About Me:
Religious views-----Agnosticism, Secularism, Freethought, Religious skepticism.
I opt freedom from (rather than of) any organized religion. Monotheism is the primitive religion which centers human consciousness on Hive Authority. There is One God and His Name is __________ (substitute Hive-Label). If there is only One God then there is no choice, no option, no selection of reality. There is only Submission or Heresy. The word Islam means 'submission'. The basic posture of Christianity is kneeling. Thy will be done. The modern female cult supports the notion of the Great Mother consciousness replacing the sagging Father cult. However, I see no benefit in returning to a monotheistic matriarchy. I hold that the notion of monotheism, whether male or female is dead. The discovery of Self is frightening because the novitiate possessor of the Automobile Body and the Automobile Brain must accept all the power that the hive religious attributed to the jealous Jehovah. The First Commandment of all Monotheism is: I am the Lord, thy God: Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. All monotheisms are vengeful, aggressive, expansionist, intolerant... It is the duty of a monotheist to destroy any competitive heresy. Concepts such as devil, hell, guilt, eternal damnation, sin, evil are fabrications by the hive to insure loyalty to Hive Central. All these doctrines are precisely designed to intimidate and crush individualism.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Plato was discoursing on his theory of ideas and, pointing to the cups on the table before him, said while there are many cups in the world, there is only one `idea' of a cup, and this cupness precedes the existence of all particular cups.
"I can see the cup on the table," interupted Diogenes, "but I can't see the `cupness'".
"That's because you have the eyes to see the cup," said Plato, "but", tapping his head with his forefinger, "you don't have the intellect with which to comprehend `cupness'."
Diogenes walked up to the table, examined a cup and, looking inside, asked, "Is it empty?"
Plato nodded.
"Where is the `emptiness' which procedes this empty cup?" asked Diogenes.
Plato allowed himself a few moments to collect his thoughts, but Diogenes reached over and, tapping Plato's head with his finger, said "I think you will find here is the `emptiness'."-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Some strangers to Athens once asked Diogenes if he would point out to them the great philosopher [meaning Plato]. Diogenes looked around and then led them to the most deserted part of the city and, gesturing to the empty air as one would in formal introduction, said, "May I present to you the great philosopher Plato."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal." -- F. A. Hayek-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst ... My mind is my own church."
--Thomas Paine-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
--First Amendment to the United States Constitution---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
--Thomas Jefferson--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Liberals want the government to be your Mommy. Conservatives want government to be your Daddy. Libertarians want it to treat you like an adult. -- Andre Marrou

"Liberals generally wish to preserve the concept of "rights" for such "human" rights as freedom of speech, while denying the concept to private property. And yet, on the contrary the concept of "rights" only makes sense as property rights. For not only are there no human rights which are not also property rights, but the former rights lose their absoluteness and clarity and become fuzzy and vulnerable when property rights are not used as the standard."
