You are not a free thinker if . . .

  1. You are not a freethinker, if you believe in invisible beings and invisible places and that one of these invisible beings will punish you in an invisible place for not believing in it.

    1. Pbitencourt, it sounds like you’re taking the bait. Your notion of “free thinker” is kind of dogmatic. Suppose for the sake of argument that an invisible being did exist but was very hard to verify, wasn’t religiously significant, and wasn’t like any character in any of the major religions. You just defined “free thinker” in a way that dogmatically refuses to allow that that being exists.

      You may treat “free thinker” as a label for a particular kind of dogmatism. But I’m trying to unpack what free thinking would actually be if the words “free thinker” weren’t just a label for religious skeptics but were, instead, a description – “one who exercises liberty in their thinking.”
