The Great Window

Yesterday I was meeting with a customer for an upcoming event, and the topic of a hyperkondreact step mother became a part of the conversation. The client said, "Don't freak out if she faints or needs to go to the hospital; it's not real". I honestly did not know what a hyperkondreact was prior to then, but I am definitely familiar with the concept.

From what I understand, it is similar to people who suffer from bulimia. They're mind tells them something that is contrary to the natural, and factual evidence, which is: they are not fat, nor is the hyperkondreact having an allergic reaction to something, but they have thoroughly convinced themselves otherwise.

I feel an extreme sense of empathy for the unfortunate people who have experienced this degree of self deception. I wish there was a way to persuade everyone out of these types of mindsets, but I am afraid some people have become addicted to these perspectives and are in captive to the cycles.

The most widespread phenomenon of this sort in my opinion is what I call, "The Great Window". That's right, you guessed it, Christianity at it's finest!
I believe this religion produces the same affects as any other self deceptive and destructive psychology on the market. Through the power of suggestion, manipulation, acceptance and other various influences, the belief system has the ability to completely alter one's perspective.

Maybe I should share my own story which would give me the credentials to speak on the issue, (it seems most people want you to make them think you know what your talking about, before they can respect it as valid), but not today, we will have to do that another time. But I promise you, I have been inside the camp, and understand the bottom line evangelical fundamental concepts with clarity.

Anyhow, I consider this to be The Great Window because when you accept this worldview as reality, there is little or no chance that you will ever be able to see though another prospective due to the power of having answers to life's questions that The Great Window supplies without end.

Just like with the suffering bulimic when you try to communicate that they really are not over sized, the response is similar to the suffering christian that is convinced they are flawed and full of sin. Although there are many different doctrines within the christian community, you will find that one of the most common themes is the view that we are: born under condemnation, tainted with sin, and separated from God until there is an intellectual conversion through the belief in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

If you were to try to tell a christian that we as humans are NOT separated from God, are NOT full of sin, and do NOT need a savior in the first place, I'm sure you would receive a ear load of reasons why you are out of your mind and need to repent and get saved!

In my opinion these are diseases that have infected the minds of millions if not billions and has created much destruction to the minds, emotions, and hearts of the many and it is truly my desire to help people see differently so that we can somehow someway get along with each other better on this planet.

I wish I could remain unbiased in my writing but I am convicted that Christianity is not the truth, the life, nor the way for every person, and my thoughts are wrote to inspire that theme. I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes.
