Your epistemology is that the Big Floating Head tells you how to run your life.

Fine. Go for it. Libertarians are perfectly ok with you having your faith. A Socialist wouldn't be.

You have more in common with them for this reason. The individual must give up themselves because YOU say so. God may have laid down the Law, but MEN like you are the ones that pervert the execution of those laws.

“The individual must give up themselves because YOU say so.”

So, umm...I wrote the Bible? Is that your point? Trying to write it off as just one man’s opinion is merely the excuse you use to justify ignoring God’s law.

“God may have laid down the Law”

God explained some things about right and wrong, analogously to the way a physicist might explain physical laws. Rather than laying down the law, this is more in the nature of trying to tell us what is harmful and what is beneficial.

“Libertarians are perfectly ok with you having your faith.”

No, actually, it’s easy to see that you are not “fine” with it.
