Dear OLO folk.

I'm wondering how you would describe the article linked here, specially the title and first paragraph?

http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/our-father-to-thine-own-pathological-self-be-true-20090901-f6vg.html

TITLE :Our Father, to thine own pathological self be true:

Here's my theory. God has narcissistic personality disorder. Stay with me as I indulge in two of my favourite pastimes: illuminating monotheistic religion's exploitation of the human desire to feel safe, loved and special; and my constant need to question and expose maladaptive behaviour. Let's pathologise!

Any thoughts ? I'd appreciate comments from both Christians and non Christians.

"human desire to feel safe, loved and special"

I think if you refuse to try and understand - (as you never could because you think it's funny to make fun of people with faith; which is the APEX of arrogance and ignorance) - people of faith and not slot them all into the same little pigeon hole so things just make sense to you then you might actually learn to respect people for who and what they are; humans, with hopes and dreams AND feelings just like you.

I respect your right to believe what you believe without feeling the need to ridicule you. How about you respect me that way too?

Well I do think He does have a bit of a God Complex.

He's been asked MANY times to lay off and the reasons why but still thinks it's funny to insult others who think differently than him. This makes him no better than the bigot, the racist, or the xenophobe.

Sociopathic, much?

Our Father,
to thine own
path-o-logic
to thyne own logical path ..let ourself be true:

here is mine
freewill begets it fruits
god[good] gave us freewill

so either way...wether athiest buddist or jew
let the vile in/of this world..not be blamed on god

you say..[opinionate]
your theory..[theo-wry]

God has narcissistic personality disorder.
[/quote]

as previously explained
your theory gets theo a-wry

either those who judge god..[are athiest]..
meaning they dont ..'believe'..in* ..a god

thus reflect ..only their own need ..to blame others
..things *others believe..

..but they think dont egsist..!
[thus are taking a cheap shot] ..in attacking
..what they believe ..others believe amiss..

ie are decieving..getting off on attacking
..that they see as..others believe

yet believing [wrongly]
..their diss-belief ..to be more valid

so who is more decieved..?
those having belief..or those attacking others ..for their belief?

yet they dont have a valid/logical reason
for their own un-belief

even so ..its their choice
to attack others

clearly athiests ..attacking god
..are just oppertuinistic
servants of vile..doing the work ..of their OWN delusioning

yet calling others
having reason/logic ..for their belief..as delusional

yes religeons are decieving
but decievers abusing gods love dosnt legitimise
your chosing to pick on ..those you regard ..as fools

the people are decieved..there is no doudt
but why pick ..on the abused*
pick on the abusers..!

[quote]
and my constant need to question
and expose maladaptive behaviour.
Let's pathologise!
[/quote]

yes lets

how come
you can abuse
those you claim ..allready abused..?

its sick..!

ask thyself
just who is proven..by his own words ..to be mal-adeptive?

you claim to be exposing..'maladaptive behaviour'
but reveal it within..your self

..in being ..the one doing
that able to be judged as ..
ex-posed ..maladaptive behaviour

you cant see the joke?
me either..!
