Deconversion and some doubts

[Acrobat]

That supposedly moral voice, is just a projection of your own, a product of social and cultural conditioning.

The other day a man dropped his wallet, and I was tempted to keep it, but that pesky voice of admonishment telling me not to do it, because it’s wrong reared his head.

But I was able to snuff it out, by reminding myself that it’s just a projection, that there’s  nothing right or wrong about anything, that I am master of my own life, not that stupid voice of moral authority. It’s just an illusion, a sound effect, no more authoritative than a fart.

So I took it, bought myself some nice things with the money, and have been happy since.

Go and do the same

Possibly one of the most childish posts I have seen on this site.

I mean seriously, you expect me to believe that the only reason you are not out there murdering, raping and pillaging is because of a crinkly old book that instructs you to do exactly that? That this is what you want to do? That tells me more about your character than you likely wished to reveal.

No, I was referring to things I’m tempted to do, and the barrier between doing it and not doing it, is that conscience voice, telling us that something is wrong.

I’m saying in those situations just snuff that voice out, reminding yourself that it’s a product of social of cultural conditioning, and should have no real authority over what you do or don’t do.

Do I think peoples behaviors would change if they truly believed this about that voice in their head, about our supposed moral compass, our conscious, etc..? Sure, but luckily for us most people don’t, and think it is a true voice of moral authority over their lives.
