But just for fun, I took this test again as “Levitical Israel” according to the Law of Moses.
Questions 1-30
Levitical Israel had no Post Office, Public Welfare (private welfare was commanded but without legal penalty) Military Draft, etc.
Questions 30-50
Levitical Israel had no real Laws or Public Financing for any of this stuff.
Question 50 was a toughie because I believe that the Israelites were not, after the Total Wars to secure Israel, to intentionally kill civilians in defensive wars (the only kind they were allowed once Israel was secured)… but, I figured, if Samson was willing burn down the Philistine’s crop-fields -- he was willing to accept collateral damage to any enemy workers in the fields.
Questions 51-64
And so, “Levitical Israel” according to the Law of Moses scored -- an impressive 119
I think that even a lot of Conservatives would be shocked at how Libertarian was the Law of Moses for Levitical Israel (not counting commandments without legal penalties as "laws"; as mentioned above, Private Charity was commanded -- but without any Legal Penalty for being a Scrooge, I didn't count it as a "law" in the modern Punitive sense).
But the truth of the matter is -- aside from stoning for sodomites or beastophiles and the like, or Judicial execution or recompense for obvious Civil Harms, the average citizen would have virtually no contact with any "State" in any sense.
Which is why Levitical Israel scored so high on this test! (And which is why, when God warned Israel "If you appoint a King, he'll take a tenth of your stuff, it was actually intended as a curse! [versus the State's modern takings of....?])
Grist for the mill.... IMHO, you can't go back again. Nowadays, in modern Non-Levitical USA, I do favor a modest standing military to defend the borders and so forth and taxes enough to pay for it, so I'm down at 98.
