Pentecostal Violation of Social Norms

Pentecostal Violation of Social Norms

I was trying to put into words something about Pentecostalism that is part of my theme of character, and the lack of a serious system of morality within Pentecostalism, which I assert amounts to an anti-morality within Pentecostalism.

Have you noticed that Pentecostals have a lust for the violation of social norms? It is not that they are “different.” It is the active seeking out to offend society as a whole. It is the search for things that will irritate others. It is the constant sourness at normalcy and at people who are trying to do the right thing apart from Pentecostalism. This is another reason why they hate each other among the internal factions of Pentecostalism: they have such a lust of social violation, that once they have exhausted violating the surrounding society, they turn on each other and begin to insult and attack the dignity of their fellow religionists. They hold nothing sacred outside of themselves. They cannot understand traditional churches taking sacraments seriously, so they proceed to ridicule and attack the concept. It is similar to the criminal mind that takes glee and jolly in destruction. They laugh and ridicule the society around them in everything that they can think of. They will look at a good person outside of Pentecostalism and try to MAKE UP something about that person so their goodness and dignity are not really real.

Also, their paramount idea in their lust for destruction of the surrounding world comes from their idea that they will survive the “Great Tribulation” while the rest of the world is exterminated in a giant killing fantasy that would make Stalin or Hitler blush.

So, how do they violate social norms? How have we violated social norms when we were part of the system? I propose that this violation is an innate impetus among Pentecostals and is a reckless urge that they have that is seriously abnormal. They MUST have something to hate, to fight and destroy, even when there are no serious enemies to fight. They also do not have the ability to discriminate between genuine evil and perceived evil, and thus the attack on good people who happen to be non-Pentecostals, and even other Christians who are not a part of them. We also know that many Ex-Pentecostals on this board are genuinely good people with nice families, or singles who are trying to better themselves with education, but because we are trying to rescue people from the horrors of Pentecostalism they accuse us – without exception – of HATE (“bitterness” being a synonym in their lingo). This is their greatest psychological projection of themselves upon others, I also assert strongly. They are reading their own autobiography and their desires and intentions when they accuse us of such.

This is another description within my theme of Anti-Morality within Pentecostalism. We generally take a moral stand against Pentecostalism.
