https://pro.psychcentral.com/exhausted-woman/2016/05/11-ways-narcissists-use-shame-to-control/

A weakness of a narcissist is their extreme hatred of being embarrassed. There is nothing worse for them than having someone point out even the slightest fault. Ironically, they have no problem openly doing this to others.

This method of casting shame allows them to feel superior while minimizing any impact the other person might have. It also serves as a way of discounting any future comments the other person use to embarrass the narcissist. Basically, they are beating the other person to the first punch.

In order to avoid the first punch, a person needs to understand what it looks like. Here are eleven ways a narcissist uses shame to control others.

The Watchmaker Argument - Debunked (Teleological Argument - Refuted)

Barry Goldberg  ·  Following Author of books on atheism and pocket watches Updated 2y As an atheist, have you ever looked at the world and thought it looks designed? Just over 200 years ago, an English clergyman, Christian philosopher and philosopher named William Paley published a book entitled  Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity , in which he laid out what has now come to be generally known as the  watchmaker analogy . In short, he noted that if one were to walk along a beach and discover a pocket watch in the sand, one could deduce — simply by inspecting how well all of its parts worked together — that it was an artifice that had been designed by somebody and not just some random rock. Thus, he went on to argue, we can similarly look at the complexity of the entire natural world and, simply by inspecting how well all of its parts work together, deduce that it, too, is an artifice that had been designed by somebody (name...

Contradictions

 ---- : http://packham.n4m.org/contra.htm Last revision: July 15, 2018 Major Contradictions in Mormonism (plus some minor ones) Compiled by Richard Packham Why are contradictions important?      Contradictions are a mark of falseness. If two statements contradict each other, then one of them must be false. If both statements come from the same person, then the suspicion must arise that the person is lying (or at least grossly mistaken) in one of them, or perhaps both.      If both of the contradictory statements are supposed to be from God, or from God's spokesman (a prophet or a scripture) then we are justified in considering this supposed spokesman to be fraudulent, since God is not supposed to lie or to make contradictory statements.

Top Ten Reasons to Be an Athiest

  The Top Ten Reasons to Be an Atheist (in no particular order) are: Drum roll please… It’s obvious that all world religions are the product of extremely ignorant (not stupid) near barbarians who didn’t understand much about the world around them and made up stories to explain things the best they could. We no longer believe that the universe is made of four elements, that our health is governed by the balance of our four humors, that the Earth is the center of the universe with everything revolving around it, that mental illness is caused by demonic possession, etc. Why, then, should we still cling to ancient ideas about gods? It’s obvious that most people who say they believe in God believe in the God that is worshiped by the culture in which they grew up. And everybody is convinced that their religion is the only “right” one. They can’t all be right, but they can certainly all be wrong. It’s obvious that the universe is just too vast and full of stuff not in any way related to h...
