Religious Narcissism
https://youtu.be/XBTwD5Nmyzg
Why is the Church of Christ, and other religious groups like them, the way they are? This is a very, very, good video and worth the investment of time to watch it. It explains a lot about why people are they way they are, when they believe they have the only truth.

Re: Religious Narcissism
No comments? I’m a little surprised by that. The issues addressed in the video go well beyond religion and apply to many aspects in life.
Re: Religious Narcissism
Some of us don't want to watch videos, Cootie. That may be what it is. I'll consider watching it when I get some time if you think it's that good.Cootie Brown wrote:No comments?

Re: Religious Narcissism
Ya know technology has changed and evolved for a reason, right? I know you’ve heard the saying, “Ya can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” I wouldn’t personally know about that cause I’m still a young whipper snapper, but I hear some of the old folks don’t hanker much to all this new technology stuff. But I’m sure you aren’t one of “them” folks....right?Ivy wrote:Some of us don't want to watch videos, Cootie. That may be what it is.

Re: Religious Narcissism
I don't like watching You Tube videos any more b/c they are slow and generally time consuming with commercials and minimal payoff. So, no....it has nothing to do with my age (!) or a fear of technology. Holy *&%#%@ Cootie you need some social skills training!!!!Cootie Brown wrote:Ya know technology has changed and evolved for a reason, right?

If you want people to watch a video here, just summarize it if you think it's that potentially enlightening.

Re: Religious Narcissism
Naw, that takes too much time and effort. And besides that I think the title of the video is self explanatory. Additionally, you likely already know why narcissism is common among religious folk. So, you’re right there is no need to watch the video. Nothing to see here, so move along and try not to block the aisles on your way out.Ivy wrote: If you want people to watch a video here, just summarize it if you think it's that potentially enlightening.

OK I am trying to watch it. When I get to a certain part, and see that there are 14 minutes left, my eyes glaze over.

Re: Religious Narcissism
I just don't care for watching videos, that's all. If it isn't important enough to summarize, then it isn't important enough for me to watch, now is it?
I'd read an article, though, or even a book. Pinker, Shermer....

History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices.

Re: Religious Narcissism
You people will not watch a 15 minute video but you will read a book? Who are you people, and what planet did you come from? You just want to know the highlights, well, DUH, that's the point of a short video. You can read Ehrman's books or you can watch his video. The video tells you everything the book does and in a lot less time. I really do not understand your logic.....no offense intended of course.
