The little child stubbornly stands with his eyes closed tightly and with his hands covering his ears while shouting, "La-la-la-la-la, I don’t see you. I can’t hear you!"

Oh, excuse me. That’s not a bratty little kid, that’s an atheist, an agnostic, a religionist that has created god and the universe in his own image. They are really hard to tell apart.

The tantrum, now resembling a grand mal seizure, knocks Pandora’s Crock from the shelf and breaks it on the floor, leaking its virulent contents. The hissy fit has achieved its purpose– freedom from oppression and liberation from accountability.

 
The practical lessons in freedom here are manifold. For example, when one is driving and sees a police car in his rear view mirror, the driver no longer has to follow the mythical rules of the road to avoid being ticketed. All that he has to do is adjust the rear view mirror to a position that makes the squad car nonexistent. How good it is to be able to throw off the shackles of old prescientific, superstitious repressions. You are in a white Ford Bronco rolling casually down the freeway without a care in the world of your own creation.

One little problem has developed since you have gained your precious freedom and have been inoculated against any claims of preexisting or absolute truth. Although you are now free to create the world in your own image, so is everyone else. And most of them are really dumb asses! Now there’s a cross to bear. In response you can withdraw altogether or align your dominion with other like minded gods to commingle power in order to affect change toward a better world– a world in conformity to your visionary image.

You and the other select members of your godhead see a problem and take action. In your superior knowledge and being, you needn’t consult the accrued wisdom of the masses throughout time and experience along with their resulting institutions. Their mythological folklore isn’t logical and scientific as is yours.

 
Don’t bother yourself about disastrous results, you are free from accountability. Just readjust your rear view mirror and keep on sailing. Your goals are holy. Follow the example of the radical homosexual leaders. Their goals are sacrosanct so there is no need to be mortified by their ship’s wake while cutting through the ocean of blood, suffering, and destruction. There are scapegoats aplenty– anyone who dares oppose the pronouncements of the godhead. If you could just assume a little more power..., judges...

All standing institutions, cultural mores, and standards in some way oppress freedom. They must all be destroyed. For these purposes, it is beneficial to have a multitude of ‘useful idiots’, those who would deny God’s authority, but still are intelligent and compassionate, retaining a vestige of Christian cultural conscience. They will lend all manner of support while also ignoring the actual causes of the destruction wreaked. Save the whales! (But the whales, intelligent creatures, are fleeing from their helping hand.) One whale, upon hearing of another liberal salvific solution, was overheard to say, "Thar she blows!"
