"Cynicism and Casual Christianity"
In this video I examine the causes and dangers of my own cynical nature. Cynicism, at least for me, was initially born out of my disappointment in casual or shallow Christianity. I hope this video is helpful in understanding why cynicism is mainly negative; I also hope that this video gives you some encouragement to move beyond cynicism in your own life.
“Scratch any cynic and you will find a disappointed idealist.” - George Carlin
“Scratch the surface of most cynics and you find a frustrated idealist - someone who made the mistake of converting his ideals into expectations.” - Peter Senge
“Scratch the surface of any cynic, and you will find a wounded idealist underneath. Because of previous pain or disappointment, cynics make their conclusions about life before the questions have even been asked. This means that beyond just seeing what is wrong with the world, cynics lack the courage to do something about it. The dynamic beneath cynicism is a fear of accepting responsibility.” - John Ortberg
