It is one to an existent in my opinion; we have something or someone we put above all. From every man does what is right in their own eyes, some leader, doctrine, God and so on. Where the rubber hits the road is when controlling authorities clash!
I don't want to bake that cake, why do I have to wear clothes, there was no traffic 90 mph should be okay, they wanted to have sex why should age matter, he did the crime kill him, and on and on!
So you follow the law of the land, the law that was created - in a healthy democracy that is - by the people, for the people. Yes, I can agree with that.
But of course that is not what poor Whodey meant when he uttered such phrases as
"Yes, people are sheep as the Bible says.
Lemmings is a less flattering term.
Choose your shepherd wisely."
And
"You have to worship something or someone.
It's just human nature.
We are all sheep in desperate search for a good shepherd."

You feel that, as your second choice is currently not possible, the only alternative is a "massive police state"?
Would you like this "massive police state" to "impose the civil society on us" by banning gay sex, for instance?
I reckon I'm used to this sort of crap.

Originally posted by @great-king-ratWell I am a self proclaimed sheep and not as enlightened as people like yourself.
It is of course the other way around, stoopid.
Many people - people oh, so, so, so very much smarter than you - understood that having an abortion is not an immoral act and as more people began to understand this (retards like yourself, of course, still are fumbling around in the dark) abortion in many places was made legal. The law followed a change in morality.
Originally posted by @whodeyYour reply had absolutely nothing to do with the question I asked.

Would you like this "massive police state" which you see as the alternative to a "godstate" to ban gay sex?

Meanwhile, a government like the US government passes well over 40,000 new regulations and laws a year.
Is society really that bad? Perhaps it is. Perhaps it is needed, but I don't like it just the same. Perhaps people really have become that bad.

As a society, we have two choices. We can either create a massive police state to impose the civil society on us, or we can have those who have freedom self enforce a moral code that maintains a civil society.

Originally posted by @great-king-ratHeavens no.
So are you asking for the same thing as "the children of Israel in 1 Samuel 8" from your Big Book of Fairy Tales?
Ever read Revelation?
That is how it is all suppose to end.
And yes, God will eventually rule and reign so no worries! 😵
