The purpose of freedom is to create it for others. — Bernard Malamud, The Fixer

Different people have different opinions. Christian Dominionist Gary North said the purpose of freedom is to deny it to others:

So let us be blunt about it: we must use the doctrine of religious liberty to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government. Then they will get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political and religious order which finally denies the religious liberty of the enemies of God.

I don’t even have to guess who gets to pick out the “enemies of God” in North’s ideal world.
