Reply #90: Their psyche [View All]

[Doctor Panacea]

Persecution is part of their operational attitude. Basically they live in a world of fear, fear in all its manifestations and consequences.

They are metaphysically afraid. They think Jesus will jump out of the closet and "get 'em" for something bad that they have done. That is where it all starts with most of them.

They really have a lot of trouble relating to the world, which they see as hostile and threatening. But they cannot see that the problem lies within them, so they project it onto somebody else. That is why they are never happy. They cannot be happy, since being happy requires some acceptance of life as it is and some willingness to be at least a little bit flexible. They cannot BE flexible, because once they start questioning ANYTHING, their whole world starts to crumble and they are back in a condition of metaphysical angst.

They have a church on practically every corner in the South, but to listen to them you would think they were Roman Christians about to be thrown into the arena. That is their mindset. And it will never change.
