You have a single reference to Hobbes in your profile, as a side note, and on a subject that is peripheral to the work you claim to have read. In addition, the assertion on your profile page with regards to morals is about as anti-Hobbes as it gets. (Bonus points if you can actually describe what Hobbes said about morals.)

Put up or shut up time... on what with regards to Leviathan is anything I said false?

You're probably a defensive Catholic who doesn't like Hobbes. I don't say I agree with his materialist or egoist opinions, but they are quite instructive about human nature and the Bible (Ayn Rand gets much of her philosophy directly from Hobbes).

I'm not interested in a pissing contest over Hobbes. I just know liberals and a lot of people hated him just for what he wrote...
