I am trying to show you, your chains so you can free your mind.
Describe the box I am thinking inside of (so as to see it) describe the chains that bind my mind (so as to try to free them)
You must understand that in general the religious tend to adhere to these boxes and chains as compared to the non religious.
Also you must be aware that non believers are constantly bombarded with any and all tactics to get us "back to Jesus" as it were. So unfortunatly your message of "free you mind" is difficult to believe when it is a religious source.
I will try but you do see the problem.
I see the problem. You are working for a religious stereotype based on the roman catholic religion, and you have never bothered to verify that Biblical Christianity indeed followed that religion. So you 'think' Biblical Christianity is about following rules, but that would be the furthest thing from the 2000 year old truth.
As far as showing you guys the box I drew parallels between today's society and Nazi Germany. as soon as I did you all blocked everything out as a 'Godwin.'
The point I was making had nothing to do with the 'godwin' arguement. I was trying to show how popular morality without an absolute standard to work as a point of reference can twist one's value system so much they cease seeing evil for what it is.
I illustrated this by the typical nazi response when questioned about the 'morality' of genocide. None of them saw themselves as being evil, matter of fact they were lead to believe that it was their moral duty for their country to round up and then exterminate the jews. Why? because the first thing Hitler did was cut ties from the church and set up his own version of it to control Nazi german 'morality.'
Rather than the goverment who cuts ties from God, we as a pop culture cut ties from God and the net result is the same. 'morality' is redefined. It fools those who make up the pop culture that because it has such sharp and well defined definations concerning right and wrong it/pop morality has evolved into the superior sense of right and wrong that no one can question. So the 'self righteous' (those who seek righteousness apart from God) flock to this standard because it offers the illusion of freedom in exchange for your total allegiance.. Just like the German's "advanced practices of morality" did.
In essence Pop Morality becomes or replaces the authority and deity of God, in that it is rarely if ever questioned. Just look at how you "good" people went for the jugular with me when I began to question the 'unforgivable sins' of pop morality. So then if Pop morality changes in a way you do not agree, your 'morality' falls into question and depending on the severity of your objection, Society has the right to remove your status as a human being... (Just like the Germans did.) And can treat you as harshly as currently accepted. So then compliance to pop morality is a mandate or one (for now) is treated like a lower form of life. But, how long before we follow the path the Nazi's went down themselves?
If you do not think this to be the case then protest a gay wedding or file a law suit against a gay couple trying to adopt.
That's why I asked in the beginning of this thread, what happens when man's lust for the taboo pushes past homosexuality and the 'new thing' is sex with Children? Then I asked what if science proves sex with a child as young as 10 will cause no harm, and science is also tapped to provide a gene that predisposes a percentage of the population to pedophilia. Following the same exact course Homosexuality took to find its 'morality' in pop culture. Where will you stand when our 'morality' seeks to claim the innocence of the next generation?? Will you stand with what is moral and immoral now? or will you hand control of your mind over to the mindless mob and their sense of future morality???
Understand all the same old arguments you all use against Christianity today will be marched back out to defend pedophilia then.
If you do not have a unchanging standard, then what grounds do you have in not changing your morality to fit whatever pop culture demands??
