| That is very true - some Christians believe pshychology is witchcraft. But a larger problem is society's condemnation of mental illness. If you have a chemical imbalance involving insulin, you get insulin and nobody looks down on you. But if you have a chemical imbalance in your brain that needs adjusting you are an outcast. So many people will not seek treatment and label themselves in this way.
And yes, if you are hearing voices and you are religious, then the voice is going to be God to you and this is not the fault of the religion. Non-religious people hear their dog or a demonic voice or some type of authority voice.
Since it's a creation of their brain it is going to incorporate the person's beliefs.
"...with like-minded people one cannot discuss. With like-minded people one can only participate in a church service, and you know how I feel about church services." Ayaan Hirsi Ali |
