Some Pitfalls I think religious people can ocerlook

[jennifer_bloom]

1. The pitfall of jealousy and hostility.

This is a hostility built around bitterness at opportunities other people have that they themselves forfeited through their complacency or wrongdoing. When another rises to claim what they threw away, they become jealous.

2. The pitfall of intellectual egotism.

This is when somebody uses their methods of analysis and interpretation to belittle and critique others because it makes them feel superior to others when they can find an excuse to hate them.

3. The pitfall of relativist piety.

This is when people are psychologically bonded to circumstantially contingent interpretations of the 10 commandments so that they view those who sacrifice physical expectations for spiritual causes to be disobedient. Like when a child refuses their parents command to lie and prays for them instead and gets judged for disobeying the parent because the bible says you should honour them. These people root moral principle in the physical world instead of the heavenly world.

4. The entrenchment fixation in religion:

This is when somebody believes they should be respected according to their seriousness and sacrifice and not according to their obedience and pleasantness.

5. The criticism complex of religion.

This is when people chose to worship the wrath of God and the alienation of certain people to God instead of worshiping the love and forgiveness of God.

6. The idolatrous glory of biblical historicity.

This is when people worship the material, physical, circumstantial and visual glory and beauty of situations in the bible, instead of worshiping the love and goodness the bible espouses at an abstracted spiritual level that cannot be seen.

7. The hostility doctrine of divinity.

This is when people worship a God who condones victimization and abuse and injustice because they do not understand His goodness or His love.

You used a lot of words to say nothing, kiddo.

You could have just said "Ones ego and subjectivity can sometimes make one sin and be unjust to others".

Sinning with knowledge is one thing, but sinning and seeing no wrong/not recognizing it as such, is where the real sin lays. Mainly as you will not seek forgiveness for something you do not/cannot see as "wrong" to begin with.
