Why do intelligent people still believe in religion? 7: Power | GinaConspiracy
Hi how you doing we're doing pretty good ourselves We're gonna do a little song here for you called there's power in the blood And you know there is Imagine that you discovered all of the answers to life You would feel pretty important right? Knowledge is power
You would feel on cloud nine because you knew about the universe, and things that people who studied and labored for decades You would feel like one of the most powerful people on the planet Now imagine that someone began to make you question what you claimed to know and brought up some very tough questions that could shatter your beliefs Suddenly your claim to power is suddenly threatened and you panic Now now imagine that you hadn't discovered this knowledge on your own but it had been told to you by someone you trust, and you didn't know the reasons why the answers were the way they were, you had just taken it on blind faith
When someone questions you about it, you really have no idea how to respond, so as a way to ensure that your power is not removed you claim that the person who told you knows, and since that person is no longer around that person cannot be questioned You really don't have all of life's answers, or else you would understand why they were answers to life's problems You have all that power and didn't even have to do anything but believe it This is the Christian mindset and why many of them resist any effort to change their knowledge as the power they have in their presumed knowledge makes them feel smarter and more powerful than those atheist scientists who study for decades Power is probably the most dangerous and addictive drug that exist
The reason it is so dangerous is because many others are affected by the power one has The addictive part is from basically an acceptance overdose Look and Bill Clinton and Dick Chaney Both were pretty much the most powerful men in America for the past 16 years When Hilary lost the election she bowed out gracefully and did what was needed to help the democratic party win
Bill on the otherhand acted more like Kanye West at the VMAs and was not happy and very vocal about it Bill really wanted the feeling of power again Now that Obama is in power Dick Cheny is fuming and saying tons of crazy things he never would have said as president, oops I mean vice president Not supposed to say that out loud Astronauts have the same problems, as they have conquered the very limit of the human frontier and understanding, only to be dragged back to earth and forced to retire when they get too old
Buzz Aldren himself battled depression and alcoholism because of this Seriously what rush could top being one of the first people to land on the fucking moon! After that the rest of life seems downhill from there The founding fathers understood this principle when writing the constitution which is why they made sure to limit the power that government has as it seems to the tenancy to attract the people who crave power and will do and say anything for it And just like any drug, the rush gets less each time they get a hit The republicans did this, and in 2008 they reached the point where they were so resistant to any change and so jonesing for a hit of more power that they were delirious as to what the American people wanted and got removed
The power that Christians gain from their knowledge of the meaning of life is immense They dont fear death which is pretty powerful They believe that speaking in tongues, believe miracles and prayers are real and if they were that would really be a power to have They also can judge others unquestioningly for their thoughts and actions which is very empowering And if someone doesn't agree with them, they get the satisfaction of knowing the person will burn for eternity
Shadenfrieden can be pretty self satisfy Not only that, if they can get in control of the laws, they can make everyone act according to your understanding of the universe that someone else told you that can't be questioned Now mind you there are some Christians out there that do not see their knowledge as power and treat it with humility However humble people tend to be much less outgoing and they don't make very good sales persons Then there are some who treat this knowledge as a burden like myself later in my Christianity because if they question or reject the power they are given they themselves will be sent to hell
That is why it took at least 3-4 years of deep analysis and study before I gave up my beliefs You do not lightly turn away from a belief when your eternal soul is at stake or that much power is on the line The clergy like politicians become addicted to the power they have over people and have done brutal things such as the Inquisition, the crusades and the cover-ups of child molestations to prevent a loss of power and status When people point to atheists like Pol Pot and Stalin as it was the atheism as causing all of the suffering they created, it was not the atheism, it was the dogma and fear to the point of paranoia of losing power that drove their terrible deeds Atheism gives one no power
When we at least as skeptics are shown that a part of our knowledge is wrong, we change it We fully admit we don't know the answers to all of lifes problems and just go back to studying to find a solution instead denying there are problems because if they did then their power would send them emotionally crashing Power is the most dangerous and addicting drugs out there And now that I have made you and my other 180 subscribers listen to me, I feel overwhelmed with power, Go subscribe now and convert other to my channel, I must have even more power!!!
