"there can be no free thinkers or free thinking." It is certainly free from a subjective perspective. Of course, nothing is truly free. FREE is an idea we have. One need not comprehend all thought and all reality (our imaginary "God" concept) in order to rationally comprehend the truly ridiculous--and the obviously primitive and nonsensical. Thus we know the biblical cure for leprosy was primitive nonsense and we know that the rapes and atrocities in the bible (even though myth and legend) were even so uncivilized and savage...and farther removed from any "possible" God than any decent human being can or could imagine. It is okay by me if you dislike calling thinking "free"! I think of it as free. I may not have the "absolute" proof but that is not overweening for me. Without this acknowledgment, humanity has no legitimate premise-based argument for responsibility and accountability. And that is why thought is FREE. Without that premise there is no moral basis for inducing conformity to civilized rules and regulations. Nothing (nor thought) can ever be "free" as in operating outside of or independent of all existence. You are in and of the universe and so are your thoughts.
