It is impossible to enslave, mentally or socially, a bible-reading people. The principles of the bible are the groundwork of human freedom.

Quote from Melody Lee, Moon Gypsy
If I should get lost in all the chaos of the world, pull your butterly net and catch me in the beauty of your love. Remind me of important things — friends, flowers, fields of cool grass under bare feet, blue skies above, rain on my face, and freedom… freedom to make a difference, freedom to be me. Pull out your butterfly net and remind me of these things, and most of all… your undying love.
Quote from Joe Klaas, Twelve Steps to Happiness
Quote from John F. MacArthur Jr.
Once I was free in the shackles of sin:Free to be tempted, just bound to give in;Free to be captive to any desire;Free to eternally burn in hell’s fire.‘Til Someone bought me and called me His slave:Bound by commands I am free to obey;Captive by beauty I’m free to adore–Sentenced to sit at His feet evermore.

Quote from Peter Kreeft, Making Choices: Practical Wisdom for Everyday Moral Decisions
Morality means choice. Choice means priorities. Priorities mean a hierarchy. A hierarchy means something at the top, a standard. That is the greatest good. If you have no greatest good, you have no hierarchy, you have no priorities. If you have no priorities, you cannot make intelligent choices. If you cannot make intelligent moral choices, you have no morality. You can still guide your life by your feelings or by social fashions, but that is not choice – not free, responsible, moral choice. Both feelings and fashions push you; you are passive. But moral choice is your own doing; you are active. You are responsible for your choices but not for your feelings or for your environment’s fashions.
