And most of the traditions you malign are the reason for the things you value most: freedom, rationality, and the concept of natural law. As F. A. Hayek famously put it, morality is not the product of our reason; it is the other way around. Our systems of though grew out of the traditions we followed.
Ironic, isn't it, that your world-view comes closest to to that of the leftists: that reason is king, that the rationally ordered and explained is much superior to the product of tradition and the uncontrolled product of mass decision-making (socialism over capitalism), and society and tradition is devalued compared to one person's inferior "knowledge." That's the end product of your intellectual path, you know. What arrogance, that you would claim to know better than the millions that have lived and died to establish our Western traditions. You really should read some Hayek, specifically The Fatal Conceit, but I guess that might actually require you to examine your belief system, and a rational person like you couldn't possible examine his own premises, could he...
You are extremely presumptuous. You have no idea what things I value most or why I value them. It is apparent to me, you do not even know what values are, much less what mine are.
Except for the physical laws, there is no such thing as "natural law." Please keep your traditions of superstitious oppression and blind obedience to whatever outrages one's forefathers engaged in. That fits the psychology and value systems of Muslims and all other repressive collectivist ideologies and societies, and yours, apparently as well.
Freedom means responsibility, something only possible to those with the full authority to make their own choices, using their own minds, not surrendering their minds to stupid tradition and arrogant authority.
