      24. So what's really at stake? I think secular libs intuitively understand their Kantian outlook is being challenged by Pence's behavior.

      27. Everywhere we see examples of people (esp men) NOT acting like good Kantians, ignoring universal principles, acting on desires.

      28. The secular liberal response is invariably to implore the bad actors, "Act better! Do what's right!" And yes, wouldn't that be nice?

      32. What if morality requires social & cultural supports that limit individual freedom & that secular liberals are unwilling forgo?

      33. In that case, Pence's simple rules for marital living become an enormous challenge and provocation.

      34. He's called the liberal bluff. Like saying: "If you want to make marital fidelity more likely, you might need to accept less freedom."

          35. And that is simply an unacceptable proposition. Hence the anger, the mockery, the derision, the defensiveness.

          36. It's the response of someone who's been forced to confront possibility that all good things might not go together as easily as hoped.

          A biblical worldview: freedom can only be experienced when we accept servanthood to the one we are meant to serve.

          All are slaves to our desires. The "trick" is to desire the good, kind master- God more than the cruel masters- our heart's carnal desires.

          "...good, kind master-God..." That's a laughable assertion. Have you read the bible at all?

          Rules for social conduct are no one else's business. But workplace is wrong. Especially since he is a person in power.

          I disagree. If men consider women as equals in the workplace, they will not look at them merely as temptation to stray from their marriage.

          It's not a matter of "merely." I doubt many think of women "merely" as temptations. But they may be, by nature, *always partly* a temptation
