In rereading this
>>I don't know why these people don't see that by each person depending on his/her own mind, we wind up with skin lampshades, cattle cars full of Jews, and extermination camps.<<
Each of us depending on his/her own mind to determine what track in life we should follow. We are constantly making changes of a few degrees one way or the other. Occasionally, we will do a complete 180 when we see we have been following the wrong track.
This is what personal liberty and freedom is all about. We have the choice to decide for ourselves which track to follow.
The last thing I want is for a religious leader to demand that I follow his chosen track. I refuse to live in a dictatorship.
If some one in power wants me to make skin lampshades for him, I'll do my utmost to annihilate him, not honor him. But this is my choice. I have seen the beauty of personal liberty and freedom and refuse to allow it to be taken from me.
I can see that you haven't thought this out clearly.
Maybe you're rather young. Determining one's track in life has nothing to do with the moral absolutes I listed above. Nothing at all. Unless one's track in life consists of engaging in murder, rape, theft, embezzelment, lying, and so on.
You are equating theocracy with a government informed by non-sectarian moral absolutes. The two are wholely different. There are other choices than dictatorship and anarchy.
