Got Anything Random To Say

Post Reply New Topic

i have no religious beliefs at all, and i know that scriptures and stuff are merely allegorical, but this afternoon i thought of a saying that goes "the devil asks questions that the faithful can not answer"

then i thought of a phrase "those that fall from faith are those that wish to try" (to answer that is)

then it occurred to me that "doubt" is the reason that those that fall from faith fall, because they wish to reason things out then to re-assure themselves

then i thought of that old "apple in the garden of eden" story and found a similarity in the fact that doubt caused them to eat the "apple of knowledge", so they could work it out for themselves because they did not trust, and that is when the "ego" was born and man was cast out of eden and condemned to mortality.

so, in a way, that is a very good analogy to the formation of anxieties in a psychiatric sense.
people with no anxiety have trust that things are going in a way that bodes well for them.
people with anxiety have a lack of trust and then try to work out the minutia and find that they are incapable of resolving the matter and decline into a sense of insecurity and doubt.

hmmm..... interesting parallels.

maybe some of these old bible stories are ways of conveying psychiatric situations in a time when a consolidated norm was established for the expounding of such.

I like those brownies I baked!

I want more lol.

'There's a Nazi in the Family' written by Shelby Munro. It will make a great storybook for children. Good night!

B9, I agree with you. Anxiety and loss of faith are direct parallels. The same analytical processes can also create both.

I'm glad that I will only be needing one textbook for my Winter class, which be about ASL.

Carrying four textbooks in my backpack for my Fall class was a pain in the neck!

I certainly love to clean around my home.

Rewrite? Maybe.

Considering going to university though, I've not thought of that in years but, I feel I could do it as long as I'm able to maintain my self esteem as well, that there is greater resources available.

It's coffee o'clock where I am.
