    I think that most Christians don’t feel that they personally need the leash, but are so pessimistic about society that they think everybody else needs the leash.

      That’s not an unfair assumption though. I’m atheist and I agree that without laws and regulations people would tear each other apart over dumb shit

        Which is fine because we have laws and whatnot. It really isn’t even an opinion thing. The vast majority of human history we did not have anything even resembling a government and the data from dug up humans is clear. We are murder machines. No mammal kills members of its own species as much as humans do. Even in modern times the experiment has been run when places lost their police forces.
