    The belief in an invisible and unproven imaginary father IS a mental health problem.

    I work in Mental Health and I believe a lot of people whom I work with are even more mentally ill because of their beliefs and their fear of God. I always say to myself when I work with some of our poor, vulnerable and ill people in our society I think why???, Maybe one day I'll find out, then again maybe not, Drew
    PS Was also told that because I was an empathic, patient and compassionate person that this was not enough to get me into heaven - felt a bit deflated after that conversation hahaha, and I thought I was doing good pmsl. Don't want to believe in a God whom does not see compassion, empathy as a positive, Drew

    They tell you to pray it away, which is complete bullshit. My mother is a solid Christian that prays all the time and her depression isn't gone..SURPRISE, its bullshit, like I said.

    Christianity has no way to deal with mental health. Remember, Christians killed the Pagans/Druids for using natural herbs and plants to cure. They did the same to medicine women and burned them all at the stake. Native children were stolen and put into residential schools to force feed Christianity and not learn the healing medicines of plants and herbs. How many secrets have been killed off?

    What I have never understood is that if God did indeed create everything why would he put plants on this earth that can heal people if we are not allowed to use them for medicine?
