Every stereotype and criticism can be as easily applied to you, because you are criticizing an "excess" or a "hysteria" when you fall into the same straits of hysteria.

>the problem isn't one master vs. another, it's deflection bla bla bla
You aren't even a master in your own body. Who cares about this master talk, if we can never be free? You're just appealing to one's pride by speaking of masters, as if any one, even God, mastering you is despicable.

>you're trading this nanny world we have for a world of sex and violence
People don't want a world of sex and violence, nor do they want a nanny world. What they want is something in between, but we swing to one extreme when we get a taste of either.

Hello, fellow Redditor!
I noticed an issue with your post:

>No, most of the LARPers on here don't think that. That's why they're so afraid of saying it: because they don't.
You can't speak for the denizens of this board, you don't even know any of us, so why try to psychoanalyze? You're not that smart of clairvoyant.

>Since you're so well read, then explain it to us. You DO know, right?

>...Right?

Yeah if there is no God then all evil acts go unpunished therefore everything is permitted. "Permitted" just means unpunished. We are allowed to do evil even when God exists, but evil, unrepented of acts are punished

>God is evil because He punishes you for your sins!
>God is evil because He forgives your sins so easily!

Incorrect by virtue of all moralities being created by evolution, along with all such human behaviors. From an atheistic worldview, evolution created all moralities that humans tend to, but it cannot justify one morality over another because that would require us to place greater importance on one evolved trait over another (my wellbeing is more important than others' versus others' wellbeing is more important, versus both wellbeings are equally important). You could argue that the morality that ensures the most wellbeing and longevity is correct, but the fact that others don't agree shows that one can deviate and once again, your only justification would be that most people (who wield the majority of power) support it, not evolution.

>implying the law, governments, rulers, and armies aren't the ones doing the illegal, evil acts behind the scenes
Who's going to hold them accountable? We, the people? Don't make me laugh
