Questions people ask

What does a narcissist mean when they say “G-d is good”?

They usually mean “G-d agrees with me.” The words sound like praise of G-d, but they are really about the speaker. Their faith isn’t in G-d’s goodness. It’s in their own reflection. So the sentence tells you more about the person saying it than about G-d.

Do narcissists really have faith in G-d?

Their faith isn’t in G-d’s goodness. It’s in their own reflection. They look for a G-d who agrees with them, like looking in a mirror. So when they talk about G-d, they are often talking about themselves. Seeing this takes awareness, which means noticing who a sentence is really about.
