chris250 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Lately I have encountered a few women who have what you might call a "messiah" complex. I've been craving the kind of relationship where I fear (reverrence) my girlfriend like a goddess. If she has a compassionate heart & love for people then she deserves to be put on that pedastool. If she's the type of person who is optimistic and looks for the best in people then I see her as a goddess who should be worshiped. I think some women are just too good for this world and those are the women that need a man's worship.
IrishCarBomb Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Doesn't one of those Ten Commandments say something about false idols?
V.Vixen Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I wouldn't want to be put on a pedestal. I think once you are placed that high you are inevitably going to let the person down eventually. I wouldn't want to disappoint my SO to that extent. I am human and you can love me and treat me wonderfully, but I don't want to be viewed as 'perfect', because, well, it doesn't exist.
Lovelybird Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 What if one day you find out one major fault she has, would you become to hate her instead?
Author chris250 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 You are perfect in the eyes of God so yes I believe perfection exists.
Author chris250 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 What if one day you find out one major fault she has, would you become to hate her instead? Faults are subjective. What someone else might perceive as a fault in her might be what I perceive as perfect. Would I hate her if I perceived a major fault in her one day? Not really. I might get upset for awhile and then get over it in time. I'd rather keep my mind occupied on the good qualities she has.
Author chris250 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 Doesn't one of those Ten Commandments say something about false idols? Sure but that can be interpreted many ways. I see God in all people and in all things. I believe God is all in all.
V.Vixen Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 God did not create people to be perfect. He created us to be human, and humans are imperfect and make mistakes.
Angel1111 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I predict that within a short amount of time, you'll start taking her kindness for granted and start treating her like crap as soon as she falls off the pedestal for whatever reason. Sorry, I've just seen it happen too many times where men take kindness, compassion and sweetness for granted and treat is as an excuse to walk all over them. The things they love and admire in the beginning become the things they criticize you for. If it's the real thing and you continue to love and cherish those qualities, then I'm happy for you. You'll be one in a million.
MN randomguy Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Sure but that can be interpreted many ways. I see God in all people and in all things. I believe God is all in all. But, we are fallen man. So, every woman you meet here on earth is imperfect. I understand wanting that person that is stand-up and won't disappoint like others in your life. However, its good you realize it. I can't stand the "Messiah Complex" So, I hope that they wind-up with you:p I don't believe that there are perfect people. Only those who pretend that they are perfect and those who are delusional.
alphamale Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I think some women are just too good for this world and those are the women that need a man's worship. i haven't met one of them yet...
Woggle Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 You will learn when a woman crushes your heart.

I think some women are just too good for this world and those are the women that need a man's worship. If you glorify someone you do them no favours. because the moment they slip up, they fall so far in your eyes, they shatter your confidence. And that would be your fault, not theirs. Elevating someone to the status that you believe they're a manifestation of God's perfect love is playing with fire (and brimstone). besides, the whole perfection in people is that they're not perfect. And I'm sorry - It's "Pedestal". Not "pedastool"....
carhill Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I think some women are just too good for this world and those are the women that need a man's worship. Whoa....reality check. I've heard serial killers say the same thing. Anyway, too much religion in this thread for this altar boy....good luck with that
canigetanswers Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 how about..their flaws make them perfect? LOL
LovieDove24 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I think you are confusing the term "worship" with "loving." You can certainly love a person, flaws and all. You can treat them with unselfish kindness, respect and honor. This is love. But humans are not to be worshiped. We are all flawed, all make awful mistakes, and all take others for granted. It is in our innate nature to dissapoint others from time to time.
Author chris250 Posted December 26, 2008 Author Posted December 26, 2008 My religion tells me that I should be intimidated by women.
Tony T Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 I think some women are just too good for this world and those are the women that need a man's worship. So could you possibly tell me where you have observed these women and could you put in a good word for me?
Trialbyfire Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 Whoa....reality check. I've heard serial killers say the same thing. Truthfully speaking, comments like that would make me run for the hills. Pedestals are damn uncomfortable.
kashmir Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 My religion tells me that I should be intimidated by women. Oh, so you're part of the Church of Satan? Last I checked, women are the spawns of Satan.
