Being a determined atheist, I have been closely watching those having leaning on theism. I find such personalities in confusion. The most dominant confusion in such persons remains whether they must perform or remain on mercy of God. Their thoughts keep on dangling in between these two issues, and when pressed on one side, escape to the other. To survive, they have to perform, on failures of their efforts they pray to God for results. When God does not help they skip to performing again.
They actually don't know how the results of their performances are generated, which are principally due to two factors - personal efforts and social circumstances. Since, circumstances are not under individual control, the results also go beyond individual control. For this reason, theists think that the results depend on God's mercy. Here, we examine some personality traits of theists.
Self-confidence
Living on the mercy of someone, God or somebody else, is good enough to lose one's confidence in the self for being able to do something on his/her own. Lack of confidence in the oneself adversely affects performances in all sectors of life. I have particularly noticed medical practitioners displaying 'I treat, He cures' message in their clinics in order to evade responsibility of getting results. Such practitioners must be avoided by serious patients.
Self-esteem
Feeling of 'I am nothing' is indicative of low level of self-esteem which is common in theists. They never raise their heads with pride but are ever prepared to bow before anybody, particularly those in pseudo robes posing as Godly men.
Subordination
Theists are happy to be subordinates rather than being the boss and taking decisions and responsibilities. So, theism blocks progress of the person.
Discipline
Discipline needs two basic things - clear understanding and following with confidence. Theism is a matter for displaying to others rather than adopting in practice. This fact is faced by every theist sooner or later. This makes them indecisive and adds fake-ness to their lifestyle and routine behavior. These, in turn, make the person deficient in discipline.
Individualism
Theism is rampant in the world not because of its being factual but because of the wide-spread conformism in the world humanity. People become theists not because of their own convictions but because their parents and social contacts have guided them to be so since their birth. So, a person is a conformist first and a theist later. This means that no theist has his/her own individual value system.
Thinking faculty
Persons who evolved theism also devised methods to block fresh thinking in the followers. The most common method adopted for this purpose is mono-tracking the mind of the victim through processes such as repetitions of certain words thousands of times. Such processes make the mind habitual of going in rounds and rounds on the matter in the same way and closed for a fresh thinking. So, no theist is a good thinker. As a result, the concept of theism remains the same in-spite of the humanity going trough rapid upheavals in lifestyles.
