1/3rd of Americans are Evangelical, and Evangelical Protestantism is a cult. We just don’t think of it as one because it’s so normalized. However, it follows the B.I.T.E. model of cult dynamics.

Evangelism teaches its followers to always maintain states of bliss and ecstasy for Jesus. What this does is condition the brain to always operate out of less-evolved parts; areas that are responsible for more primal emotions like euphoria, anger, and fear. Because of how we’ve evolved to survive, the brain will actually shut down our higher functioning—including critical thinking skills—in favor of these primal emotions, when they’re active.

Always feeling bliss = never questioning or feeling doubt. Evangelicals may actually fear the thoughts that do originate from their higher brain-parts because they think it’s the devil tempting them away from their religion. They’ll engage in self-indoctrination techniques to make this stop.

This creates a cognitive dissonance so great that many Americans have no separation between how they feel and what they believe. This is really bad because their minds have literally no defense against undue influence. They’ll vote for the dude who hyped them up enough. They’ll buy into the conspiracy theory that excites them the most. They’ll side with whatever gets the best reaction out of them, and getting a rise out of people is super easy to do.

Cult conditioning has nothing to do with how smart or dumb people are. You can condition literally any brain with the right time and environment.

The best and most immediate answer I could come up with, and the one I've stuck to, is telling people that America is a country defined by being a haven for cults and religious extremists since its inception. And people are always like "god that makes so much sense."

Here he is all grown up!

His name is Maui and he still takes a pat like no phrawblem

But he’s still giving you the stink eye because he’s actually a New York bodega cat at Willy’s Deli in Brooklyn and you know how New Yorkers are about Bostonians

That’s a great cat right there

1: The dragon is absolutely horrified as the mint engulfs and takes over its den. Its gold? Mint. Its gems and goblets? Mint. Its stores of wine? Mint. No matter what they do they can’t get rid of it.

I had to double check and make sure this wasn’t another April Fool’s Joke. LOL, maybe my dream of a Meg-ita musical will finally come true.

Hi everyone! This is the first time ever that I’m attempting to make an artbook, I call this one Redbeard. Why Redbeard, because everything inside is about bbc sherlock and johnlock xD 

anyway in its content, I will include almost all of my sherlock artworks, plus photoshop tutorials on how I created those artworks, commentaries and more.

Printing a book is expensive which is why I’m using Kickstarter to get the funds!

Support my Artbook!

It’s always been my dream to make an artbook but I never do because I’m always critical of my art and no one will want it and then I succumb to my own fears. But not this time, I’m just gonna go all in and there’s no harm in trying  

I hope you support my project! Please help me to  signal boost this by reblogging and sharing this project on other social media. Every reblog helps! :D

Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day

On Tuesday my mom was rushed down to a hospital an hour and a half away. They thought she had a stroke but it turns out she has an infection somewhere around her brain. They aren’t certain. when I arrived this morning things had taken a turn for the worse and she was sent to ICU and placed on a ventilator and I don’t really know if she’s going to make it.

Any and all money will go towards gas money to see her, any bills for her, and any funeral expenses if it comes down to that.

Please this is really important to me. My mom is my rock, she’s really all I got and I’d like to be able to see her without worry of running out of gas. This is really important to my mom is really important to me.

destroy the idea that bi/pan people are better than gay ones because ‘hearts not parts’ or because they fall in love with ‘souls instead of just bodies’.

my attraction is not narrow-minded or shallow because it’s exclusive to women. your sexuality is not greedy or selfish because it isn’t exclusive to one sex.

no one’s sexuality is superior and no one’s is lesser. don’t be an asshole.
