Rothbard, pickle et al.

"There is no God."

If one gets that foundational premise wrong, one gets pretty much everything wrong.

If there is no God, there is no objective meaning to life.

If there is no God, there is no objective morality.

Fortunately, many/most atheists, including those of the anarchist/libertarian persuasion, have God's natural law written upon their hearts, whether they recognize Him as the source or not, and regardless whether they correctly discern it or not.

At least it does give them some semblance of a morality in conformity with the objective Truth, whom they reject.
