Talk:Christian libertarianism

message: Now that this page has been edited by somebody other than myself, technically it looks like three others, I feel like it's been accepted by the "powers that be".  I did notice, however, that one of the edits appears to be a spam link.  I'm not exactly sure what the official guidelines are for a See Also section but it was my intention to put articles in there that were related to Christian libertarianism, with a couple of links to the main Christian and libertarian articles.  
It looks like somebody with an IP address thought that definition should be expanded to include all articles related to Christian political movements.  If that were the case I think the list would get somewhat lengthy.  They then put in a link to Christian Exodus which appears to be a fringe Christian Constitutionalist group.  I suspect it was spam oriented as the same user added the same link to another article on the same day.
For the record, I oppose the link because it is not a main article for Christianity or libertarianism and it does not appear to be a group espousing anything like Christian libertarianism.  I'll take it out for now and if anybody wants to argue for it, please explain why that link would rank above fifty or a hundred links to other Christian political groups.  Thanks,

thread_title:  General Discussion 

message: I'm curious now as to where the idea came from that Christian libertarianism is so closely aligned with Theonomy and Reconstructionism.  I'll try to get around to the references and read up.  Unfortunately, there is a shortage of official information on Christian libertarianism but in my experience, it's a small percentage of those labeled as Christian libertarians that come from the Theonomy camp.  It was certainly not my intention when I created the page that it would evolve into another Reconstructionism page.  I was mostly trying to establish the differences with the mainstream Anarchy groups, as is obvious from the opening paragraphs.  The Christian libertarian groups that I have known have always been very general and inclusive in their beliefs.  If anything, I'd say that Libertarian Christianity as described on the page by that name is, a subset of Christian libertarianism and not a separate camp.

thread_title:  Libertarian Christianity Distinction 

message: There have also been criticisms of Libertarianism from the point of view of the papal magisterium, notably in Libertas Praestantissimum, Rerum Novarum, Quadragesimo Anno and Centesimus Annus, and this should be noted at some point. ADM (talk) 19:51, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Papal magisterium

message: This article is HEAVILY slanted towards right wing Libertarianism, and more distinctly American libertarianism. This article completely ignores the historical roots of libertarian christianity and its relation to communalism and Christian Anarchism. It is written as if Christian Libertarianism is a sect of Christianity and not a political philosophy.  It also defines libertarianism as a philosophy that is strictly free market capitalist and completely ignores the historical foundations of the libertarian movement. This article also ignores many crucial elements of modern Christian-libertarian thought such as Liberation theology and Christian Anarchism. This article needs some serious work to bring it to a NPOV.  JP16103  04:46, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue might be that the article makes many, many assertions with an authoritative-sounding yet unsupported voice. The assertions are not given as part of the context of christian libertarianism (that is, while they appear on /this/ page, they are often stated as facts of a higher context), and there is an almost complete lack of references for any of them. This is more like reading a political tract than an encyclopedic entry.  Jyg (talk) 19:21, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

text: , I agree.  says  but that has become a fork for the same right-libertarianism. SILUFUND also writes  but it should be clarified that it is specifically about the American libertarian type. Davide King (talk) 21:12, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

message: I haven't looked hard but there clearly are a lot. This is a fairly recent history and links it to modern politics. Two other recent news sources:

replies: text: Oppose, but I think that we could have a summary in Christianity and politics#Ideologies, as has been done for Christian socialism and Christian anarchism. So, WP:SUMMARY. Klbrain (talk) 09:36, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
