racocn8 comments on Jun 10, 2022:

Absolutely. The dishonesty itself may vary in style, but plainly believers must embrace lying or confabulation and ultimately, rationalization, to deal with all the contradictions. And I'd content that this goes to the heart of the psychological dismemberment of Christian morality. Once truth is cast aside, everything else is also worthless. People agree on what's real or the don't. Christians don't. And unless you corner them, Christians WON'T agree what's real. Plus they layer on all these fantasy myths of demons, angels, Saints, visions, miracles... a whole store of horse shit. What might have been a cogent human being becomes a delusional psychotic. And the cults manipulate these psychotic individuals for their own nefarious purpose (i.e. killing abortion providers).
