Q

What was the class lesson taught in regards to the relationship between liberty and equality?

A

Liberty and Equality cannot be experienced together; they are OPPOSITE FORCES

b. As the equality of the condition of people rises, the liberty of people to whatever they want decreases due to having to conform to the rules that apply to all.

Your words are worship because they provide the following contrast:

The stubborn refusal to follow God or even acknowledge the existence of God and promote to others that living for oneself is the best way to live

46
