Faux Profundity

So how many of you fall prey to faux profundity. Really obvious platitudes/cliches that are the spiritual equivalents of pop music.

I started a thread in the video forum, on a really, really silly rnb video for a song named “Real Talk”. Im not sure if the ironic effect is intentional, but if it is then its done masterfully. I have seen few things more schlocky than this.

There are the religious equivalents of this, where whats said has the appearance and is percieved as really profound and makes you all misty eyed, but is so shallow and often false upon examination.

Question is, how often do you fall prey to such shlocky, chicken-soupy-for-the-soul, standard lines of spiritual fodder, and do you have examples of it

Peace bro ravage

Yes I think there might be a few things that qualify.

“God became man and died for our sins, because He loves us.”

“It doesn’t matter if you pray to God or not, it is how good you are to your fellow citizen that counts!”

More politically …
“You are either with us or against us”
