Why do Intelligent People still believe in religion? 13:Authority and Passiveness | GinaConspiracy
As a teenager I was extremely passive I was passive in every area except in two areas
One was in science and being right and 2 in talking about how great my god was I completely followed god and looked at science as a true way to show proof of god's existence as I had been told by my church and parents In an intellectual or religious discussion I was a know-it-all, in a normal conversation the used small talk I was shy quiet and awkward I blindly followed the bible to the letter believing he would direct my path One of the things the bible seriously fails to mention is what do you do if you have no social skills because you were home schooled because your parents wanted to protect you from the evil influences of the world
Something that occurs in a second generation Christian is that a first generation Christian were taught to live using their secular mental constructs, they end up never teaching to their children because they now have the bible and then they can't comprehend why their child can't function in society even though that child is truly living for Jesus I followed god like a daddy who would take care of me and decide everything for me, I had no will of my own, only to please him and his greatness This is the sort of this you see in a Dom/sub relationship, which is at least between two people, and the Dom must actually hold up his or her end of the deal and provide Humans are social creatures A British study showed that everyone needs at least one hug a day for good mental stability, in late HS and pre-navy college, I would go for months without so much as a handshake
No one could relate to me, and I was so preachy and negative because of all the horrors, evil suffering and the knowing that people around me were going to burn in hell and my fellow Christians would rather hang out in youth groups and go on fun trips No sense of urgency and no connection I was utterly alone I was passive about life and was just waiting for god to lead me If you have a god, why bother having friends who will lead you astray? My passiveness, depression, cynicism and unattatchment to life made things so bad, I ended up driving through a giant fallen tree and smashing up my truck roof
I thought it was just a low branch Had it fallen the other way I would have known it Also had I been paying attention instead of passively assuming it was a low branch I would have known it After smashing up my truck my mom gave me two options, go to a homeless shelter or join the military If not I would have probably gotten myself killed some other way
I didn't mind it wasn't suicide so I would have been with Jesus that much faster and not have to feel alone I was pathetic and useless to myself and my fellow man, but to do anything about it would have been against the bible I worried not for the morrow and hated my life for the sake of Christ, as the bible told me to do But I was so shy and passive I could convince no one to come to Jesus and had no networking skills to build the funds to get money for a mission trip There was nothing I could do to stop the horrors of the world around me
Once I joined the navy I was forced to be around people and to get along I had to learn to be more passive about intellectualism I was also forced to be more active in doing things for myself and deciding things for myself During this transition period I stopped being passive and became passive/aggressive, which allowed me to be more proactive, but I was severely annoying and dramatic I was still depressed and cynical with few friends little social capability May stress levels became increasingly due to the natural stress of the nuclear program, which required you to have some social skills and be proactive or you wouldn't pass oral boards without a lot of pain and setbacks and 4 extra hours of mandatory study per day
This stress pushed me to the point that I found myself gnawing on an electrical cable on watch imagining the ecstasy of the electricity flooding my brain and ending the torment I was also 22 and had never kissed anyone which made me feel extremely rejected and inadequate, something I would not experience until I 24 because kissing leads to sex even more so than front or side-hugs and I was saving myself for a marriage that wasn't going to happen in my passive state I knew I had to get help I began seeing a shrink who began showing me how to be more active for myself At this point I was so worn down and cynical by the world, and the starvation for human affection and interaction I figured I'd try anything, even if it meant taking some authority for myself from my all-loving and all-controlling father in heaven
As I got better and better at taking care of myself and deciding things for myself my social skills went up slowly as did my ability to handle money, and my dependence and need to turn to god and prayer for everything began to decrease Which is why by the time I filled in all the gaps in my doubts about god and whether hell was real, it was nothing, I easily took the next step of dropping my useless god who had never done anything for me except bring me isolation and misery Authority is something idealized by Christians, especially pastors and parents The children either rebel or become like I was, a docile and empty sheep incapable of taking care of themselves Many people I knew from church still claim religion, and still take it just as seriously as they did in high school, as a social thing and a way to judge others with no sense urgency about hell
But to actually follow the bible you have to blindly follow and have no thought for your self and no desire for anything People like authority Authority and passiveness are highly addicting for many It is a form of golden age syndrome where their childhood was a lot better because it was simpler and they didn't have to think about complicated things in the world or see how bad it actually is They like not having to decide morality so they can judge if they don't like something someone does
They like to have illusion of eternal divine justice, instead of the work required to make sure real justice happens They go snitch to god about someone and see them get punished and laugh like an immature child They like not having to grow up and take responsibility for their own actions “Jesus will forgive me” and “I'm only human!” were arguments I've heard so many times in defense of not changing how they acted so they would not hurt others Not taking responsibility is great, so much that it is part of society for many women who are taught that they must be passive and let the man walk all over them
Men who take this approach get no where relationship wise and women who do end up getting used and abused and can't figure out why they can't find a good man I've had a few girls who got angry with me for not taking advantage of them when they were drunk and then not wanting anything to do with me when sober Instead of stepping up and being adults and deciding to have sex and discussing consent there are many women who find that a mood killer and want a guy to decide everything, which leads to co-dependency which leads to spouse abuse You are really the only one you can rely on to take care of you and you are the only one who can take responsibility for your misdeeds Using “I'm only a worthless sinner” does not cut it
Even if you decide you want a Dom/sub relationship, you are responsible to select someone who you can trust and you are the one to communicate what you will and will not put up with Authority is the stimuli for blind faith You wouldn't have blind faith in someone unless they assumed authority This is why bullies can convince other kids to help them brutalize others, or kids to allow themselves to be victims, as well as why televangelists can get you to give them their money They don't actually have any authority but they can appear to have authority to people who are passive
Politicians do it too to the fullest extent If they can't do it naturally, a good bit of political coaching and spin can make this possible Opinion pundits also are very good at appearing to have authority and they can bring on a whack job who appears to have authority side by side with a scientist who is not very good at conveying authority even if that person has mounds of authority This Authority trigger is very useful for children as the little developing brains have to trust someone to get information and develop their minds but the amazing thing about the human brain is that at some point, just like with nursing, it no longer needs reliance on others to make good intelligent rational decisions People who blindly believe in the bible still want to mentally suck on this pacifier called a holy book, and the breasts of their god who will take care of them
Until we can all take responsibility for our own actions and decide using our own logic and scientific research what is good and what is harmful to others, we will continue to live in a world where people fight and die over my dad can beat up your dad
