Wow, that was an excellent post, and I thank you for the kind thought. I should tell you that my brother is rabidly anti-Christianity, and that probably adds to his problem. He wasn't always that way. He BECAME that way, over a period of time, after being diagnosed. And not because he tried praying for help, because he was never very religious. Your observations are right on the money. Your skill and training are an asset this forum. I hope you continue posting here for many years to come.

Trying to “make’ me cry, are you!

Thanks tons for your kind words.

Prayers for your brother.

I can well understand folks antipathy for Christianity. I’ve had more pastors abuse me far more than a lot of secular people combined.

But most people are doing MORE OR LESS the best they know.

They are eeking out a living and trying to get the basics done; get the dishes washed and most of the dirty clothes washed and most of the bills paid.

The enemy and advertising has worked hard to insure that folks in our culture are chasing too many attractions with too little time etc. left over even for sane thought—much less getting alone with God and HEARING HIM.

We have to really be healthy rebels just to stay remotely sane any more.

Eric Fromm in THE SANE SOCIETY asserted that

IN AN INSANE SOCIETY—ONLY THE INSANE, ARE SANE.

Already too true in our own society and his book is now decades old.
