Narcissist and God: Love-Hate Relationship

Everything You Need to Know about Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Abuse - click on this link: http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/faq1.html

God is everything the narcissist ever wants to be: omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, admired, much discussed, and awe inspiring. God is the narcissist's wet dream, his ultimate grandiose fantasy. But God comes handy in other ways as well.

If we all fallowed the first commandment "You shall have no other gods before Me " there would be no narcicists in the world and if we fallowed the second commandment there would be no inverted narcicists! Problem saulved ! Easier said than done ,that is why we need the holy spirit's help !

As an "IN " it is probably a much better fit ,as I am use to serving ,glorifying, needing ,wanting to please, wanting to be associated with a higher power. I am use to being all things to all people so why not Christ like for Christ's sake ? As a christian that is what we are called to do. We are designed ,hardwired to seek God but so many of us misplace our worship and expectations and are continuously disappointed by man.

I will watch this one again because you have given me so much to think about ,motivation is everything to God ,no one can pull one over on Him! So thank you again Sam for helping me to become more self aware , because it is not all about me as it so often seems but about glorifying and serving God .

[Kathydrel]

So much of what you say is true in this vidio and I have noticed the cycle of over evaluation and then devaluation even with my relationship with God, but He never changes only my opinion of Him.I have come to the conclusion that God is worthy of my worship and it is my own lack of faith in Him that devalues Him . He is the answer to a Ns prayers because we are so needy, no one else can give us the staggering amount of love that we need.

@timrscott

Sure. God is their competition.

it's a strange observation that 'my' NPD has had itself baptised and goes to church every week yet cannot grasp the common sense of 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you' she just follows the first bit and does unto others.

[DaftAida]

@timrscott Makes sense; the ultimate narcissist destroys the notion of any supreme intelligence over their own! They are deluded in thinking themselves as say, 'the sun' around which all planets (people) revolve.

Believe me...Atheists can be and many are Narcissists also.
