Ever see a Libertarian discuss religion? Very rude. Very loud. No nuance. No real discussion. Just shouting down the other person because they're stupid and moralistic and evil and don't worship the flying spaghetti monster. Ridicule. Scorn. Derision.

Sure, it's not government via the end of a gun. It's not bureaucracy. It's not a legal/paperwork/coercive environment -- 'cause Libertarians don't believe in that stuff, right?

But I am convicned that Libertarians are incapable of existing in a truly civil (polite) society. Because they have a severe dislike for anyone who thinks differently than they do.

I say this based on 40 years experience dealing with Libertarians. I believe my lying eyes.

Leftists and Liberals flying under the banner of libertarianism.

Libertarians [...] are very interested in powering over other people to get what they want.

Like f'rinstance how?

Let's say you're right about the incivility of libertarians. Does that make them wrong about limited government?

“Ever see a Libertarian discuss religion?”

Yes.

“Very rude. Very loud. No nuance. No real discussion. Just shouting down the other person because they’re stupid and moralistic and evil and don’t worship the flying spaghetti monster. Ridicule. Scorn. Derision.”

No.

Anecdotal stories of your ‘vast’ experience with libertarians mean nothing. Just out of curiosity, how many actual individuals are we discussing here?

Here’s a hint: there are plenty of libertarians who aren’t atheists.
