  • The government shouldn’t legislate morality. Because the question becomes who’s morality are they legislating? Christians? Muslims? Atheists? Conservatives? Liberals? The role of government should be to step in and ensure individual rights are protected. Not to enforce some arbitrary sense of morality. That means they have no say over the day to day beliefs and morals of the population. The guiding principle of society should be “my right to swing my fist ends at your nose”. Governments should only step in when one individual violates the rights of another individual.
