The Cult of Psychology

            Psychology embodies a set of beliefs about the nature of the world (everything is matter) and the nature of man (he is an animal).  It follows that there can be no such thing as a Christian Psychologist.  They represent incompatible belief systems.  Christians believe that man is at heart a spirt, a non-material thing.  Psychologists belief the exact opposite.  I know there are people who call themselves Christian Psychologists, but they are just deluding themselves and their Christian friends.  The natural relation of psychology and Christianity is a state of war.

 

            One of the primary principles of the Founding Fathers was the separation of church and state.  They had had enough of having other people’s beliefs shoved down their throats.  But psychology has evaded this principle by calling itself a science.  It has slithered under the radar of the separation of church and state.  The dogma behind psychology (all is matter, man is an animal, you think with your brain) is now taught openly in public schools.  Children are raised to believe that these are scientific facts.  But they are only beliefs.  People have a right to believe whatever they want, but they do not have the right to force those beliefs on others.  The Founding Fathers understood this clearly.  Yet psychology is being allowed to do just that.
