NEGATING CHRISTIANITY Desecrating Holy Ground

With psychiatry and psychology�s fundamental ideological enmity toward religion and moral standards, their hostility is visible in virtually every word they utter on the subject. Nothing has been too hallowed to escape their �expert� opinion, not even Jesus Christ.

The following contemptible efforts to label the founder of the Christian faith as a lunatic, and thereby to condemn all of Christianity as mere neurosis and illusion, are provided, not to be blasphemous, but to show psychiatry�s anti-religious agenda:

"In short, the nature of the hallucinations of Jesus, as they are described in the othodox Gospels, permits us to conclude that the founder of the Christian religion was affictged with religious paranoia." �Charles Binet-Sangle, La Folie de Jesus (The Madness of Jesus), 1910

"Everything that we know about him conforms so perfectly to the clinical picture of paranoia that it is hardly conceivable that people can even question the accuracy of the diagnosis."�American psychiatrist William Hirsch, Conclusions of a Psychiatrist, 1912.

"One may disagree with Schweitzer. ...He takes for granted that the failure of Jesus to develop ideas of injury and persecution rules out the possibility of a paranoid psychosis. This is not necessarily true; some paranoids manifest ideas of grandeur almost entirely.� � Psychiatrist Winfred Overholser, President of the American Psychiatric Association, stated in the foreward to Albert Schweitzer's 'The Psychiatriac Study of Jesus', 1948.


"[W]e have made a useful attack upon a number of professions. The two easiest of them naturally are the teaching profession and the Church; the two most difficult are law and medicine.�
� Dr. John Rawling Rees, British psychiatrist, Strategic Planning for Mental Health, 1940
