What Does God Want?

What Does God Want From Us?

Reading through the ancient texts and listening to multiple differing religions speak, they seem to be saying that God has given humans their freedom to choose. Psalm 51 is a good exposition of this. From this I presume that:

So why then, do religious people say we must obey God, if he has clearly stated he wants us to be free? Why are religious people horrified at the thought that God does not want us to obey him?

I can only suggest this is because people prefer slavery, with its powerful master, more than we want autonomy and freedom.

And for those people who do not believe in a metaphysical God, they merely choose a material world master: the state, a cult, or political party...any ideology or authority which creates a Master of some kind for us to obey. Atheism is a classic exposition of this collective neurosis.

My view is that God, if he exists, wants our autonomy and he says this clearly. That is, he wants us individually to make up our own minds about how we are and to perform our duty in the world and meet our obligations to others. Duty and obligation of the corollaries of freedom, without which this hallowed freedom is meaningless.

We don't have to obey anything or anyone, before ourselves. This is not a call out for anarchy, which in itself is just another earth bound Master. It's saying look inside for the answers, not out there to a teacher, a guru a despotic father figure - this activity cannot be taught, it cannot be earned, we do not deserve its benefits. It just is.

And if we chose slavery instead and try to obey him, then he will just shrug his shoulders - there's nothing more he can now do for us - he tried. All he wants is our autonomy. To punish us for getting that wrong is circular, he does not care if we choose slavery, that is entirely a matter for us to face the consequences of.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states. Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise. Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or England were to leave the Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses. It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale. 2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
