If you read my posts, you would hear me say that I don't need to follow even my own pre-programmed instincts of survival, superiority, selfishness and of applying a certain justice on others.

Am I the only one like this? I guess not.
Jesus too (being real or not) on the Gospel is also a totally independent person,

Did Jesus defend himself or run away before his crucifixion?
Did he show up as a VIP or an important master looking for servants under his commands (as in the army)?
Was he selfish in whatever he did?
Did he judge and/or condemn anyone in the name of any justice?

I mean since the nature of your being doesn't allow you to believe that a character as of Jesus could be real, I am afraid that you have no choice but to laugh at me too Big Grin

It’s not a question of belief. ‘Total independence’ is an impossibility.

Well, you may be right... I still need to eat... to sleep... and design things to gain my daily bread.
I also don't mind obeying rules as long they don't contradict my Unconditional Love towards all humans, good and evil.

I recall now when, during my military service as an officer, I was asked to learn how to use a gun in a training session. I simply refused to hold one and told them that I don’t have enemies in my life. They replied:
Them: “But, at anytime, our country may be invaded by enemies”.
Me: “Would you please remind me the meaning of enemies?”
Them: “They are the ones who will impose on us their will”.
Me: “You mean as you are trying to do to me right now”.
They laughed while they moved away. Since then, I was never asked to join a training session. Instead, I taught applied electronics in a military academy for a couple of years.
Answering: What is my point?
