WRONG!
I am not trying to make my superstitions into the law.
Try to understand that simple point.
Of course I understand. You think it wrong for superstitious people to try and put into legislation their silly unsupported ridiculous superstitions.
And many agree with you I am certain.
Many will disagree.
My point is simply this, in our world we as individuals determine for ourselves what is meaningful and what gives us purpose. There being nothing outside of this closed system that obligates us to choose A over B, the individual is left to determine his own course. Each opinion is simply and ultimately the manifestation of certain physiological and biological processes that occur in our bodies. Like a hiccup or a fart. Some people think slightly different than other people kind of like how some people sneeze louder than others.
Some opinions may even be commonly shared by a majority of homo sapiens. But the common consensus in no way obligates me to think or live like the consensus. I simply dance to my DNA and if I agree I just so happen to agree. If I disagree, then I may be looked at as a minority. That is it.
