Does Pretending To Know Things You Don't Know Have Any Effect On Your Well Being (Physical Or Psychological)?

[birdie1971]

It has been suggested in a previous thread that pretending to know things you don't know leads to psychological problems.

“... I've recently read a book about religion, faith and all things spiritual in which the author suggests that the words “faith” and “religion” can often be replaced in a sentence with the phrase “pretending to know things you don't know” or variations on it. It works in almost all cases I can think of...”

You don't know what my religion is! I don't have an organisation. I only look to the Bible as my guide for life and I am quite happy with it. Men are imperfect and Jesus said not to look to men.

Naomi//Your post to Ratter says much about you and about your organisation where love and kindness count for nothing. //

Sorry my previous post was in response to this quote of yours.
Went to a party last night and I am still a little "not with it".

Idio, I guess that makes you a christian?

idiosyncrasy, //I only look to the Bible as my guide for life and I am quite happy with it. //

Which version of the bible would that be?

[idiosyncrasy]

Naomi@ I use many different versions of the Bible. It is only the language that is different, the message is the same.

idiosyncrasy, so do I – but from what I read you embrace the philosophy of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, even going so far as to copy and paste a question for AnswerBank word for word, directly from the JW website.

Perhaps you’ve moved a little sideways. The Christadelphians spring to mind – but whatever, I feel you’re being rather disingenuous.
