They’re trying to make every single “believe in yourself” message that people have ever heard in pop culture seem like the whispering of Satan. Think: Luke in Star Wars turning off his targeting computer.
They want all of that to feel wrong to kids. Because they are trying to raise a flock of subservient subjects. Christianity is like Monarchy for the mind. It calls on you to kneel, not to know, dare, strive, find out. Nope. Just kneel.
That sounds fucking satanic to me.
they have successfully convinced my otherwise genius brother that his inner voice is god. he thinks he has aphantasia, despite him describing his dreams and imagination to me earlier in life. he just feels left out because he doesn't have anything broken, not even bad vision or a single godsdamned cavity and i spent most of my 20s in the hospital. well, didn't have anything broken.
that is terrifying
I just gotta say, that is wild. Does your brother have munchausen syndrome? He's already jealous of you for getting attention from having health problems, it's just the next step down that path
i cannot begin to think of what is wrong with him and his wife without writing a long list of grievances. short version, when we were growing up, our parents kep me happily in his shadow. as adults, even with my disability I've done a hell of a lot more than him (the trick was to stop begging for parental approval) and i'm kind of worried i'm living the life he wanted because he's always hated kids and has 7 (good job SIL).
i only have like 500 bucks to my name, some video game consoles, a trike, and an amazing wife. rejected for disability because i spent too much time trying to get a degree and job and provide for myself. but hey, we have a hell of a lot of fun.
That's a good phrase for it.
