"Free thinkers" are actually bondage thinkers because they are still trapped in their sin, they are blind and refuse to admit they are locked in their own cages but Jesus holds the key to eternal life for them; all they have to do is open their eyes and freely receive Jesus' salvation; only then can they become free in their thinking.

If you were not such a Pharisee (see what Jesus says about Pharisees as you fit the mould!) you would acknowledge that all are sinners in need of God's grace and forgiveness. There is nothing that says that accepting Jesus makes you less a sinner. I mean doesn't you handbook say: Who is without sin but God alone?"

And waht does Jesus say about those who call him "Lord, Lord"?

And what about the biblical injunct5ion not to judge others.

Somehow I see you as a whited sepulchre...

@ Rabbit

Bonds and bondage both have their place in the spectrum of human pleasure - no?

@ Papabear,

you surely know what bondage is...? "Take these chains from my..." etc.

bondage? Sounds kinky. ;}

Who is free; certainly not the one who thinks everything is a sin.

Jesus is the cage. If you are a bible literalist, then you have to know that God set up Adam and Eve to fail. According to the story, they had no clue what sin was. They wouldn't have been able to make a rational decision whether to eat the fruit or not. So when the snake comes along and does convince them to eat the fruit, sin is brought into the world. A few thousand years later God, as Jesus, has to come and die to wipe out that original sin.

And... and... God knew all of this beforehand. That makes him a bit of a sadist too, don't you think?

PRAYER TO KEEP FREE THOUGHTS AT BAY

When we are dead my Lord, we pray that you keep our dust free of consciousness and that our mouldy carcass has a Jesus-magic done on it. Let our zombie bodies rise only with the bountiful single expansive thought of Jesus resounding through our bit where the brain used to be, with just the occasional mumbling of "brains" to interrupt the universal Jesus mantra as we lurch to lunch.

If, as we hope, that we live until 'soon', say anytime within the next trillion years, then it will be glorious that we, as "constricted thinkers", will soar to our ethereal mansions with not a trace of "free thinking" and the total absence of, er sin. Whatever that is? No doubt you'll explain when we get there. Wherever 'there' is?

While we yet live my Lord, let us forgo all flights of fancy and all human sinfulness, like odious compassion, hateful education, pinko tolerance, degenerate sciencey things, etc.

We promise O Mighty Lord Of Ignorance and Deceit to do thy rabid bidding and to promote the bracing joys of torture and the delightful playfulness of cunning lies. We promise to champion the rightful cause of degenerate hatred based on delusion, laziness and righteous jealousy.

Amen

(the following is based on the assumption that Christianity is real)

Interesting perspective, but unfortunately it falls apart when one looks at other christian doctrine which specifically precludes thinking about certain things like demons and witchcraft. Hence while it could be argued that through Jesus one can become philosophically more free, there are still limitations places on that freedom.

While a free-thinker may not gain the philosophical insight from being Jesus' buddy, they have access to a greater number of information sources and can thus perhaps gain that insight themselves. Hence a free-thinker has more opportunity for freedom than a christian.
