RE: From Meth to Scientology - Why Do Some People Swing Between Extremes?
Yes, it seems common that people bounce between extremes to find the middle.
It is in part an addiction to drama.
It is also a part where our society schools children in black and white thinking. If you answer the test correctly, you are good, answer it wrong and you are bad. So, if your view of the world is rooted in True/False answers, than if christianity is not good, then atheism must be.
I never thought of it that way, but it makes a lot of sense. It also explains why so many people are so woefully willing to accept whatever the politicians or media tells them as TRUTH. They simply replace the teacher's authority with the authority of the government or the news.
