I'm talking abt the ones with authoritarian gods. Specifically, gods who punish those with different views with eternal Hell.
I don't think they think that tho. They really think the god is real & he's the only one & he's setting rules which apply to all.

But I suspect you are right & they do use this thinking. It just doesn't work if they are actually right.
-
If they actually got to heaven with same psychology as now & saw ppl being tortured for thoughtcrime, they'd see the problem.
-
Ideally, they'd probably want everyone's God to be real for them but can't say this coz their god has the 'One True God' rule.
-
I absolutely agree with that. And they almost take that attitude in life despite not thinking it's true.
-
They are VERY slippery on Hell, too. They will dodge at any cost, or try and make it seem more palatable, or avoid etc
-
Yes! That is why I am always surprised when I meet one who believes & justifies their god punishing thought-crime horribly!
-
But I do meet them quite a lot. I'm sure Haidt will make all clear for me!
