This is kinda tongue-in-cheek. But also kinda true.
Is your god a narcissist? Here are ten questions you can ask yourself.
Frankly, if you can answer even one in the affirmative, there’s a chance he’s a narcissist. If you can answer more than half in the affirmative, then I’d say yes he is. If you can answer all ten in the affirmative, run!
- Does he need constant praise and adoration from you?
- Does he claim to be smarter than you?
- Does he believe he’s better than everybody else?
- Does he disappear for days without notice or explanation?
- When he hurts you, does he say you are weak and imaging things?
- When he hurts you, does he say you made him do it?
- When he hurts you, does he say you’ll be a better person for it?
- Does he always make you pay for everything?
- Do you feel like he’s always watching and micromanaging you?
- Does he belittle you, shame you, and make you apologize for every little thing?
Like I said, these are meant to provoke… not only a smile, or even laughter... but also hopefully some thought. So much spirituality can be very unhealthy, especially if we are suffering narcissistic abuse in it.
(Disclaimer: I am not a psychologist. But I know enough and have experienced enough about narcissism to be able to have an opinion or two on it. So here goes.)
