It's interesting that your only objection seems to be the characterization of people being in favor of "small/limited" government. At least though you've tied elimination of interest-based loans as a government policy to Christianity. I'd like to say you're showing yourself to be reformable in regard to admitting to your Christian nationalism, but you're merely using Scripture to bash people.

But I remain curious why someone who claims to be a Christian would be so hostile to the idea of the government recognizing and observing certain Christian principles in accordance with scripture.

Maybe "forces" is the wrong word --- but I think you get what I'm saying.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

You'll want to look elsewhere for your drive-bys.
