if there is a "creative force," a power greater than ourselves, responsible
for the world in which we live, or perhaps a "God," than it stands to reason that within
the scope of our limited understanding this force must manifest itself as
energy (the energy of creation), that which cannot be created or destroyed
(an expression of our limited understanding). Matter, according to our
understanding, being relatively equal to energy, must also necessarily be
part of this creative force, from the smallest unit of matter to the
largest. Therefore, all that is, or exists within our understanding, must
necessarily be part of "God". Logically, then, all that we are and all that we can
perceive can be expressed as part of this "force", this creative God, of the "One".
It follows that, as part of this force, our expressions of life become expressions of God.
Therefore, as we are all "one," violence becomes masochism and sex becomes
masterbation. Moralists might argue that masterbation and masochism are
morally inseparable (that is, to say, self-abuse), or, as equally stated, a
"sin". These dualities may be expressed as follows: masochism is to
masterbation as sex is to violence. If we, as part of the whole, are
inseparable from God, can we logically separate these actions from a
benevolent Creator?
To make a logical/illogical jump to include the most basic duality, the
idea of the "knowledge" of good vs. evil, can we then state that creation
is to destruction as good is to evil? But, by definition of this argument,
creation would be inseparable from destruction from which follows "good" is
inseparable from "evil" (and the other possible permutation). "Good"
christian theology does not allow such a jump, as such reasoning undermines
the very premise upon which the entire foundation of modern Christianity is
built. Can we say, then, that based upon this simple argument that "sin", by
definition, is an illogical concept? And if "sin" is illogical, then it
must not exist in God’s Universe. What we are left with, then, is the
knowledge of our most basic freedom, the freedom of choice (freewill). The
human mind, by making choices, expresses this freedom. These dualities, or
the separation between the given parameters of our choices, cease to exist,
and, necessarily, then, the separation between humans and God ceases to
exist. The lie is exposed and we must rejoice in our freedom. Theologins,
unable to resolve this question of freewill, have simply shrugged and
stated, "Well, freewill is............God’s greatest gift to us".
I follows, from the very rules of logic upon which their theology is built,
that if we do not exercise this freedom then we must be, necessarily,
commiting a "sin". Exercise choice, do not follow another’s words
blindly.................think for yourself, and begin the revolution/evolution
within. And always be considerate.
