Ah, my dear Lad, this is where your philosophy breaks down.ladron121 wrote:Only those that do not understand the real world resort to such simple terms as "good" and "evil". Life is not that simple, no matter how hard you wish it.
Why do they tell us nothing? It would surprise you how well informed we really are.
Why did they kidnap and drug Daniel? I believe in the video "Drinking Problems" Daniel admits to going willingly with the Cowboy. And he also admitted to a drinking problem that stems from his parents own alcoholism.
Why did they kill her father? Where's the body? How do you know he is dead?
Free will without rules leads to anarchy. That is why the government that was formed by the Constitution creates and enforces laws. Because if everyone got to do whatever they pleased, anarchy would reign.
Your historical comparisons do not fit here. I never said that rebellion is not justified. You filled in your own blanks off your uninformed bias of our organization. Fearing what you do not understand is the hallmark of ignorance, and I do feel sorry for you. I will say that murder and theft are not justified, which your precious Tachyon and brother excel at. But there is probably no way we can talk you out of your fantasy land of absolutes.
Nothing is absolute...
You state that nothing is absolute. So, absolutely nothing is absolute? My friend, that is impossible. There are absolutes, there must be absolutes.
Opaphid wants to grey those areas. Make us all believe that anything is believable. To submit your will to the order since the order will be the only thing to keep you safe from the chaos of no absolutes. It is tempting...until you realize what it requires.
To submit to this thought is to give up your free will, blindn acceptance of all the order gives you "for your protection". Any thought outside this order is a threat to the order itself. It demands slavery of the believer, it demands total submission to any possiblity outside what is offered.
Oppy only offers one thing. Slavery for the order's own reason. You become responsible to them, never the other way around. You become no more than an ant in their colony.
Bree, you made the right choice. Fight for free will. Fight for a better world free from Oppy. As your father died for your freedom, give your life so others in the order may taste freedom as well!
As a father myself...I encourage you to fight and give your life for the freedom of others!
