Setting aside my personal beliefs and initial indignation at that license plate, might I point out something… and I apologise if I border on offensive to anyone…
I hope that as people with consciences, everyone gets to make a desicion about what they think about the existance of God. I think its takes as much faith to believe in God as it does to believe that God is just a man made figment.
It’s a little ironic how the artist saying this is able to excercise free speech as a result of democratic society that has grown from underpinnings in the moral systems of Christian religion. I guess “Detox” is appropriate since it aknowledges the permeation of religion in society. By plainly considering outcomes (God forbid though- pardon the phrase- that a man’s faith would be reduced to its productivity), at least religion helps instill values and morals.
(Might I throw in the fact that faith in God is not equated by being religious. Religion, in my opinion, can be seen as the bumbling, fumbling and humbling way man chooses to approach God.)
In concerns to religious conflict, this piece denies mankind the ability to Coexist, that any effort towards it is useless. If we cannot settle religious difference, what other personal beliefs will we need to purify ourselves from? What kind of beliefs will remain to guide our moral judgements?
I can’t help but wonder what “Free Your Mind” would really mean for us. Should society really “detox” itself and place man as pivotal of all the desicions it makes, I wonder if, when despite his best efforts, tragedy strikes, will he still scream “Why God??!”
Ultimately, the questions lead in you in some direction- do you believe in something greater, a greater demand on your everyday life? And how does it change the way you live?… and then faith is the journey you take.
