The thought police cometh.
How old is this “doctor.” Is he an ex-Nazi or something? Maybe he was raised by one. Study this man’s pathology and you might find the key to preventing another evil regime rising. If this kind of bizarre thinking spreads, the world is in grave danger.
This seems fringe atm but from what I can see there is already in society the will to have Christians excluded and branded as loonies because they actually believe in God! If you follow news stories enough and read people’s comments it is already out there. This would mean removal of children from religious parents. The closing down of non-complaint schools and churches and the abolition of anything to do with Christianity as we have known it. It is supposedly abuse - once you can legally label it that then it is all easy from there! If people believe that these radical homos will get what they want then leave us alone then they have not been paying attention.
This dork will recogize real trauma when the muslims calmly cut his secular head off.
When you say “a few” it suggests that you can’t remember how many. Is that true? Disingenuous.
I’m guessing this article has no mention of Post-Abortion Syndrome, sometimes referred to as Post-Abortion Trauma.
I can see the ad now:
Religion can be very comforting to some people. However, disturbing side-effects may include levitation, stigmata, visions, uncontrolled unintelligible speech, mood changes, euphoria, prophesy and rapture.
Ask your doctor if religion is right for you.
Go tell it to the mullahs....
Remember when respect for religious freedom and conscience used to be at the heart of our Constitution and society? I always preferred our American revolution’s approach to religion to the French or the Russian Revolutions’ murderous hostility. Somehow, continental Marxist anti-religious ideology has triumphed in the Anglosphere. When did this happen, and why are people such fools as to allow it?
*former believers*?
No. If they were believers, they’d still be.
I feel for anyone raised in a cult religion and the abuse that can happen from that.
However, that is not true Christianity.
These so-called, self-appointed (allegedly) intellectual elites, do not understand in the least what a saving relationship with Christ is all about. The fact that they confuse that with religion, demonstrates that.
Do you mean stifling like pointing out and identifying sin in our lives, how these sins can cripple our spiritual growth and damage personal relationships, and then offering a path for deliverance from a life of sin? How having a set of moral absolutes leaves no question about ethical behavior and treatment of your fellow man as you would be treated? Or does stifling mean you can’t engage in your favorite wordly affectation without consequence.... just askin’
A few years ago I went looking for what the psych community has to say on Post Abortion Syndrome and found they resisted the idea. If I recall correctly, they argue that abortion is only traumatic if you are “mentally ill” already. I came across an article by an “abortion doula,” however, where she admits that the pro-abortionists suppress all knowledge of the trauma done by abortion for the sake of politics. I posted that article here.

This article interested me because I see a number of women who have been so beaten down by the idea taught by their “pastors” that they have to submit to their husbands. The husbands are free to sin in the form of domestic violence, adultery, selfishness, substance abuse then repeatedly “repent” and demand to be forgiven, but the wives are to endure, persevere, and keep raising the children as Christians all the while. These women become increasingly detached from reality as the pain and instability of their family lives is serially rocked by their husband’s betrayals. They become damaged and are unable to put the pieces together.
But this author’s reliance on psychology as the answer is disingenuous. Psychology does not help with sin, betrayal or the ptsd these women are suffering.
What does help is separating from the source of the evil, the one who is causing the pain and the instability, and focus on healing, repairing the relationship with the children and advancing the best interests of the children. Focus on self, which is often emphasized as the key to healing is a lie.
There truly are many lies told in the name of religion, but it is our job to sort them out and focus on the truth.
One of my grandmother's sayings: Everybody's crazy but thee and me and sometimes I wonder about thee.
:o)
If shrinks didn't self-prescribe so much, they MIGHT not have such problems.
Why you loveable ole cynic, you!
Thanks (I think) LOL
You’re welcome. It was a compliment.
