Narcissistic Behaviors Are Rewarded in Evangelical Churches (2 ways it’s obvious)

[@abcbcd1834]

Grew up Muslim, and I can relate to a lot of this. A LOT of what gets considered "strong faith" is really just performance. Virtue signalling. Narcissists are inherently better placed to push a manufactured image (a lot of their energy goes into maintaining personas/reputations) and as such, these people do REALLY well in a system that rewards overly performative virtue signalling. No longer religious myself, but I find I have so much in common with people who grew up as evangelical Christians or Jehovah's Witnesses. The cultish behaviours of blind faith in organised religions seems to be common across Abrahamic faiths. I think you touched on it quite well in this video. The KZbin algorithm really comes through with great stuff sometimes. Cheers for the vid mate

God bless you for going back to the book of Acts ... "It's a sacred text. We have to treat it as a sacred text!"

[@bryanutility9609]

I’ve seen this myself in the adherents not just leaders. Self righteousness arrogance etc… all ego pride. Pompousness.

Make use of the *Coercive Control Abuse* laws!

When people understand that the Bible as it is written today came from the Catholic Church, everything else makes sense.

[@TroyGrahamPhotography]

Avoid evangelical Christians!

[@jaredmatthews9403]

Christianity isn't abusive but individuals certainly can be. Jesus discussed how to handle those people.

[@st3ppenwolf]

The lack of rational and logical thinking as a requirement for arguing anything church-related is a strong attractor for grifters who predate on people's fears and anxiety. You will find narcissism everywhere though

[@jaredmatthews9403]

​@@st3ppenwolf just because someone can't grasp a concept or worldview doesn't mean they or the concepts/worldviews are devoid of logic. That's not a scientific way of thinking.

[@st3ppenwolf]

@@jaredmatthews9403 you can't claim your arguments are logical if you start with unfalsifiable assumptions

[@jaredmatthews9403]

@@st3ppenwolf if an argument is unfalsifiable then logically it must be considered if you're trying to be objective. If you have an agenda or dogma of your own then that's a different story.

[@st3ppenwolf]

@@jaredmatthews9403 If an argument is unfalsifiable, anything you derive from it is questionable at best, irrational/illogical most of the time. If by "considered" you mean you are trying to argue a point based on unfalsifiable evidence, I am afraid you are just doing what pseudoscience is and how dogmas or agendas are typically established. To counter dogma with facts in an effort to be objective is what must be "considered".

OMG! This describes a non profit I volunteered & worked at for years. It was in no way connected with any church but the similarities are shocking to me.

My Guyanese friend's so called ex is definitely a narcissist. I presume he is a Christian but judging from his body language and demeanor at our local casino,he acts like he's not a friend of God!😲😲😲😲😲

[@orangeandslinky]

I noticed, you never even spoke of the gospel as being important. Wonder why?

[@TroyGrahamPhotography]

What does the gospel have to do with this particular topic?

[@sircharlesfacehuggersworth1285]

WHAT 🦻

[@user-nd5co8lq4t]

does it hurt to open your eyes? what other goal can a religion have. "god" is a narc, he asks to be worshiped.

[@Pooch.12.3]

So does Satan...

@@Pooch.12.3 is it painful to have a psychosis?

[@hymnodyhands]

A narcissist can't back up his claim ... it is narcissism to demand to be worshiped UNLESS you can handle the responsibility of God's position. He can. There are a billion people just as Christians who can testify to His power to keep us, to His guidance, His provision -- and even in far worse physical conditions than we have. For two thousand years, the evidence and testimony is clear (see Foxe's Book of Martyrs for a long view). Now, He may not be handling the world the way YOU WANT, but, if you are not a narc yourself, you already know you don't get to make those calls as a mere mortal man!

It's true what I said there is one way to god and that is Jesus Christ anything else is heresy

[@mrm9684]

BAD ADVICE. Go to church. Seek out good people. Be true to yourself. Avoid people like this deer in the headlights guy. You'll be glad you did.

[@Arginne]

Go to a real church not an evangelical one. That isnt a reputable denomination of Christianity. Yall are a bunch of fundie heretics

[@outermarker5801]

Being true to yourself and seeking out good people often means not going to church any more.
