The ( #NaturalLaw ) #libertarian principle of non-aggression basically sums up the "second table" of the 10 commandments (at least #6-9).

That covers the negative aspect of the #law ("thou shalt not"), they are civil, and ought to be enforced coercively in some form by some entity. (Retributive #justice.)

There are positive requirements too ("thou shalt"), but these are generally moral, and in the realm of voluntarism and persuasion.

I do think the logical consequence of Christianity is a NL-based NAP, i.e., libertarianism...

...thoughts welcome, though.

I do find it interesting that the "thous" in the 10 commandments are in the singular. Methodological individualism embedded in the moral law? Hmmm
