some Christians need to be de-programmed from believing that they know what others think and from being judgemental.
The problem with this way of thinking, is sometimes it is the programmed who see everyone else
as being those who are brain-washed. How do you know which side of the fence you are on?
When you can openly see and understand both sides. The whole reason programming is dangerous
is it controls and dictates how people think and behave, without reference to things outside the
situation they are in. It often puts lots of meaning into groups and people that simple do not
exist.
So to say all people not like x are all y is clearly false. Having a certain point of view is a positive
thing, all one can say about others who disagree is that they do not hold this point of view, not
that it means they are all in another group.
So the mantra of one particular group is the world is legalistic, and they are the free ones.
It is close to the anachists charter, except it is clearly absurd as everyone forms groups and
groups work by rules, and rules define structure. So to even belong to a group is to accept
structure. What the argument is always about, is some pain or hurt that came about in their
past which is now balanced out with the hatred of people who seem similar to those they hate.
A common trait or sign of this going on, is when someone says, "You are like I was 20+ years
ago." This is a projection on a stranger without any substantial information.
And these individuals will tell you strongly, you should not believe you know what others think
and be condemning, while doing exactly that. But I wonder if they are honest enough to see
their own behaviour and words spoken, to see it is just blowing in the wind.
It is slightly amusing then their whole contribution is to repeat the same mantra, condemning
while claiming innocense. And I admit I do not know what pain or trauma they are running from,
just it is continuous and is expressed week in week out.
