Free Will...

By
Good Morning,
  I have a motto: FREEWILL NEED NOT BE SELF-WILL...I see the many things people post on the net and I wonder why everyone is so wrapped up in telling others what they should do, what they should think...what they should believe...where are those who worry more about their own choices, about their own responsibility? Has America and the world changed that much? Why not talk about what you will do, what you believe and why? AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING THIS TREND?!

While I have seen an increase in this behavior on Facebook, I believe it may be more noticeable on social media than in our everyday lives; nevertheless, passing off personal responsibility with blanket indictments of other groups (or those conveniently labeled as "other") is definitely a rising trend. One could argue that this is due to the weakening of moral indoctrination that began in the 20th century with mass industrialization and modern spiritual thought. And I am quite for some moral indoctrination, just to clarify.

The Atlantic: The Case Against Encouraging Polygamy Why civil marriage should not encompass group unions

By
" Where does the next advance come?" he asks in an essay at  Politico.  "Now that we've defined that love and devotion and family isn't driven by gender alone, why should it be limited to just two individuals? The most natural advance next for marriage lies in legalized polygamy.... Gay marriage remains illegal in Australia, most of Asia, Africa, and Oceania, and parts of Europe and Mexico; the most liberal of those countries strike me as the most natural places for "the next advance" of marriage. I'd urge my fellow gay-marriage proponents to focus their efforts there––and legalizing group marriage in America right now would strengthen the hands of gay-marriage opponents abroad, confirming slippery-slope arguments that were raised and rejected here. If it ever made sense to avoid this fight as a matter of political strategy, it still does; if gay marriage was ever a more important priority​ than plural marriage, it remains so." ~ Freddie de Boe...
