I believe the theory of conformity in The Brave New World society is completely absurd and unethical. The thought of having the same thoughts as everyone else when the mind is a very complex and irrational object makes this environment to be ridiculous. A thesis that i feel would be a good topic to compose an essay off of is the idea that if there is no religion and beliefs in a conformed society such as that of the brave new world then does this become there religion? Not a religion where we worship a godly heaven and sacrifice our own will to obey God's word, but the religion to worship absolutely nothing perhaps Ford that is and to base the religion off of the ideas that believing in what our religious society believes to be outrageously incorrect and to believe in the idea of diminishing the individual; that you are nothing more to society but merely a working hand. In the bible we americans worship in verses Romans 12:1-2 it says this, "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Is this verse considerable in the absence or ford religion bases of the Brave New World? Because they live in what they believe is a greater world... does this mean that there is no heaven? That they have no greater world to bestow upon? The idea of religion completely undermines the sole of true worship and insults the religion of others living today because ultimately we as humans worship a God that will provide all holy righteousness in his heaven once we perish but in the Brave New World, if they worship a god or Ford for arguments sake, then is it really considered worship when they get nothing out of it in the end... when they are not promised a heavenly sanctuary or any future bargains or promises to undergo? Ultimately, is religion existent in the Brave new world?
