Video: Rand Paul Tells Christian Students 'Government Doesn't Make Us Virtuous'

“Government is best that governs least, so you have more freedom.”

In an engaging speech to 90 Christian students, Senator Rand Paul warned that federal government does little to help morality, but libertarianism goes hand in hand with the principles of faith.

Paul was speaking at the National Association of Evangelicals’ Christian Student Leadership Conference, which seeks to recruit and encourage young, evangelical students to serve in the government.

Paul warned, however, that the system of government on its own does not hold all the keys, far from it.

“Government’s not going to make us a virtuous society. I think that’s very important when we think about what we want from government and where we’re going,” said Paul.
