Understanding Religion's Relationship To Human Social Systems

  ​   [First draft]  [This is NOT an indictment of all Christians. This is about a very specific tactic; a tactic which is only employed by the kinds of people I call "dark souls". Plenty of Christians are bright souls. They are the kinds of Christians who would never behave like a presupper. They're still in a factually-wrong religion. But plenty of decent people are in factually-wrong religions. Factually wrong shit happens sometimes; even to the best of us] If you understand the entire purpose of when narcissists do the thing called "gas lighting", then you'll understand the inspiration and purpose for presuppositional apologetics. It's meant as a shortcut for the process. It goes 'right for the throat' of their mark's confidence in their own cognitive faculties, ... while completely pre-invalidating anything their intended victim could ever offer to challenge the Narcissist.

"they usually explode and burn" -- Just because you assume and imagine that doesn't make it real. -------------------------------- 3.
