Look, the idea of a theistic, unalterable celestial dictatorship may comfort some, but in no way is it parallel with freedom and self-determination.
Murder and rape are wrong because the boss says so.
How crude.
That’s how our society functions notwithstanding. How does this become “crude”?
Never mind the lack of definition for “freedom” and “self-determination” in this context. Do they mean “license” and “self-aggrandizement” respectively here? or something else?
Some things just don’t fly when you add a little intuitive wisdom.
Saying God is the source of hate is a good example.
The worst way to seek comfort is when a man wants to be his own boss. This is the source of atheistic thinking.
