You are already a slave, dude. A slave to your own sins, passions, desires, etc. You think you are free to do as you please...but there are things that you do because you cannot help doing otherwise.
Criminalizing your nature and denying your humanity isn't strength or freedom, it's a one way ticket to a miserable life. You're a slave to an imaginary concept designed to control you. I have no use for that idea.
I'm sorry that you live in this mindset, Randy. I know how it feels.

Well I think you just figured out the problem of why not everyone knows gods love. He wrote it on the heart which just pumps blood, when he should of wrote it on our brains. He did have a lot going on with his grueling training program of making people rape and enslave each other until they figured out it was wrong.
It is a metaphor describing a mans natural yearning for God, although I can see in this heathen world you might struggle to hear it amongst the screaming materialism around you.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Just wow.
I've met some pretty hardcore Catholics before spouting some pretty crazy shit on rank with claims of masonic plots and UFO's but nothing on the Randy and PiousPaladin level.
I think most of them would be horrified to think they share the same faith with some of the stuff on this thread.

I am not preaching, I am simply sharing the reasoning and position of myself and my compatriots. It is part of the reason I have not shared pastoral resources to back up some of my answers.

Am I the only one who thinks this is possibly how PP and Randy see themselves?
