Artistix Esprexxion

Of course an “artist’s” freedom of expression can and must be curbed at times.
Freedom of expression can Not be argued or even discussed only at its point of expression. It must be discussed at the root from which it springs, the world view of the artist.

We All draw circles around what is good right pleasant pleasing proper acceptable lovely nice and what is not.

That there Are moral absolutes is Not in question. The question is not how big or how small should the circle be. The question is not should it encompass this area or that. The question Is ‘who gets to draw the circle’.
Right ?
Of course right ! !

That every human endevour is touched by the Absolute Universal Norm is Not in question. We have to be respectful of other peoples feelings or we prove that we are other than feeling human beings ourselves; something other than what we were made to be. Everyone expects good right pleasant pleasing proper acceptable lovely nice and rightly so. No one will Ever gain them at someone else’s expense ! You have to earn good right pleasant pleasing proper acceptable lovely nice yourself. OR have it freely and benevolently given to you. Being right And just are more important than someone’s feelings because there is an Absolute Universal Norm.

The circles that we draw Are Laws. Rules.

If you join a chess club, beyond any rules about who may or may not join and how or how you may not act while “attending” the club or functions thereof there Are the rules of the game. Without them chess is Not chess. Does our club play that a pawn that reaches the 8th rank can be exchanged for any piece that has been taken off of the board Or can one conceivably have 9 queens on the board, or any other piece that you want?

Therefore when the laws are broken the perpetrator is punished. Laws without equal and just punishment are not laws. Unless you can find a stand in you are dead meat because you broke the Absolute Universal Norm.

I don’t find anything wrong with you hurting my feelings over some religious practice. I don’t have any that are really worth my feelings.
But I will not give up God.
