[Jon said] You have freedom, even the freedom to read these words, not because you were envisioned as a static pattern continually being transformed by a dynamic pattern. This includes the freedom not to be arrested at will, dragged from your house and imprisoned or tortured for your thoughts and speech-and all the other freedoms and rights you enjoy and take for granted. These rights did not arise and were not acknowledged in the East where moq ideas were prevalent.
You have these freedoms because you were seen as created in the very image of God. And you were endowed by your Creator with these rights because your life was seen as sacred. Not a static, certainly not a dynamic pattern, but a child of the living God. That is the source of freedom, personal and political. [Mary Replies] Well, thank God for that! Funny how a higher level can use the givens of a lower level to go off on purposes of its own. Really glad of that too, since I wouldn't like to have to get up early on Sunday's to go to an institution. Do you ever get the idea this God stuff was not thought out too well? I mean, I'm not sure all this freedom was what was intended. But hey, I'll take what I can get!
