Why Do Horrible People Flock To Religion? · The Mental Healness Podcast

• 0:00
  So why do narcissists love religion so much?
• 0:04
  That's what we talk about today. Y'all.
• 0:06
  We talk about we, we happen right into it.
• 0:08
  Because guess what? Truth be told, I recorded this
• 0:11
  video yesterday, went to upload it, try to put it in my editing
• 0:15
  software and it was mute. I have muted the video.
• 0:19
  I have mute man fact. Let me make sure they muted this
• 0:21
  time. Let me make sure.
• 0:22
  OK, here's your recording. Sound is on there y'all.
• 0:25
  You understand how frustrated it can be.
• 0:28
  I had to. I prayed.
• 0:29
  I was like, Lord, help me. Yeah, we talked about narcissism
• 0:33
  in religion today. Why a lot of narcissists flock
• 0:36
  to religion, why narcissistic people hop onto the religion,
• 0:41
  bus the religion train and pretend to be religious.
• 0:45
  Now, let me preface this video. Let me go ahead and lead this
• 0:47
  video off by saying this is not in any way, shape or form an
• 0:52
  attack on any type of organized religion, Christianity, any
• 0:57
  other religion, any like my Muslim brothers and sisters, my
• 1:01
  Hindu folks, my Sikhs, anybody out there.
• 1:04
  This is not an attack on your religion, but this is me opening
• 1:09
  the eyes of people to let you know why narcissists flock to
• 1:13
  pretend to be religious, why they flock to and infiltrate
• 1:17
  religious communities so much, right?
• 1:19
  This happens to so it happens all the time.
• 1:22
  I actually got this question on, I think it was, I saw it on
• 1:26
  threads. It said why do narcissists flock
• 1:29
  to religion? And somebody said, hey, because
• 1:32
  they love being unnecessarily forgiven, especially in
• 1:35
  Christianity, because Christianity teaches people to
• 1:38
  forgive, right? So in my mind, as a narcissist,
• 1:41
  you're supposed to forgive me for any and everything that I
• 1:45
  do. There is no leap there.
• 1:48
  There's no insurance. And out you, you're supposed to
• 1:50
  forgive me for anything that I do, anything right.
• 1:57
  I, as someone who has read the Bible, know that that's not
• 2:01
  right. I know that forgive, you're not
• 2:04
  supposed to be forgiven for anything.
• 2:05
  And I also understand that forgiveness and reconciliation
• 2:09
  do not go hand in hand. Just because someone forgives
• 2:12
  you does not mean that they have to reconcile with you.
• 2:14
  I as in as somebody diagnosed with narcissistic personality
• 2:17
  disorder and as someone who has read the entire Bible from
• 2:20
  Genesis to Revelations and is who has read the entire Quran as
• 2:23
  well, I know that forgiveness does not mean you have to get
• 2:26
  back with somebody. That's not how narcissists
• 2:29
  think, though. They think that forgiveness
• 2:31
  equals reconciliation. How you going to forgive me?
• 2:34
  You're not going to let me back into your life?
• 2:36
  God. God says you're supposed to let
• 2:39
  me back in your life. And look at you being a heathen,
• 2:42
  being a whore. I knew I cheated, but you're a
• 2:46
  whore. What?
• 2:49
  What? What this I was just telling
• 2:52
  you, this is how a lot of narcissists think.
• 2:55
  We think that we're supposed to be forgiven for whatever we do
• 2:59
  if we pretend to be Christian, if we go to church, if we read
• 3:03
  the Bible, if, if, if. There's a lot of ifs there,
• 3:05
  right when I posted the short video of this to my TikTok and
• 3:10
  stuff, I got some people in my comments.
• 3:12
  I got people literally messaging me like Lee, you need to stop
• 3:15
  attacking Christians. You don't know what you're
• 3:17
  talking about. I'm like, what the hell are you
• 3:18
  talking about? Nowhere in my videos have I ever
• 3:20
  said Christianity is a bad thing.
• 3:22
  I said narcissism. Narcissists use they weaponize
• 3:25
  Christianity or their understanding of it against good
• 3:28
  actual Christians. And we know good actual
• 3:31
  Christians, especially in today's world, especially in
• 3:33
  America, are few and far between the, the nowadays we have a lot
• 3:38
  of narcissistic people that, that have hijacked Christianity
• 3:42
  and put their own fucked up version of it out there.
• 3:46
  Willie, how you going to say fucking Christian that the, the
• 3:48
  Christians out there that are they're fake Christians are
• 3:50
  doing a lot worse than cussing. They're weaponizing the
• 3:53
  religion. They're just using their
• 3:54
  religion to cover up their evil ass deeds or their selfish
• 3:57
  intent. And they're just like, you know
• 3:59
  what God said? The guy didn't say that.
• 4:03
  Show me, show me where God said that at.
• 4:06
  Show me where God said that. People be making out.
• 4:08
  Narcissists make shit up about religion.
• 4:11
  They just do. They absolutely do.
• 4:14
  They make it up on the fly. Sometimes they'll misinterpret
• 4:17
  versus just on purpose to keep people with them, to manipulate
• 4:22
  people further, to do a lot more damage to people.
• 4:24
  That this is the mindset. I promise you.
• 4:26
  I promise you. I promise you.
• 4:28
  There are so, so many narcissistic people out there
• 4:30
  who just handle situations like this.
• 4:33
  I promise you, but don't let it work.
• 4:41
  Y'all don't? Y'all don't know what's about to
• 4:42
  happen. Oh rant the bubble.
• 4:44
  I haven't had one of these in a while.
• 4:47
  I'm back. Look, we as real Christians,
• 4:52
  authentic Christians, have to do better at vetting the people we
• 4:55
  allow into our spaces. If you see some BS, call it out.
• 5:00
  If you're in charge of a church, if you are pastor and you see
• 5:03
  one, one or more of your congregation being evil, call
• 5:07
  them out. Kick them out right?
• 5:09
  You were supposed to cast out evil, not just constantly
• 5:12
  forgive it and have it around the good folks.
• 5:14
  If you had one bad apple can spoil the bunch.
• 5:17
  You let a black apple, black hearted narcissist into your
• 5:20
  church, into your church or into your space and it they
• 5:23
  infiltrate your congregation, they infiltrate your the worship
• 5:27
  center, they infiltrate your friends and valley members, your
• 5:29
  church family. They will destroy it from the
• 5:31
  inside out. They will they will preach.
• 5:33
  They will become false idols. You see what I'm saying?
• 5:36
  They'll become false idols within the church and a lot of
• 5:38
  times they'll start disintegrating the church or
• 5:40
  destroying the church from the inside out.
• 5:42
  And a lot of times the narcissist who tend to be
• 5:44
  charming people get get elected to higher positions in the
• 5:48
  church. They just go from being a guest
• 5:50
  member of the church to lead in the church, to lead in the
• 5:53
  congregation, to lead in it. All right, we have to do, we
• 5:57
  have to have more and better discernment at picking out these
• 6:00
  damn monsters and separating ourselves from it.
• 6:04
  We got to do better. We got to have better leadership
• 6:06
  in the church. Don't forgive every don't.
• 6:08
  I know. Again, I know forgiveness and
• 6:10
  reconciliation are two different things.
• 6:11
  And a lot of people feel like, especially religious folks feel
• 6:13
  like you have to forgive in order to move on because that's
• 6:15
  what God says. You don't have to allow them
• 6:18
  back into your space. Hey, Brother Lee, use myself as
• 6:22
  an example right here. Hey, Brother Lee, God tells us
• 6:25
  to forgive and we love. We forgive you, but get the beep
• 6:30
  out of our church. Why can't more people do it like
• 6:33
  that? God said I need to forgive you,
• 6:36
  but get the beep out of our church right now.
• 6:40
  You can be forgiven across the street.
• 6:43
  Get your ass up out of here. Jesus is good.
• 6:46
  Oh Jesus is good. Then you, then you have your
• 6:49
  congregation. Because sooner or later,
• 6:52
  narcissistic people love to infiltrate these people and they
• 6:54
  love to use, I call it the the guise of God.
• 6:58
  It's like they put the God mask on, they go to church and they
• 7:01
  pretend to be a good person. Because so many people out there
• 7:04
  just assume because you claim to be a Christian or you go to
• 7:06
  church that you're automatically a good person.
• 7:08
  So many people are so naive today.
• 7:10
  They just think that that's this one, one equals the other.
• 7:13
  You must you go to church, so you must be a good person.
• 7:16
  No, those two things do not have to be mutually inclusive.
• 7:18
  Those two things do not. Those two things can be mutually
• 7:21
  exclusive. Going to church you can go to
• 7:23
  church and also be a horrible person right?
• 7:27
  You can go to church and you can be a horrible lying, cheating
• 7:30
  bastard believe the Bible says let he without sin cast the
• 7:35
  first stone. Everybody look everybody, nobody
• 7:39
  Jesus going to cast the first stone.
• 7:41
  It's going to be this big ass. He's going to cast the Rock of
• 7:44
  Gibraltar and crush us because we are all sinners.
• 7:48
  And I know people say all sins are created equal, but woo, sin
• 7:52
  is sin. Somebody sins.
• 7:54
  You see, somebody sins, like they weigh a little bit more
• 7:56
  than others, right? I don't know.
• 7:57
  Somebody sins seem like me. Me taking your Q-tip seems like
• 8:03
  it should. She'll weigh less than me taking
• 8:05
  your life. You know what I'm saying?
• 8:07
  Theft and death. She's not.
• 8:09
  Hey, hey, hey. Narcissists have that mindset
• 8:14
  where all sins are equal. You remember you lied to me.
• 8:17
  You remember you told me you were coming home at 11 and you
• 8:20
  actually came home at 11 O2 That would be considered a lie.
• 8:23
  You a Sinner? You trying to get on me for
• 8:26
  cheating and having four kids on you.
• 8:28
  You're trying to get we. I know me and you don't have
• 8:30
  kids together, but you're trying to make me seem like a bigger
• 8:33
  Sinner than you because I've cheated and I've destroyed the
• 8:36
  sanctity of our marriage by having four children outside of
• 8:39
  it and we don't have kids together.
• 8:41
  How dare you? How stupid does that sound right
• 8:46
  there. But that's how narcissist mind
• 8:49
  work right there. They want to convince you that
• 8:51
  this is how it should work, this is how it should be right here.
• 8:53
  Like the how things need to go. They want to convince you that
• 8:56
  you are supposed to forgive them or get over it or that you are
• 9:00
  equal. They use this to manipulate
• 9:01
  y'all. They use religion to manipulate
• 9:03
  it. This is why they love organized
• 9:05
  religion. This is why a lot of narcissists
• 9:07
  love getting and getting into and starting cults.
• 9:12
  They love cults because of the power dynamic.
• 9:14
  The bigger I get in these spaces, the more power dynamic I
• 9:18
  feel like I have. I promise you, you mean, I
• 9:20
  promise you, this is what goes on right now.
• 9:23
  So as you are growing and as you are moving forward, these are
• 9:26
  things that you have to consider.
• 9:29
  You have to consider the baby, the baby steps.
• 9:31
  You have to be able to move forward.
• 9:32
  You have to be able to keep growing.
• 9:34
  You'd have to be able to set boundaries on your religion,
• 9:38
  right? Because if you keep letting
• 9:39
  these narcissistic snakes in there, they're going to start
• 9:41
  biting people. The little narcissist, the
• 9:43
  little narcissistic snakes are going to start biting people.
• 9:46
  They got sharp teeth. They got sharp, the sharpest
• 9:49
  teeth. It was a biting people.
• 9:52
  You want to be bit by a radioactive narcissist.
• 9:55
  Didn't think so, right then think that you would, you know
• 9:59
  what I mean? But this is how it goes out.
• 10:00
  This is the flow. This is the flow I want you to
• 10:03
  understand. And This is why so many people
• 10:04
  know so many narcissists love religion.
• 10:06
  This is why so many of them are, are attracted to religion.
• 10:09
  This is why so many of them just absolutely thrive in these
• 10:12
  religious environments because they always expect forgiveness.
• 10:15
  They'll, they'll, they'll try to chastise you about it.
• 10:18
  If you don't forgive me, you're a bad person.
• 10:20
  You know what I'm saying? And the people fall for it works
• 10:22
  on people because people want people want to believe that
• 10:25
  everybody is good, right? You want to leave, believe that
• 10:27
  there's good in everybody. But sometimes you get to the
• 10:29
  point where you understand that not that all people have good in
• 10:32
  them, Some people have had it stripped out of them a long time
• 10:36
  ago by the devil, like the devil stripped the good out of this
• 10:38
  person. And I know, hey, I know God can
• 10:41
  work wonders. But so now you let God work
• 10:44
  wonders over there. Hey, God, I don't know you.
• 10:47
  You work these wonders and I love you, Lord, but can you work
• 10:51
  on them over there across the street?
• 10:53
  Can you work? Can you work on them at our
• 10:55
  sister church down the street, across town?
• 10:58
  Can you work on them? It could look.
• 11:00
  Can he have a ministry in his own house or in his bathroom?
• 11:04
  You know what I mean? Thank you, Lord, thank you so
• 11:06
  much. We love you Lord.
• 11:07
  I love you, Lord. But anyway, y'all, I need to hop
