""Frank, do you think it is possible to be a Free Thinker and religious?""

Certainly Penny, it is possible to be a free thinker, a humanist, and believe in a deity.

That is what free will is all about, the art of using your brain to decide which bits are of use in being a good human being, and which are simply agenda driven misquotes and misinterpretations by other men exercising their free will in an attempt to deprive you of yours.

Those with insufficient self confidence or self esteem fall victim to the controlling traps of dogma and doctrine which are the opiates with which their critical faculties are numbed to insensibility, the antithesis of free will.
