Alabama justice's ties with far-right Christian movement raise concern

From the article:
"by taking control of seven areas of society:"

There it is! Some people insisting they have the right to "take control" of other people.

I prefer personal liberty.

3.) Religious Perspectives on War :

Christian, Muslim, and Jewish Attitudes Toward Force
Thursday, August 1, 2002

If, when, why, and how to fight a war? In the case of the Gulf War, that debate encompassed three faiths–Christianity, Islam, and Judaism–and the debate has acquired new dimensions in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks and the war on terrorism.

In this volume, Jews, Muslims, and Christians with very diverse views address such issues as the just war doctrine, explaining their differences and finding often surprising common ground.

This new edition reprints the full text of the first edition. A new preface describes the differences and similarities between the Gulf War and the war against al Qaeda/Taliban. Also included is an introduction explaining the just war doctrine, a glossary of terms, and an expanded and updated "Suggestions for Further Reading."

* As conventionally taught, contemporary just-war theory seeks to ensure the political independence and territorial sovereignty of nation-states by insisting that the only just wars are those waged in defense of either one's own state or a third party that has been subjected to attack from without. Religious crusades and wars of national aggrandizement are, on this view, equally criminal.' The sole legitimate purpose of war is to secure a better peace than that which existed prior to war by ensuring the conditions of national inde-pendence.? While the purpose of just wars is to protect human rights, the fundamental importance of the right to collective self-determination means that wars must not attempt to remake the world order if that undermines the twin state rights of independence and sovereignty.}

* However, in recent decades, a set of cosmopolitan alternatives to the traditional theory have emerged that have in common the conceptualization of just wars as those fought in protection of "socially basic" human rights, including security rights against one's government. This monograph provides an overview and analysis of these developments, showing them to provide a radical challenge to the theory and practice of contemporary warfare by calling into question the legitimacy of the nation-state and suggesting the need to strengthen international institutions.
