Earnestly, the world suffers from the conservatives’ condition to take their culture too serious.

The conservative is concerned with his traditions, nationality, his culture. He takes it very serious.

A culture is not a serious thing. The tribal rain dance is a superstition, whether it is rhythmic or not. The nation shouldn’t heat up your heart too much. The nation is not a romantic entity. Its rules, regulations, and institutions must pragmatically defend our freedom, but not instate the freedom to infringe on other people’s freedoms.

In the conservative world, the burning of a flag does actual harm. What’s that you say? Gay marriage is a threat to other marriage? In the conservative world, the private life of others endangers your own private life, which–along with the majority of religious believe–is a clear impossibility in actuality.

Let’s explore the nature of marriage a little more, since this is a topic conservatives often raise. What is a marriage? If you believe religions to be true, a God is the will behind nature, marriage is the will of God, therefore marriage is a force of nature. If you believe religions to be true that is. Otherwise marriage can only be interpreted correctly as a cultual idea.

The obsession with the seriousness, validity, and presumed infallibility of a particular culture makes it impossible for the conservative to value or even perceive the strive of anyone who is not like the conservative himself. Too often, they end up on the wrong side of the argument.

This is why the conservative who does not understand his culture, nationality, religion, etc are optional is unsuited to lead the world.

Let this be the standard from now on. You can say you believe in how ever ridicules things. You cannot take them so serious that you are willing to use force to summon its importance–to shed any blood for it! Do you seriously believe that you can do that for us?

During the year 2009, 238 homicides were recorded in the American city of Baltimore. No two crimes are alike–different victims, different weapons, different locations, etc. From white power to jihad, the differences are in the culture, the big similarity can be found in the force of their culture brought by those who mistake their believes as forces of nature, and the inevitable result. The most extreme people feel extreme about their values, devaluing humanity in the process. Humanity is not a cultural phenomenon.

Freedom must not be optional, ergo the details of culture must be optional. A totality of faith is not an option!
