This Call then is a softening-up of minds to come round to an eventual one world government, a government where free thought, free belief and free conscience will be illegal. Fascism with a universal christ. With chains and bonds for the separate.
I am a renegade.
Liberty! It's a delicate balance.Governments are built on moral authority with such concepts like good,bad,right and wrong and religions are the the dominant force in that domain. The way I see it,the idea is to question religion without questioning the morals.Cherry picking. To strip religion of moral authority without entering into moral relativism.If we enter moral relativism,being a renegade is a matter of perspective. I don't see how we can avoid questioning morals. I believe we have become comfortable in questioning religion and thus tend to equate this with morals. But morals (having to do with right and wrong) affect even the non religious. To me the big question is the morality of human existence. We are rapidly approaching a point where the existence of the human species will terminally threaten all life on Earth. Is it not more moral then that humans should cease to exist rather than that Earth be destroyed? No it isn't but if all humans are destroyers it is. Does 'destroy' have a moral connotation?

The Revolution of consciousness. The demand for a new answer; what's the meaning of humanity? Tycho, don't you think we shall need a new language then to describe this 'new' world order. What does it mean to be alive...do we accord chairs, rocks and marbles the same regard as we would humans and animals? Do all these living things have feelings? Where would morality fit here, if at all? Is it moral to sit on a chair knowing that it is alive? Ah.That was bound to come up.Is it moral to eat yourself?

Liberty! @Muriel: How would you react if I told you that at least 60% of the things you do, think or believe are controlled by someone else? Yet this is a fact and you can prove it by simply examining your thoughts and therefore actions, over a period of time. Society has invented powerful institutions to ensure this 'facisim' as you call it. They are called religion, government, media, advertising, family, peer groups etc, etc. Even at the most basic level, the autonomy you insist on is a myth. Control - is such a big word. Weighty word. Important word. Perhaps there is confusion of "influence" with "control". For example, your response "influenced" me to write this. You may see it as you "controlled" me to write this (a point requires a rebuttal) through the "action and reaction" but I could have chosen not to respond and how good could the "control" be? Choice. Freedom. Liberty. Autonomy. Even murder. Nothing stops me from coming to you and planting a knife deep in your chest after I have found you. Not my brothers, not pastor, not imam, not president not even capital punishment. I can if I want to. But I choose not to. But others have done it to others. "Control" over them obviously failed. Their "automomy" overrode the "control". Hence "control" is not the word for it is not fulfilled - as it means. "Influence" is more appropriate. I agree. Although the line between influence and coercion is often very thin indeed. But the point is there is almost nothing we do that is not 'influenced.' Even you planting a knife in my chest, I would have to be a co participant in that drama for it to happen. Autonomy, freedom, self control...is a myth. I agree. They are a myth - nowadays. I in the "shadows" too am a myth. A renegade. Fugitive from the all seeing eye of oneness. Mist. Free. Unbound. Separate. Control and influence are one. Not posting is part of control. The control is the Identity. The Identity is willing to appear to be "in control". That to me is not being "in control". Hence the availability of dissenters.

@symbols, first the common definition involves actions that are judgemental.
Secondly because it's a human action. All action needs extra energy. Desire.
There's a desire to judge in the speaker.

There's a desire to judge in the speaker. A tree can fall and destroy something.It's just a word what it expresses is a matter of perspective.

Create a statement using the 'destroy', then replace the word with the synonym and show that the two statements are equal. The choice of a word is a moral act.
