What does an ideal government look like?
 * Antonia Fritz theory of Theocracy: federal us government is basically libertarian, but all members must be Christian. State governments can be more what they want, but a full Christian state gov would have additional laws and things we haven't talked about.
 * Nathan Tonkinson thinks pure libertarian, except the boundary of which of Gods principles to enforce and which not is odd. Actually it's all odd, but I know it's better than what we have now. Maybe it should act like a Christian would if they were hired as a bodyguard?

What role should government play in our lives as Christians?
 * Jesus' disciples (and Jews in general) thought he would establish a state, but he did not. John 18:36
 * Give to Caesar what is Caesar's
 * Ecclesiastes, or elsewhere I think says governments have been set up by God to punish those who do evil.
