To be free means freedom from the things society considers valuable, considers sacred.

 

[whoamI?]

The morality prescribed by society is immorality.

 

[whoamI?]

Most carry on under the burden of their masks, as the masks dictate, masks prescribed by society - to die worn out, washed out. All for nothing.

As it stands, everything that has been touched by man (equal gender usage), corrupts. Which includes all things that some traditionally consider sacred.

Because we are fallen, flawed. Jesus is our only hope.

I bit of reflux?

A corrupted mind-heart holding on to a belief is still corrupted. In the process it corrupts that which it is holding on to.

Correct. Trying to hold my words, if expressed, will be a bit rude.

You can criticize the Christ without being rude to me personally. I am not a snowflake.

Other way around. I can't criticize Jesus of Nazareth, but i want to rein in what i feel like saying to his followers, or for that matter the followers of society's masks.

It would not be something I haven't heard before, here and elsewhere

Just as you have most likely not seen one give the kind of loving testimony one gave (to the principle. not the person) above and yet maintain that a mind concerned with acquired beliefs is still a second hand mind and is subjected to the same corruption as of the other camp.

… but are they really following “Jesus”?

To be free means freedom from the things society considers valuable, considers sacred.

Being free is to decide your life direction for yourself. Whether you consider anything valuable in society is up to you to decide.

 

[whoamI?]

… but are they really following “Jesus”?

Not that I am an expert on Jesus, nor do I wish to be, but i suspect "be a light to yourself" was his essential messsage.

Freedom for you is just a word. You haven't tasted it. It shows in what you write.

I get to decide what freedom means, not you. That is true freedom.

Run along then.

I think, according to Christians, his essential message was that he was God in the flesh, who will return with a new heaven and new earth. Oh yeah, and to love each other. Haha
