RE: Government = Evil (No Joke)

Are "good people" justified in inflicting their superstition on all, at the point of a gun? Does their faith in the initiation of force by an elite give them the right to violate the rights of those who do not share their belief? Can the "good people" still call themselves "good" in so doing?

They would claim they are in the right because they are creating "the common good", if not the good of individuals. I would argue that no collective good can come from violating the rights of individuals, because it is individuals that make up the collective.

I would leave the people who see themselves as rulers or ruled to themselves, but they will not leave me in peace. And that is wrong. That makes them immoral, not good, despite their self deception of the contrary.
