The secret of Second Reality is that its denizens really do believe that they have the power to establish "laws" that are binding on everyone, regardless of whether "everyone" (or anyone) likes it or not. We call this: Compulsion. Coersion, Tyranny.

There's something else about the 2nd Reality - self-centeredness. The attack on God and morals is an attack on any authority except the self. It is the replacement of morals by the Machiavellian principle of 'the ends justifies the means'. Another variation of it is the Clintonian principle of 'if you can get away with it, it's not a crime'.

Yep, that's what it all seems to boil down to, gore3000. It is a quite futile attempt at self-divinization....
