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.
Then is it a psychological *trait?* Valuing freedom & individualism & disliking authority?Ppl create gods who agree with them usually
Someone driven to seek freedom & individualism & reject authority cld believe an authoritarian god existed but be happy about it?
Well, God doesn't intervene actively for them. He gives you the rules and then scores you at the end.
Libertarians value picking the rules they want to follow, and following them without being told what to do by other people.
So in this case, the psychology works, because you have the liberty to follow the authority that you want without molestation.
Libertarians don't avoid playing sports because they don't want to follow rules, if that makes sense. They just want to pick.
I get that. You think they see gods like this? They can pick which one is real & then only that ones rules apply to them?
And having made that choice themselves, they can justify their god's decision to torture everyone who thinks differently?
I'm used to libertarians being against punishment of ppl who think differently, even ppl who think differently to them.
