Psychology is evil. I believe that for many reasons, I have seen one reason first hand. That's the drug issue.

Psychology is legalized drug pushing. I used to take messages for psychologist. Most of the messages were irate patients demanding refills of their prescription drugs. These people would yell, cry and cuss you out for their drugs.

I don't think it is a coincidence that the people who go on shooting, killing rampages, have been on these dangerous, mind alternating drugs.

Psychology is the biggest frauds known to mankind. It origins are linked to seances and spiritualism. The fact is that psychology is another religion which teaches it own way of salvation and has its own priests--the therapist.

Make no mistake it does not have scintilla of scientific evidence.

Agree with you. I enjoyed your argumentation

[eancarana]

I agree that the concepts, methodologies, and goals of psychology and Christianity are incompatible. However, it is psychology, not Christianity, that has the better track record of actually helping people. The people in the film rely on logical fallacies (the Strawman Argument against psychology, the False Dilemma in support of Christianity, etc.) and cherry-picked information from both sides, as well as outright lies to support their arguments.

Well said thinkingman07 . . . I'm impressed that you made a connection between Psychology and Spiritualism. Many do not realize that the issue between Psychology and the Church today is essentially identical to the issue between Phrenology and the Church during the 19th century. And I really mean identical, from the expertise stance to the notion that pastors needed their special insight to better treat or counsel people. It is quite fascinating and pathetically sad as well.

I totally agree with one of the speakers that stated that that only the Lord through the Holy Spirit could reveal what is inside a human's heart. As a Social Worker I totally agree and respond positively to this statement. People need Jesus Christ within their hearts. Yet, professionals are somehow "helpful" but only Christ can get into the deepest buttom of a human's heart and CHANGE the person. Something that all professionals are 100% LIMITED.

Therapists may never claim that their profession is the answer to all. However, alot of these people regard their so called "ways" on curing the mind of the person but if you look deeply on their analysis, they also make mistakes. So, to be clear on this,(To all people and not only Christians) why would you seek counseling to these people when God Himself by the person of Jesus Christ is Your Mighty Counselor? He is the way the truth and the life and his truth shall set you free...
