Yet Agian, Religion is the Opium of the Masses, Comrades!
FORWARD!!
Get ready for the entire MSM to run articles on this.
Unfortunately they’ll do more damage trying to strip people of their spirituality. Spirituality appear to be a necessary part of the human psyche that will arise on its own even without any kind of religious influences.
In a sense it explains why atheism and global warming belief have become religions in themselves.
There isn’t a single society that has managed to arise without some sort of spirituality or religion. Even remote isolated tribes created religion of some sort or another.
shrinks think they have the answers, gee, shocker.
given many shrinks are themselves seeing a shrink for their own problems,....
Some people do run from mainstream religious groups because they find them too stifling.
If they recognize such a syndrome they should also recognize. “secular trauma syndrome,” which happens when you. come to see that the world’s ways don’t work. The only thing is that Jesus is there to carry you through it, while those who have left Christianity have no one.
Christianity is deviant.
I think I detect a pattern here.
No, it's really not the "norm." But it does happen, and it does chase people away from church.
It’s not difficult to show how mainstream secularism and nihilistic Darwinism are as much religion as anything else, and that its traumatizing effects are far worse than those supposedly associated with Christian religion.
Can you say eugenics? abortion industry? Nazi death camps?
The breakup of the family.
Sadness, sorrow and apathy. Homicide. Suicide.

This describes all Democrats, as well as the religious zealots of the right.
Both groups mindlessly babble their given talking points without ever examining the silliness of what they are repeating.
“But mind-control and emotional abuse is actually the norm for many large, authoritarian, mainline religious groups...”
Many, if not all, atheist-run countries turn out to become Communist and kill millions of people. They slowly slide down into a puddle of failure. Many countries and civilizations that have recognized religions, past and present, are considered to be the greatest the planet has ever know. Romans, Greeks, Hebrews, Egyptians, etc. Sure, religion doesn’t necessarily equal success, but it doesn’t prevent it either.
Waiting for treatment for my Moonbat Trauma Syndrome. Makes you smack your forehead so much you throw your neck out of joint.
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.
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.
