Those people don't see their gods as authoritarian in a "micro-manage" sort of way. Just a "here's a framework" way. Maybe?

I'm talking abt the ones with authoritarian gods. Specifically, gods who punish those with different views with eternal Hell.

These seem opposed to authoritarianism politically among humans but not psychologically or philosophically in any consistent way.

That's it, I think. Authoritarianism from humans = bad, from God = fine.

Exactly. This undermines my idea that libertarianism is primarily a character trait. A psychological thing.pic.twitter.com/XuafGBIYGf

I think it is a psychological trait. It just applies to social interactions, not "divine" ones. They are of a different nature.

Well, God doesn't intervene actively for them. He gives you the rules and then scores you at the end.

Yes, you will ultimately be rewarded or punished for whether you have thought the right things & followed the right rules.

I can see libertarians believing this to be true. I can't see them being happy with it. Unless its not a consistent personality trait
