Very well put.
I’ve come to be INCREASINGLY convinced with every such thread I read . . .
Whether Protty or RC,
folks who have suffered REACTIVE ATTACHMENT DISORDER
as I have . . .
seem to be AT GREATLY INCREASED RISK of
becoming INTENSELY addicted to a mind-set and construction on reality—particularly RELIGION-WISE—which is
—authoritarian
—narrow—hyper narrow in some respects—particularly in terms of IN-GROUP/OUT-GROUP dynamics, constructions on reality and sensibilities
—haughty
—self-righteous
—addicted to !!!!TRADITION!!!! as an added illusion of enhanced security
—increasingly fiercely bitter, resentful, hostile, wary, assaultive . . . toward those not in their little group—usually even toward others in the larger organization not members of their congregation or even of their little clique within their congregation . . .
—VERY given to notions and practices of “earning one’s salvation” . . .
—extremely elaborate, nuanced, prissy, exacting rituals, customs, habits, ‘in-things’ to be TRULY most TRULY “RIGHTEOUS” . . .
—ritualized, formula-ized prayers . . . transforming God into a vending machine for the truly truly truly in-group . . .
—that Christ’s Death and Resurrection was somehow insufficient without all the organizationally supported, sanctioned, herded hoopla . . .
