I Am a Free Thinker Stories of Experiences

I have 4 incredible kids, ranging in ages from 8- 19. They all are intelligent, witty and college bound. They also, like all kids I know, test boundaries and test me to see if I'm paying attention.

They are amazing, but not perfect...

I am an avantgarde dancer and have avantgarde views, feelings, and outlook. I challenge how people think about things and enjoy doing this.

My being a free thinker means I won't hamper myself with social conventions which have...

I'm not sure I'd call myself completely atheistic. Maybe agnostic-atheist. In any case, I hold fairly strongly the conviction that organised religion is intellectual and philosophical suicide, and I just don't have time for people who...

Everybody has got a different description of what a free thinker is. For me is someone who does not follow any dogma, who may or may not be close to some religion or ideology, but does not agree to everything about them. Someone who...

once apon a time a kid named jake was walking in the middle of the street because he was homeless. One day a nice man walked up to him, and gave him a 100 dollar bill. jake walked up to the guy and sayed,"sir you droped your money...

Well, I'm not one to ever write about what's happening or how I feel to have out in the open for everyone to read, but that's exactly why I have an account on here. I've been having the urge lately to just say what's on my mind to...

The modern (read: western) freethought movement started during the end of the Renessance and the beginning of the age of Englightenment and has slowly died since then only to now make some resurgance as Progressive ideas are again...

Seems like something quite a few people claim to be. If you don't think freely, you wouldn't know it, would you? Or why would you admit that you aren't a free thinker? I can't imagine anyone who would admit it. Ask people to define what...

I have been reading up on fluoride for the past couple of days. The information on this subject makes me question the humans, and how we're evolving more slowly. How it's keeping humanity from "knowing true self". It has been found to...

Listen up, before you message me or begin patronizing me for this, at least hear me out before you go Billy Graham on my butt.

I realized that I was put on this Earth by God to question what's unquestionable, to ask where can I...

Really? Well, I don't think we need one. but since we do, Happy FTD, everybody! I equate free thinking with
open-mindedness, though I can hear my philosophy professors from college already, pointing out the differences.
But free...

Like my title states, I question everything.

Why?

How?

What if?

I question a lot: work, mortgages, life, religion, science, the media and the political parties.
I wonder why whenever there is a documentary about Nazis in WW2 do the producers add horror music? Why are the BBC so shit? Same with Fox I...

I grew up in a Christian home. My father's family was American Lutheran and my mother's was Missouri Synod Lutheran. I couldn't tell the difference, but some people would spend hours arguing fine points of doctrinal differences. In...

Ever been raised to believe a certain way? Or ever been told you can't dress this way, think like that, blah blah? Guess that makes a billion of us. Lets just say I learned to think for myself when I admited that I'm not like everyone...

What is "thinking", exactly? Basically, it is a neuro-chemical process, okay?Okay... Doesn't help much, now does it.In fact, "thinking" -besides a more technical explanation- is basicall a constant comparing of intake.Things you see...

I guess it is a personal choice whether you would rather be accepted or be yourself and I choose the latter. For the record, I am done with my rebellious stage of life and on to accepting the world and people (myself included) the way...

I've always been a 'Free Thinker' however i was not always a 'Free Actor of my Thinking'. I hear nowadays folks talking about thinking outside the box or envelope, or pushing the edge of the envelope. I personally never saw a box or...

People can ridicule all they want.I don't care whats "in" and whats not.I have my own mind thank you very much.

I am me.
I have always been a free thinker for the most part. It came natural to me. The first obvious sign was becoming the first atheist I ever knew.
I do not conform to society in most ways. I challenge norms and am suffering for...
