What others teach, I also teach; that is:
“A violent man will die a violent death!”
This will be the essence of my teaching.

But I only agree with these words, they come from:

Hucklebird, I doubt that you are a conservative at all. You have been kidnapped in mind in the same way as Armstrong to be a propaganda mouthpiece. Snap out of it.
It is not a funny question, and you get no license to indulge stupidities that hurt people.
So I think this nonsense is a put on.
In the end there is no forgiveness here, keep that in mind. Make no mistake.
These rightwingers are destroying an entire civilization and don’t care. If that is your game remember that there is no resolution except through violence.

You seem to caught in a reactionary mode peddled by certain New Age gurus, to say nothing of religious conservatives, who are ambitious to undermine modernity.
Your arguments about freedom are suspicious in that regard, especially since the usage of the term ‘freedom’ as I have used it is so innocuous.

Freedom is necessary to find a deeper significance in one`s life. This much is true. But freedom for freedom`s sake does not deliver the deeper signigificance, because what we seek is not a mere condition of necessity. We seek what is found sufficient, and that has to do with the hard work that is able to reach above the sense of entitlement that freedom offers. That we reap what we sow is a higher ideal than freedom for freedom`s sake.

Freedom is the work of the secular.
Sufficiency is the work of religion.
