I have no morals.

RE: I have no morals.
That's one of the hallmarks of a platitude, actually. A trite or prosaic statement offered as though it were significant or profound - imparting some deeper or more fulfilling truth, when in actually its just a collection of words that sounded good when they floated through the bearers head.

Perhaps it doesn't accurately convey whatever thought you were trying to express. Care to elaborate?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I've heard 'free will' often described as 'freedom to not do what god wants'. It seems to me that freedom and love (in the sense that slavish devotion is love) are mutually-exclusive in God's eyes. Either you love him and do what he tells you, or you enjoy the freedom to live for yourself (in the process not loving God).

You're hung up on the dogma Ryan.

Oh yeah love is awful and we should all fight for freedom from it.

You have the choice to love and be loved. If you don't choose that, then you choose to restrict your life and live in self imposed torture.

I am not slavishly devoted to anything. I freely choose to embrace it and deny it at every moment. It couldn't be love if I didn't have that choice now could it?

You have the potential to embrace or deny what's good and bad for you at every moment too. I would call that living in tune with God and living out of tune with God. If you choose to embrace good where I don't then you will be in heaven and I'll be in hell.

RE: I have no morals.
This was in refrence to those that make these claims. chad and cat didn't seem to disagree (with the OP) so why would they be addressed?
Besides even though they are of similar beliefs judging from their position stated they to would probably disagree with the baptist nutjobs down here.
It gets old and frutrating to be around these outspoken wack jobs. pretty much feel pity on how their upbringing has made them to be like they are.
the lady at my work makes me wanna just flip sometimes because she spouts all this B.S and is glorified for it.
