Quote 1393

Bad city fathers--judges, senators, mayors, and presidents--have caused many to turn to the political philosophy of libertarianism, the doctrine that the less authority the government has, the better. There are similar positions held by many with respect to the home and church. Since they've experienced and seen men use their authority to the destruction of those under their authority, they oppose all authority. Women abused by their dads marry weak men. Christians who have been members of a church where the pastor or elders were destructive join churches where the pastor and elders do not exercise authority. Such men and women need to learn a basic truth that's appropriate to remember everywhere in life: the abuse of a thing does not invalidate its proper use.
