In the beginning, God created Man. Man was diverse, some with strength some without. Those with strength began to take from the weak what the weak could not defend for themselves. Such an interesting creature, though, is man. For you see, the weak physically are not the weak intellectually. So the weak slowly group together finding more and more of each other.
What then do the weak do? What can they do to recover all that they have lost and how do they then, deal with this oppression that has been burderned upon them by the strong?

Simple, they recreate god. A god that pours favor upon the weak, and punishes the strong. This god is the weapon in which the weak reclaim their losses.
The weak proclaim their leaders as pastors, priests and popes. They condemn the strong for their worldly ways and create a law code in which everything that matters is what the weak have and everything that brings evil and suffering is what they weak do not have. The poor become saved, and the rich now need to work for their salvation. For everything that the strong and rich indulge in, now become worldly evils and must be repented of. The weak teach that the rich must now give up everything to be accepted into the kingdom of their god.
Then the tables turn, the weak now become the religious, and they find themselves the strong again. They call the strong the weak, and they see this as good. Once again, the world has order.
Ok so I've decided this blog needs direction. Sure its cool to post about things I hate, but is it really worthwhile? All it does is make me seem obnoxious and the like. I've decided that there's enough of that on other websites, and if you would like some links please feel free to ask me personally.
Psychology's focus on protection from damage is harmful. It has contributed to a culture of victimology and may be responsible for the widespread epidemic of depression in our young people
