Why is the most obvious answer often ignored?

[Systematic]

As someone who is often accused of pointing out the obvious, I naturally came to wonder why I am always faced with this accusation. I have come to the realization that most people ignore the obvious to search for deeper meaning. I also noticed that a further search is often unwarranted. The obvious truth is often the only truth. When a person first appears to be one way on first meeting, there is usually no hope of finding a deeper root of their character. It is usually best to just adapt to the person that they obviously are.

That explains why I often need to point to the obvious. People are so obsessed with changing others that they will deny their first impression even when it turns out to be correct. Since I am obsessed with being correct, the first impression is often the deepest that I will look. My first impression of christianity was that it was slave morality. Jesus made that perfectly transparent. It is slave morality on its surface and deeper in.

When I want to know the deeper truth about a family, I go to their house, because often they take for granted the deepest parts of their own character, and it becomes obvious to anyone who is willing to notice. It is often this intuition of which I speak which gives way under further scrutiny. While I will admit that further scrutiny is sometimes necessary, it does tend to blind people to what is right before them. So I will encourage all of you who tend to become engrossed in a subject to step back and notice what everyone else clearly sees without even trying.

Could you give some concrete examples instead of speaking in riddles!!!??!

Right now you just sound creepy by walking into peoples homes and judge them.

It's quite true that our first impressions of people are often correct. The reason is that it's the only time we see them without a past, without a vested interest. However, there might already be preconception and prejudice because of something we've heard about them - which may or may not be true. Also, physical appearance makes a big impression that might mask what we later learn about their character. This is particularly true if their appearance is exceptional in some way - very pretty, very tall, very dark, very fat. I don't for a second believe that you can sum up anyone's depth in the first ten minutes of meeting, but you get a pretty idea of whether they have any. You get a pretty idea of whether they're humble or arrogant, original or conventional, energetic or lazy. Most importantly, you get a pretty good idea of how they feel about you - which, ultimately, is what matters.

As for Christianity, it's a death cult. Yeah, he did a bunch of preaching, about fishes 'n lilies 'n crap, but mostly HE DIED FOR ME! Ultimately, that's all that matters.

People have a right to privacy, but if you wish to truly know a person, you must know how they treat their loved ones on a regular basis. I'm sorry if that's creepy, but people tend to hide who they are except when they are at home. I'm not prejudging them, but instead I'm basing my analysis on how they respond to people who will forgive them for anything.

I can't really deny that Christians have a mighty need to have someone die for their sins, but that's not the actual point of the religion. The point is to subvert the intellect. They cry out for stupidity: How dare you actually be smarter than they are? It's like their on permanent topsy-tervy day. Truth is relative. Folly is the absence of blind faith. Whoever you idolize must have faults. They had no Earthly clue that they were not supposed to eat the fruit of the knowledge about good and evil, but God still punishes them for knowing it. What's worst is that they wear it as a badge of honor: We know right from wrong, and you don't. Of course I don't know right from wrong apart from the situation. I may be a psychopath, but I'm not completely without wisdom.

That's not specific to Christianity, that's true of all mumbo-jumbo.

This is pure nonsense and babble.
Can a big security company judge a worker on how he treats his wife, then oh he treats her really well now we give him a high security position handling millions of money!

..this only shows that your big kuku.

Isn't it reassuring to have a resident philosopher with a sophisticated vocabulary watching over us?

[HexHammer]

A big vocabulary isn't a sign of intellect, but good memory ..which isn't the same.

Poor sentence construction, a confusing vocabulary and erratic syntax are often warning signs for early-onset dementia. However when these are accompanied by extreme and irrational emotional outbursts it is possible that a far more serious and invasive psycho-pathology is responsible. Any person thus afflicted should consult a suitably qualified medical professional without delay.

We probably have one of those, as well.
