It’s hard to even pretend anymore that this is a free country. The fascists are in control of Bowling Green, Ohio.
If this was a free market, you wouldn’t need to talk to any government loser to see if you can give taxi rides. You would just do it. You wouldn’t need permits. You wouldn’t need to pay any fees. You’d be free to advertise and start giving rides.
What would happen if they just disobeyed? They could just start giving rides without government permission. I don’t know exactly what would happen, but it would involve armed police officers threatening you with violence or actually carrying out the violence. These “peace” officers for the most part probably claim to be Christian, and some of them may not be Christian just because they like Christmas, but because they have actually been born again.
Those Christian cops care more about man’s law than God’s law, and their church actually thinks they’re doing an admirable job. All of the evils in our land take place with the permission of the Christians, because we have abandoned God’s law or a surface-level interpretation of Romans 13.
Churches need to go back to God’s law, and start teaching it to people. Then, when a Christian officer enforces a preposterous law, he can be placed under church discipline.
Of course, police would be largely scaled back under God’s law and hopefully abolished. There were no police in early America or in ancient Israel.
