People are complicated, it's difficult to make judgments.
-
...I know. I'm talking abt libertarianism as a personality trait & how this tallies w belief in an authoritarian god.
-
Its ok if you don't have any thoughts on that but nothing to do with whether religious ppl can be good ppl.They usually are
-
Well to me "good" includes being open minded and tolerant, a personality trait that I think is associated with libertarianism
-
Ok but this is a different point to the one I'm considering which is whether libertarianism is a personality trait.
-
And whether belief in a good God who punishes wrongthink suggests it isn't but specifically a political position
-
God obviously is not a libertarian cos he's neither open minded nor tolerant but some libertarians consider him good.
-
Previous conversation suggests they think of him more as a force of nature than a super-king whose ethics can be judged.

Most of my neighbours are warm, tolerant, and generous people who accept me and my atheist family, and do not make it an issue

A few have expressed concern for our souls, but soon saw that it is pointless, and we are friends, invited over, treated equal
