Posting & Commenting Guidelines

(updated December 2020)

Read this document before posting or commenting.

This group is for thoughtful discussion and sharing information about a Reformed view of libertarian politics and free market economics, and their relation to a Reformed worldview, philosophy, theology, and other topics.
See here for more on Reformed libertarianism: https://reformedlibertarianism.blogspot.com/p/what-is-reformed-libertarianism.html

While primarily intended for those who are confessionally Reformed (affirming a historical Reformed confession, such as WCF, BC, 2HC, LBC, SD, or others) and libertarian (affirming self-ownership and the non-aggression principle), those who are interested in learning more about Reformed libertarianism are also welcome.
If you're committed to this group's stated purpose (above), then this group is for you.
See here for more on general libertarianism: https://mises.org/library/what-libertarianism

To facilitate the stated purpose of the group:

1. Before you ask a question:
check the group search function to see how it may have been asked and answered already.

2. Keep it grown-up, friendly, and Christian.
No personal insults of any kind are permitted. Disagreement and counter-argument must be expressed Christianly and politely. Communicate only in a way that builds-up those you address. No profanity or vulgarity. No libel/slander.
See here for info on effective discussion: https://reformedlibertarianism.blogspot.com/2020/01/effective-discussion-principles.html.

3. Keep it relevant to our purpose.
When posting a link (article or audio/video) you must provide either your thoughtful opinion on the piece, or a statement/question about it relevant to Reformed libertarianism.
No 'bare' links.
No memes.
No spamming, trolling, ads, or mere 'joke' posts.
No 'hogging'; be selective and generally do not exceed one post per day.

4. Keep it private.

    a. views contrary to doctrines common to the Reformed confessions. (Also, no pictures of Jesus/God)

    c. theonomy, theocracy, or establishmentarianism
    d. neonomianism, ‘New Perspective’, Federal Vision, or similar teachings rejected by confessional Reformed churches

    f.
feminism
(society is based on male oppression of females, and/or all sex/gender differences are illusory)
.
