I don't believe that "metaphorical truth" is the right term for what the host is describing. He's just inventing a scenario in which telling a lie might result in somebody else being better off.
If the simple truth isn't a strong enough warning, then maybe going into more detail would make it more effective. Or maybe emphasizing the danger would help. But I still see no benefit in lying.
If I were to hang out with Jordan and Bret socially, after 5 minutes I would be drooling on the table.
Tis conversation is missing the word 'real'… I think something needs to be real, in order for it to be true.
The organization known as The Clergy Project is based on ex-members of the clergy … that for years had been non-believers, while staying in the pulpit … preaching as though they still believed.
The reason they stayed so long … is if they admitted that they no longer believed in the existence of a creator, they would lose everything … their families … their "friends" … their financial ability to survive … everything.
In the past, many (no longer believing) members of the clergy ended their lives, because they were caught in a mental trap … thinking they were alone in their confusion of why what they were preaching no longer made any sense to them. There wasn’t anybody they felt they could talk to about their confusion and feelings of utter hopelessness.
The Clergy Project … helps those men and women … by showing them that there IS hope for new lives … free of all religious myths.
Following is an old interview. Since the time of the interview, there are many new non-believing members of clergy that joined “The Clergy Project.” If you listen to the following interview, and if you so choose, you might learn to feel compassion for these ex-members of clergy.
