“The Law And God” argues that reliance on law over moral conscience leads society away from personal accountability and true civility. It critiques the tendency to use laws to control others instead of self-correction, warning that this fosters manipulation, moral decay, and parasitic behaviour. The text asserts that true citizenship and civil society require individuals to achieve self-reliance and meet established standards, rather than simply adhering to legal technicalities. The chief requirement of a citizen is that he or she not impose the cost of their choices onto others, meaning society and future generations.
