Greetings

Greetings followers. This is Straitjackets first post to his blog. You are probably wondering wh I call myself Straitjacket. Well first its a shock factor kinda thing. Secondly, I have had my brushes with mental illness, which i embrace through this moniker. But I feel that sometimes the "insane" are not the ones in the straitjackets. In reality its the conformists that choose to live in their own straitjackets of conformity and political correctness. Also, I have noticed a disturbing trend amongst the people not fraught with disabilities. Everything they say is underscored by a tone of compellation towards their beliefs. It is as if they have no choice what they believe in. Let me explain, most of my beliefs are Christian, I believe in the Jesus of Nazarath and the God of Jacob. But i don't have the compelative nature my church brethren possess. They seem to say, I have to believe in him. I believe in him because the evidence seems to point to him, and his morals so closely mirror my own. But this faith they speak of, sounds horrible, the compulsive need to believe in something, the obligation to exterminate all doubt and no exploration. I was raised as a Christian for my great grandmothers sake. But about sixth grade I started exploring other religions, incorporating them into my belief struture, but the church folk feared this, they found the doubt and the fraternizing with other religions to be heretical. Now this is just one example, a profound one, but it makes me wonder, what makes me different? Why am I, and others like me don't possess this obligation? I have this ability, and I wonder if all possess it, that I can convince my self either way with middling evidence. Like if i started thinking now, i could turn myself atheist. In some circumstances i can make myself fully believe delusions, fullywell knowing that its not true. Is it because moral relativity is correct? I will continue at a later hour on the subject of moral relativity
