Christians are naive and thats why they think they can do no wrong.
Just a random thought i had at work, but i feel like christians (at least the ones around me) dont really carry the weight of what it takes to be human. Maybe its because of my ADHD or depression personally but ive become someone I dont really recognize. Thinking on my past actions and how i treat people really opened my eyes to knowing a lot of the times I thought i was right, i was actually wrong. Its taken a toll on me and made my diagnosis worse than it was before and ive been spiraling.
Realizing this also helped me realize something else. The majority of my family would consider themselves as Christians. Getting advice from them when i was younger it felt like they had “all the answers” maybe because they were older, maybe not. I also came to the conclusion that i think their happiness/peace stems from the fact that they dont actually blame themselves for the wrong things they do.
More often than not they would blame themselves things they did on “spirits” and “delusional” thoughts that they had to talk to god about removing from their minds. They were never actually the problem but some other being controlling their minds.
Honestly it makes sense on how my dad (someone who abused me throughout my childhood) didnt see anything wrong with what he did. I dont wanna turn this into a vent session but honestly it makes sense on why they think they’re above the rest of the general population. They think they’re honestly good people who were “attacked” and not the people doing the attacking. My new life has been on a lot of self reflection on how i can enjoy life and be a better person to the people closest to me and not just the neighbor who’s story i dont know. Christians tend to turn their nose up if they know more about you and especially if they know you’re not a Christian yourself.
Now i know this isn’t true for every christian. I also know there are extremists of every group, but the entirety of Christianity is pretty much built on making sure not to critically think, don’t ask tough questions, do this just because but also don’t do that just because. No one really questions why they believe in god, they use blind faith as a scare tactic to recruit new members.
Again, maybe i’m reaching here but i think a lot of their happiness is false under the guise of being “naive” to themselves. I wont be offended by anyone in disagreement because i feel like the only place i can voice my opinion on things like this IS here, majority of the people around me don’t care for introspection in the ways i do and tend to be offended when i have these discussions.
