Does Truth Destroy Freedom? -- Is it true that the more you subscribe to divine truth, the less free you become? Before I went to school I was free to believe, for example, that Shakespeare was born in 1224. But finally, I was told that Shakespeare was not born in 1224, but rather in 1564. I found out that education in truth was really restricting my freedom to fall into error. Before I went to school, I also thought that “H20” was really the initials of a spy. Then I fell into the hands of a reactionary teacher. He stopped all of my liberalism. Do you know what he told me H20 meant? He said it was the symbol for water. Thus, the more I studied, the freer I became to know error.
