(7,809 posts)since she was a toddler. It doesn't work on Oprah or any other mature adult.
The buy-bull also gives the recipe for inducing a miscarriage (i.e., abortion) and tells you how much to pay for a slave. Is little crybaby going to pull her hair out because she isn't allowed to buy a slave?

(14,173 posts)First they act like everyone should only listen to them and their side of the story, because they are the superior person here. Then, if an authority figure contradicts them, or a majority of other people, says they are wrong, they never pause, reflect even for a second, that maybe they ARE in the wrong. Instead they immediately flip their victim switch on, usually tears are involved. Poor poor me...I'm right but no one believes me! whaaaaaaaaa. Please feel sorry for me and say nice things like you understand why I feel the way I do, and you can see how I may even be right....
I know because I have a sister in law like this. And her name is actually Karen.

(2,690 posts)She has been raised to believe in her very heart and soul that the bobble is the word of god, the great creator, who loves mankind so much that he demands absolute obedience to his word. What that word is is something dreamed up by the mfs who drilled into this ladys head from childhood that gods word is the source of all wisdom and good and that to stray from it in any way leads you to hell where that loving god will spit-roast you slowly and relish your screams for all eternity.
So, convinced by the morons she listens to on TV, the radio, and in her church of choice, she yet also trusts and likes Oprah. But Oprah is saying things god -- according to this ladys brain-washed ideology, anyway -- despises. but how can god be all good and Oprah is good too but what shes saying will get god so angry hell send her to hell, but all shes saying is she loves all people and isnt that what god is supposed to be . . . . Its that Star Trek episode where Kirk causes the computer to melt down when confronted by conflicting demands.
Its a melt down. She cant reconcile the 2 divergent beliefs and is terrified that shes been on the wrong path her entire life. I hope she emerges from this crisis of conscience a better person, but it seems more likely that shell go back home to the applause of the ignorant old-testament christians who fucked her up so badly in the first place. Applause for standing up to the devil, doncha know?
