muso,
I'm sorry, but haven't you previously expressed the view that depressed people should seek professional psychological help ?
And along with counselling, don't psychologists prescribe 'chemical' relief, of the feelings of those who are not 'coping' ?
I can understand why society accepts such treatment, of those who have a damaged psyche.
But i do not agree with such treatment.
I believe that such treatments [with drugs], poisons the bodies of their patients, AND, also then makes them drug dependant.
Dictionary;
psyche = = the human soul, mind, or spirit.
....I think you're being very precious indeed to imply that no true Christians have mental conditions. As a counter to that, I do think that many neo-atheists are in danger of neglecting their "spiritual" health. They throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Whilst I concur that wherever possible we should avoid taking any drugs, even prescription ones, there are certainly cases where it provides a person with the possibility of a normal life.
Epilepsy is a case in point. It's interesting the correlation between epilepsy and religion, don't you think?

i closed the page. I hate the fact that many modern internet pages
seem to have megabytes of 'padding', when the actual content [which you clicked the page for] is probably / maybe only 50-200 kb's. in any case, all of the padding in their pages is wasted on me! my dailup today is connected @ 21 kb/sec]
muso,
I think that everyone of us [humans] is psychologically flawed, including Christians.
I do not think that Jesus Christ was flawed, i think that he was healthy, and the perfect man.
But i think that i would define a Christian as a person who aspires to be Christ like.
But i don't believe that any human being has achieved his perfection.
hey muso,

Interesting yes.
But i don't find this surprising
at all.
....being that i believe in the influence of evil angels [demons].
'Religion' is a 'doorway' to the spirit world.SATAN wants, and is seeking to attract all of the company he can get.
And imo, he and his agents will do everything that they can to guide the human psyche to his abode.
It is a trap.
SATAN will
ensnare the unwary, the foolish.iMatthew 7:13
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Romans 6:16
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
