The denial that this aggressive, egocentric part of their minds is within themselves leads to the belief that it's an external agent, to be found in natural events and in the personality of other people as well as their own. It is something to be combatted, something that needs to be driven out and warded off. Religious beliefs are very handy to create such a one-dimensional view of reality, providing the disease and the cure in a simple package. Honed over centuries, it meets psychological needs but fails when confronted with a reality that it can't match adequately. Therefore the denial of reality. 'Faith feels so right, but the world grates on it so much. It can't be that something that feels so right is wrong, so it's the world that's wrong'.felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749925395851545703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140917903722388348.post-17267556972745426712008-07-25T20:43:00.000-05:002008-07-25T20:43:00.000-05:00This touches on one of my harshest critiques of ev...This touches on one of my harshest critiques of evangelical Christianity. The central theme of Christianity is <B>guilt.</B> It's very manipulative. People like Ray never let you forget that you are bruised fruit. And not just fallen or broken somehow. You are <B>vile.</B> You don't take the first step on the road to life with the J Man until you realize what an insect you really are. It's only when you feel you are a caca-roach that you begin to see Jesus, so to speak.<BR/><BR/>That's the infection point.<BR/><BR/>Just look at the first thing Ray comes at you with--<BR/><BR/> <B>The Law.</B><BR/><BR/><BR/>Once you buy into that, you never get off that hook without a blood sacrifice.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Of course, they 'forget' to mention you were born prone to sin at God's command. And that changes things considerably.captain howdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965531249778332106noreply@blogger.com
