: Some of your _examples_ could be taken as provoking but....
: How are you "enslaved" unless you feel "enslaved"? It would seem to be a state of mind, and in my belief in evolution and "plastic" reproductions(LOL) I feel more free than i've ever felt in my life. I also just happen to live on earth so I feel greatly attatched to it. Perhaps just as a baby cries when it's mother walks out of eye range, fearing the loss of it's life support system, so adults get nervous about the earths state of affairs. You could also say you are enslaved if you are upset when your spouse has an affair with your best friend, eh? or if you worry about bills or feel hungry when out of $ and food. Any such matters could be viewed as "enslaved" yet many devout christians I know, worry about such things even more than the earths condition(which seems oddly short sited to me) You could be "enslaved" by limits too, any limits......It's kind of a broad thing-enslaving.

SDF: Oh, it's a simple thing... you ARE enslaved if you don't check your beliefs with Robert's version of the Gospel Truth before believing them. If you don't believe exactly what Robert says you must believe, then you're enslaved. This is to be distinguished from only FEELING enslaved (LOL! LOL!)
