There are many things that I think are profoundly immoral and yet I would not criminalize them (like drug use). Likewise there are many laws that I feel are necessary (like many traffic laws and some building codes) that really have no moral component.
Yes, I have a pretty libertarian view on some things. If you're not hurting/endangering anyone else, I don't think the government needs to get involved. I think drug use and prostitution should be legal, despite how much I'm against those things. I just tell myself that us people of faith should answer to a higher law, regardless of what man's law is.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
