Why not adopt the mindset of a libertarian or a classical liberal who simply doesn't care what people do as long as they don't violate the rights of other people, right?

The words themselves sound good, but without a coherent and reliable enforcement mechanism, those words are hollow aphorisms.

Rights without an enforcement mechanism are meaningless.

You really do hate God that much?
