I haven’t understood the argument.
Is it that Christians ought to have no moral rules ( a position sometimes popular and characterised as “situationism”)?
Or is it that Christian moral rules ought to have no connexion with state laws?
Does that mean that there ought to be no state laws at all? Or that all laws of all states are equally valid? Or that state laws ought to be determined by a procedure in which everyone shall have its say, except Christians?
Or what?
