Does moral relativism mean that to be truly free, we must be free from our cultural-religious bias? Must we be free from our 'conscience' so we can think outside of the box. Lets think about that carefully. I don't have a problem with questioning the reality we've been sold so to speak, but this has serious implications.
Skepticism is healthy but does this not border on insanity? Does our conscious originate with man, or is it transcendant and divine in origin?
Imagine the unlimited possibilities, unlimited by 'conscience', which is nothing more than that lingering sense that 'this isn't right'. Let's free ourselves from that bias. Just let it go and, "Imagine there's no heaven". Think of all the possibilities of human endeavor that we could experience the restrictions of conscious. That nagging little voice that bogs us down. No more conflict between your heart and head. No more bias. "No more hang-ups man!”
No more of those restrictions that have kept humanity from doing such great things as indiscriminately raping, torturing, and slowly murdering each other in manners that have yet to be explored and enjoyed, piece, by, piece. Just imagine the possibilities. They're limitless! Most have only flirted in their youth, with the real freedom that waits for all over the hill of true open-mindedness. (By the way, ask me to show you a person with an open mind, and I'll show you a person in a maximum security penitentiary enjoying solitary confinement! Hi Charlie manson...) Imagine the glory! That unseen potential we've never allowed ourselves to experience. What could be calling us? What have we been restricted from learning because of that dog-gone little voice?
"Have another hit man, and be free from that prison".
I know what's calling us, and these questions make it pretty clear in my mind. Pure adulterated Evil! Why this step by step approach, how about just taking this all to a point in its logical extension. How about participating in an open-minded concoction of Ecstasy and LSD while engaged in a necro-beastial orgy, on a judges bench, during court proceedings that will argue the irrelevance of the U.S. constitution, on the basis that it is discriminatory because of it's foundations in the teachings of Christ, and it's condemnation of the desires of the 'free spirit'. "Whoa man, now that’s freedom!"
Is that what freedom is? I contend that it is those ideas leads to more imprisonment by the consequences of lawless action. I further contend that real freedom has been lost long ago, and it is the real freedom from this 'sin manifested reality' we now live in. That freedom is 'real' and secured by obeying the divine and natural laws of our creator, be it physical or moral.
I would love any thoughts...
