Episode notes
Liberalism as Religion
- Liberalism functions like a religion by replacing God and divine order with individual human aspiration and choice.
- It sanctifies individual choice above all else, making questioning its principles socially unacceptable and punishable.
Choice Without Moral Anchor
- Liberalism's elevation of individual choice severs morality and social good from human decisions.
- This creates confusion and endless choices without clear direction or true freedom rooted in purpose.
Modern Blasphemy Laws
- Liberalism enforces blasphemy laws that protect its sacred tenets, forcing conformity in language and beliefs.
- Criticism of liberal sacred ideas leads to social punishment, similar to religious heresy.
