Dear Munir,
[..]
1. Freethinking does not MANDATE/REQUIRE compliance. By
its very philosophy it is based on voluntarism. But religious
dogma DOES manadate/require compliance.
2. Freethinking DOES NOT impose penalty for non-compliance.
Religious dogma DOES impose penalty (death for apostacy, kill
disbelivers etc)
2. Free thinking DOES NOT prohibit VOLUNTARY unquestioning
compliance to a leader/belief by anyone. So Fatemolla can exercize
his right as a free person to place unquestioning faith in anyone.
BUT he has no right to mandate others(Not that he has indicated
so). Verbally he can recommend others, but nothing beyond that.
There is no compulsion in freethinking (And it is followed to the
letter). In this case the post by Shlomi Tal long back is very
relevant where he pointed out that beliefs are like commodities,
everyone has the right to promote their wares. But accepting/
rejecting should be voluntary
3. Unquestioning compliance is not incompatible with democracy.
We are placing unquestioning compliance in the Law of the land.
Whether we like it or not we have to accept without questions
the rules of INS, IRS, Company rules etc, judge's verdict. A
freethinker may mandate unquestioning compliance on his
dependent son. One can add more and more examples.
