistrate becomes and the more likely God allows revolution.
State authority is illegitimate. If a state exists its only legitimate role is to enforce contracts and use force to stop individuals and groups from violating natural rights of individuals.
Anything it does outside of that is illegitimate.
Its not very good at the former and it does a lot of the latter.
No, that is murder- because under natural law an unfaithful woman cannot be condemned to death by men.
