Your Amish example isn't a conflict between personal freedom and economic security. Plus, since that lifestyle is part of a legalistic biblical interpretation, I would argue that their freedom is being limited significantly.
ReplyDeleteSure it is. Collectively, they pool their efforts to take care of one another. I guarantee you, if you were Amish, and there were a barn raising within your church district, and you were able-bodied, you wouldn't even think of not showing up. And do a little reading up on why old order Amish don't buy insurance, and are legally permitted to opt out of Social Security. All of those are community decisions to protect everyone in the group from economic hardship at the price of individual freedom.
