Divine Hiddenness

[Nay_Sayer]

My counter-argument would be the Stanford prison experiment;

Zimbardo's primary reason for conducting the experiment was to focus on the power of roles, rules, symbols, group identity and situational validation of behavior that generally would repulse ordinary individuals. "I had been conducting research for some years on deindividuation, vandalism, and dehumanization that illustrated the ease with which ordinary people could be led to engage in anti-social acts by putting them in situations where they felt anonymous, or they could perceive of others in ways that made them less than human, as enemies or objects," Zimbardo told the Toronto symposium in the summer of 1996

The idea of which was loosely used for the 2010 movie The Experiment.


The basics of it apply though to my analogy; Eventually, the participants get out of control and nearly kill each other (Sound familiar?). Divine hiddenness falls apart because they can't possibly know what their deity wants now. Only what it may have wanted according to others saying so. They simultaneously want others to accept a being and don't expect any feedback but also here is a list of rules and regulations that they left for you.


Thank quob Pastafarianism doesn't have to deal with this.
