1. It is truly a cult.

That is all.

[SCantiGOP]

2. How can the people in that audience

live in the same world we do?
How the hell did Trump become part of their religion?

[okaawhatever]

[Celerity]

5. Who knew that speaking in tongues sounds like an Italian drunk on grappa trying to speak Albanian?

[LoisB]

6. And once more I ask, what is it about religion that makes people...

…lose their minds?

Does anyone who speaks in tongues, or anyone who listens to that gobbledegook, claim to understand what is allegedly being “said”?

17. I think you have your order of operations reversed.

They are not people with good critical thinking skills. It is comforting for them to believe that someone has all the answers. The same way children are comforted believing that their parents are all knowing and all powerful. It’s not until they begin to function for themselves they question their parents’ knowledge. These folks never got to that stage. They still need that all knowing person in their life.

20. Thank you for that clear explanation. Being a very rational person, it's...

…next to impossible for me to understand how adults can get sucked in by such obvious bullshit. Regarding those who are susceptible to it as never having reached emotional or intellectual adulthood makes it somewhat less baffling.

[Phoenix61]

21. Piaget described development as occurring over 4 stages.

The 4th being formal operations.
“The formal operational stage begins at approximately age twelve and lasts into adulthood. As adolescents enter this stage, they gain the ability to think in an abstract manner by manipulating ideas in their head, without any dependence on concrete manipulation (Inhelder & Piaget, 1958).”
It’s being able to think about ideas.

22. I spent 45 years as a peds nurse practitioner, so am familiar with...

…Piaget, of course. Just never thought about it that way.

Even when I was fairly young, 8-10, I remember seeing televangelists and thinking they were full of shit, although I did not express is that way then.

And I’m never sure whether to feel sorry for, or scornful of, people who are so pathetically gullible.

18. Sadly, I understand all too well.

After each sermon they sit around drinking whiskey laughing intensely saying, "I can't believe we make this much money just making up gibberish on the fly!" Hah Hah Hardy Har Har!!!

[Skittles]

19. inability to accept reality

they have to believe there is "something more"

[Initech]

9. How do these assholes still have tax exempt status? Time to end the free ride!

11. I was born a Snake Handler...

…and I’ll always be a Snake Handler.

[keithbvadu2]

13. They don't always speak in tongues.

[Demnation]

14. Grew up with watching this sort of behavior by "adults." Seems so completely loony now.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. And here we thought we'd seen pretty much all he'd unleashed by now...

[Alwaysna]

16. Religion or superstition? I can't tell the difference.
