Exemption Mentality

A phenomenon where a person dissociates themselves from bad events that happen in their society, in the hopes that they are going to be unaffected by that event. This typically has a religious undertone.

Sarah: Did you hear what happened to Grace? She got robbed last night
Helen: Yeah, I did. Grace and that exemption mentality of hers...how could she leave her car unlocked when she knows there's a robbing spree?

A phenomenon where a person dissociates themselves from bad events that happen in their society, in the hopes that they are going to be unaffected by that event, typically in religious scenarios.

Sarah: Did you hear what happened to Grace? Apparently, she got robbed.
Helen: Yeah, I heard about that. It's that nonsense exemption mentality that led her to leave her car unlocked when there has been a robbing spree.
