*False Freedom is rebellion against the very laws of our being
Remember that true freedom, is liberation to be what we were made by our Creator to be in the first place. False freedom is actually rebellion against the Creator, therefore it often manifests itself as rejection of the God ordained uses.
Picture an astronaut making a spacewalk, and really having an existential experience in the process. There is no North ,South .East, or West not even Up or Down! No weight, no boundaries, nothing but pure freedom! Ah, but wait a second, not quite absolute freedom for the astronaut is still tethered to the spaceship by his supply line, he is not quite 100 percent free not until he pulls out the utility knife he carries, and cuts the tether that held him back from pure freedom.
Now he is free
free of air, water, companionship, a trip home
this is the end of false freedom. This is the sense that for example the sexual revolution set so many free
Woman were liberated from motherhood, from marriage, from nurture, care, affection, love and committment! Likewise men were liberated also
from virtue, responsibility, maturity, love, selflessness in short the liberation was from humanity as God intended it to be in the first place!
