IMPORTANT
FACTS
1. Psychiatry and psychology
have consistently asserted that people should be salvaged from the chains of
religious upbringing and moral restraint.
2. Christianity and most
of the world�s religions have been around for thousands of years and existed
successfully without the use of psychology.
3. Studies show positive
moral and emotional benefits for those with religious faith and that substance
abuse was higher for those with no interest in religion.
4. Churches and parishioners
taking back control of their religions from psychiatry and psychology will accomplish
the return to a morally and spiritually strong society.
CHAPTER
FIVE Returning the Soul to Man
Brock Chisholm, co-founder of the World Federation for Mental Health, once
told psychiatrists, �Without the extensive help of psychologists and psychiatrists
it is quite probable that mankind will not long survive the fearful changes
which are taking place.� He threatened that the race will not be saved unless
it was freed from its �confused and distorted emotional and mental functioning,�
and urged psychologists and psychiatrists to become leaders in the �planned
development of a new kind of human being.�
Psychiatry and psychology have consistently trumpeted the call that people should
be salvaged from the chains of religious upbringing and moral restraint. As
a result, mankind�s chances of survival have been severely curtailed. Rather
than a better world, they have created more war and conflict; millions are now
enslaved by nerve-damaging drugs and barbaric treatments; millions more are
illiterate, and most importantly, religion has been subjugated and shackled.
Lisa Bazler, a former psychologist, and author of the 2002 book, Psychology
Debunked, states: �Consider the fact that psychology didn�t even exist until
the 1800s. How did Christians possibly live for eighteen hundred years without
psychology? They lived just fine. Do we know more about living the Christian
life to the fullest than Paul, John or
Peter? Obviously not, but Christian therapists think they do. � Christian therapists
preach a false gospel that contradicts Scripture and follows the opinions of
men who hated religion and subtracted God out of all of their theories of human
behavior.�
A November 2001 Columbia University study found that adults who never attended
religious services were five times likelier to have used illicit drugs and seven
times likelier to have engaged in binge drinking, compared with those who worship
weekly. Teens who were not religious were nearly three times likelier to binge
drink, almost four times likelier to use marijuana, and seven times likelier
to use other illicit drugs. Other studies also show the beneficial effects of
religion on mental and physical health, and on life expectancy.
It behooves all who are concerned with preserving religious freedom, to determine
the facts and to put an end to this betrayal. Something can and must be done
about these morally and intellectually threadbare professions�psychiatry and
psychology. It is time to rid society of their noxious influence in our churches,
schools and homes. It is time for responsible clergy and parishioners to take
back the reins from psychiatry and psychology and reverse the currently devastating
social trends. Only in this way can we create a society of justice, dignity
and spiritual strength of which we can all be proud.
