Subjective Morals and Societal Whims

[The Industrial Atheist]

From the comments of YahwehIsTheWay and of the disinterested InteresedUser that I read, I think I figured the underlying idea.

Namely, what these two guys seem to claim is that we human beings are vile fiends, worse even than cattle or dogs, who need to be leashed, bound, handcuffed, and probably a muzzle put on our mouths so that we wouldn't "get out there and rape, pillage, and kill everything that we see in front of us." The only way to avoid such evil that we are so eager and willing to do, we, the foul diabolical monstrosities that we are, must accept to be bound, handcuffed, leashed and enslaved by some priests / religious authorities and thus accept to relinquish our autonomy and become slaves of holiness. God is the only one who can suppress the abominable evil that lives inside us and which could erupt at any time. The only solution is to live like a slave, of course, where you have no will of your own, where you merely do what you're told, where you obey. If you're not a slave of God then you are a slave of wickedness, of Satan, right? Whatever you do you are always a slave. There is no such thing as a full-fledged human being, only a monster.

Talk about dehumanisation...

Really, if this is the world in which the two of them live, is there any point in debating over it?

Yahweh is the Way is a Poe, he's actually pretty funny sometimes.
