À propos de ce contenu audio

 Note: Audo Transcribed by IBM Cloud and may contain inaccuracies. This is Michael Hogan you're listening to religious expressions episode number 3. Social data is so complex in this day and age. In fact. Some advocates for social change. I'm not only able to indicate that they will be able to successfully make a change but they're even able to identify the time frame of how long it will take for a common social change to take place. This of course is not in violation of anyone's individual agency or personal ability to make choice. Their understanding of what drives change in the mind. And their understanding of what they've been able to do in the past. And how they were able to use that in order to drive what they want to make change in the future. This is very powerful and also. Very concerning. There's many forms of this but they do have a common formula that has been in use over the last 30 years or so at least. First you take a social norm which historically have stayed within time honored values with some exceptions and of course societies that have for cirque these time honored values have stopped existing. So the first thing that they do they take a common belief and they're perf portray a group of people living within that notion of their common belief and embracing it. But then the creators of this media entertainment are able to come up with the most innocent way in which the the belief could be placed into question. And then they show the characters experimenting with. A new idea. About. What could be considered. The normal or right or reasonable thing to do in this new but. Extremely unlikely lease circumstance. And so what they've done is at this point they've created. In the mind. The idea. That perhaps there are some. Rare circumstances in which a highly honored value. Perhaps. Could be disregarded. And just for one example imagine this scenario in which a man. Is stranded on a desert island with a woman or. Some choice of things on a woman. And of course the obvious assumption here. Is that if you're gonna be. Stock on an island. With just you and a woman for the rest of your life as you know at. Maybe that some justification to break your marital valves. Now what we commonly used to call this type of thinking is rationalization it's coming up with an excuse or a reason a situation a circumstance. In which we could feel justified in going against what we previously believed to be right and strongly identified with. But let's go back to the deserted island the scenario if you are stranded on an island and it's just you if you're a guy and and a woman do you have to break your marital vowels do you have no choice in this matter of course you have a choice and you can stick to the higher standard. And not use that circumstance as an excuse to break your. Covenants. That you've made. With yourself and with your wife. Now. If there is a god a great creator of the universe and the earth and everything in the air. Which. There is life has a purpose. And the plan and the things that really matter in life are not those things that give us pleasure or those possessions that we gain that we can't take with us after we die. And if you think deeply about it. Specially when a loved one passes away or a tragic circumstances happy circumstance happens. Most people will admit that they now there's something more to life and. We were created after the image of god in this world was formed by god with his matchless power. And if there was a great creator of all things as there is. Shouldn't he be able to tell us. A road map as to how we can be. Most successful in this life. N. meeting. The purpose of it. And finding the truest joy and happiness. As we live. And in exodus chapter 20 we have some guidelines about some of these roles that our creator has given us. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. The upshot not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of anything in heaven the shot not bow themselves down to them
