Christians, and others, should be able to show why laws concerning morals affect society by disrupting order or they should learn tolerance for differing moral standards. They, after all, remain free to set their own moral standards as high as they wish without interference from government. The greatest danger to liberty lurks in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.
