Re: FT on Anglo Disease (4.00 / 7)

I concur.. he is scared.. it shows in a kind of inconscious way, the notions, the justifications when there is no need, the construction of some sentences.. it show he is worried in a very peculiar way... worried that a particualr world view will not be relevant any more to expalin with its narrative what is deepemd as a fundamental fact..

These kind of worries are the definition of being scare to death.

A pleasure

Re: FT on Anglo Disease (4.00 / 6)

For those who believe that "reality" just is, as opposed to being an ongoing social construction, having your world view fall apart is the same as having your world fall apart. If one believes that "reality" is created by God, fundamental changes can be seen as evil triumphant or as being a curse inflicted by God.

Re: FT on Anglo Disease (4.00 / 3)

Absolutely.. Dead on.

he is scared because his world is falling apart....the belief -system of a fundamentalist is more difficult to change...since evil triumphant and curse are very powerful explaining principles.
