That means believing in Jesus or any other god makes you a slave of the traditions and myths. I know an elderly Jewish lady who religiously --pun intended-- follows the rules set by Sabbaths to the point she can't touch buttons of any kind. Another fellow in the extended family is a JW and he can't celebrate Christmas.
I mean, even atheists celebrate Christmas. After all they are celebrating Saturnalia, right? I consider myself a "free spirit," and I celebrate whatever holiday comes around. Religious people are not free, not even to ride a bicycle. That's most insignificant to the Jewish lady even though she's unable to walk, and thus unable to sleep and be functional.
I just want to "hijack" this thread to say the following, which I think is most brilliant: "The bicycle is the vehicle of liberation, the mind is the ultimate vehicle of liberation."
