You make it sound that jk is john f.kennedy. and all along that's you. where do you get sucha cockamania idea. it's a farcical,fallacious
and illogical, statement. It just shows your true color or complete ignorance, and irresponsibility. absolute slavery do not equate with absolute freedom. How can one be free if one is a slave which in the literal sense is devoid of freedom and rights . Show me a slave, a very archaic concept and i'll show you a dumb *** like you. Almost all faiths or religions don't ever talk anything like that.It's just against their tenets of teachings.

Hello dear!
According to Aristotle, there are ideals, like Freedom! The term absolute does not play a role, in philosophical discussions.
Thus, Freedom can not be slavery, how could they be synonyms?

According to Kuhn "Absolute freedom is not freedom absolute and to tie the two together as one is to forget past inequities that brought us to this point. Don't tarry, go forth and sow the seeds of equity and give only passing thought to the freedom that is netiher gained nor lost."

Freedom from responsibility perhaps, but nothing more.
Science is NOT another type of religion. Science is a methodology, a process used to test theories, and prove in a repeatable way, if they are true.
Religion requires FAITH, It is belief without proof.

freedom of thoughts alone serves to freedom. it inspires the humanity to change, which is imminent in nature. hence slavery, divinity are by products of freedom of thoughts only.

I think you're a slave to your own ignorance.

"Those who take cows of deities go to the deities; those who take the vows of forefathers go to the forefathers, those who worship the spirits go to the spirits. And only those who worship me come to me. "
__ Lord Krishna
"Those who are devoted to the gods in thought, speech and body become united to the gods after death . And those who take up vows of ancestral worship go to the abode of manes at the end of their life. Those who worship petty deities and spirits, regarding them as supreme gods, to acquire magical charms, they join them with the fall of their bodies. In this way, their acts bear fruits appropriate to their desires. My devotees, however, see me with their eyes, hear my praise with their ears, meditate on me with their minds and sing my praises with their tongues. They prostrate themselves before me and perform all their acts of charity for me alone. Their learning is centred in me, they are both internally and externally satisfied with me and their entire life is dedicated to me. Whatever little ego they have, it is to extol my divine glory and if they care for any thing in the world, it is to know me. If they have passion and love, it is for me alone; and being intoxicated with divine madness, they become indifferent to the world. Whtaever scriptures they study, whatever incantations they utter and whatever actions they perform are entirely devoted to me. Surely even before death they are already united with me. How then will they go anywhere after death?
Therefore, those who sacrifice to me and have dedicated all their actions to me, have attained oneness with me. No one can attain devotional love for me without self-surrender nor can one attain to me by performing mere rites. He who says that he knows me knows nothing; he who flaunts his perfection is far from being perfect; and he who boasts of self-realization is dumb. Similarly, o Arjuna, all tall talk of sacrifice, charity or penance has no more worth than straw. Just see, is there any one here who excels the Vedas in knowledge or who is more loquacious and eloquent than the Shesha ? The Shesha has hid himself under my bed and the Vedas have turned their back by saying "Not this, Not this" and sages such as Sanaka became confused. Who among the great ascetics can hold a candle to lord Shiva, but he too, dropping all pride, bears on his head the holy water of my feet. Then who is there richer than Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, in whose home deities of prosperity (riddhi) and of miraculous powers (siddhi) work as maids of honour. And when these maids build toy houses, they become beggars. The trees at which they cast their glance become with-yielding trees.
Even their mistress, the goddess Lakshmi, who has at her beck and cal such powerful maids, does not command respect here. when she too, shedding her pride, served me with heart and soul, she got her lucky break of being entrusted with the duty of washing my feet.
Therefore, cast off all ideas of greatness, and forgetter all your learning. When you humble yourself before all your learning. when you humble yourself before the world, then you will come close to me. When the moon pales before the sun of show off its light? where the greatness of goddess Lakshmi or the austerities of lord Shiva pale into insignificance, how can an ordinary mortal enter my kingdom ?
So let him surrender to me the pride of his physical strength, his virtues and the vanity of riches to become worthy of me."
___ from Jnaneswari (Bhagavad Gita)
