We were all born with the belief that freedom is the only way of life - I personally believe this to be true. I think we could all agree that freedom is a basic human right. We all live by rules but ones we agree with or at least can live with. When we come across a rule we absolutely cannot live by we simply dont live by it. People give their lives and wars are started over that simple principle. Anyone living in this country would also agree that freedom does not exist where there is absolute power. So why, I ask, do some people worship a god with absolute power and absolute rules, some of which are not just, that result in ones eternal suffering if broken?

If we were all truly free and it was our right, why are we letting the government rule us? Everyone is bound by the chains of laws and other's rights. Shouldn't you speak more of a limited freedom?

everyone chooses what they do. You cannot say a person is not free just because they dont live in america. They have the choice to live where ever they want - where there is a will there is a way.

Because they are scared to death to not believe it. They are taught that to not believe is to reject God. So they believe it out of pure fear. It's a dogma that's designed to entrap people like this. It's the God who sends people to hell who don't believe in him.

She always wanted to go to China, so I sent her big toe there. The rest went to the moon, Osama, and Ben Franklin.
