Is Anyone Fairly Summed Up As "A Bad Person"?

Responding to the greatly and rightly esteemed psychologist, Dr Ramani, 
regarding her thoughts presented in this video:


My original reply has been replaced with this reply.

 My original reply was too long, 
and covered unnecessary ground.

This new reply goes to the heart of the matter. 



--
Obviously, substitute "Nazis" with "Narcissists".

 Dr. Ramani
 accidentally,
with the best of intentions, 
pulled a Kanye. 

Please note:
 
I actually do respect and appreciate Dr Ramani.

 I will continue to follow, cite, and appreciate her work. 

But I think she should revisit this issue.

Thanks for coming to my 
WhoTF is TED(?) Talk.

How The Cult Mind Of Christian Fundamentalism Persists Among Many Atheists

What I'm about to say, I DO NOT say on behalf of "team atheist", nor for secular humanists, leftists, or any other cultural niche. "Atheism" is like being a non-astrologist, or a non-Leprechaun-ist. It tells us nothing about what is true or valuable. In fact, my criticism of "atheism" goes much further than that, if we start talking about an atheist-themed "community". "The atheist community" is a doomed project. Not even reframing it as a "secular humanist" project can save it. Why not? Because, as a politically weaponized social environment, ... It's virtually identical to the rabble of Christian fundamentalist cults most escapees have escaped from. For someone to REALIZE they just escaped an intense system of unethical control, ... is only an early stage of their liberation and maturation. Subsequent exploration, discovery, and growth are lifelong projects. It can take many years to e...

They’ll Sacrifice You to Protect the Brand of God

[first draft]  In reply to that video,  one man wrote: " Why must i be respectful? I dont respect your purposeful misdirection. Encouraging people to seek God's revelation is not at all protecting the organization of what we now call the church. This is not at all a misleading premise. Do you have any idea how many times we are warned in scripture of false leaders, false teachers, and not to be lead by man's teachings? Have you actually studied the scriptures? Because according to this video i have doubt. Please dont discourage people from seeking God." - John In reply, I offer this: First, of course, it makes sense that since Bibles encourage readers to " to seek God's revelation", and also say to be on guard about "false teachers", ... A believer is going to treat those ideas as reasonable, possible, and necessary. However, the point offered against that is: Bible writers themselves got this wrong. So then appealing to Bible wri...

If a personal "God" existed and cared, there would be either: NO religion OR only one religion.

Recently, I posted this on Youtube: [ link ]  In response,   someone said: "If God were real, Christians would easily share consensus about the details. Analogy: If bullseyes were real, people would hit the exact same atom on a bullseye with the foremost atom of their darts. What you find wrong on principle with my example is just as what is wrong in yours" ----- Continuing the conversation, I offer this: Hi @aprendiz4 Thanks for engaging with something I said. In reply, I invite you to consider these points: If I entertain the popular Christian literal ideas about "God": 1. "God" designed the way the original human minds work. 2. "God" also chose which dysfunctions humans would "fall" into, once humans became imperfect. Think of this as "Plan B Design". This includes things like: * genetic mutations, * birth defects, * low IQs, * catastrophic epigenetic switches being altered in utero. This will affec...
