I found the above meme, and think it’s a great way to express the truth. We all know what an evil guy ol’ Darth is and that’s a famous line from the movie:

If one side of a contract or deal can alter the terms, then, the contract is just for show. The megalomaniac puts his gun on the table for all the honest world to feel, and it is revealed that there was never really any voluntary deal.

But government is every bit as megalomaniacal as Darth Vader. The city says, we will provide these services in exchange for these taxes. Maybe the initial parties agree, but then, down the road, the social contract can be changed. You just need 50.01% of the voters to agree, or maybe just your representatives, and everyone else will arbitrarily see their social contract changed, and they know what will happen if they don’t go along. At least Darth Vader makes it quick and relatively painless.

What’s the only solution to this? God’s laws is just and righteous. It won’t be changed, because any change will only take it from perfection to imperfection. This is called theonomy, and the only alternative to theonomy is autonomy (or man’s law).
