Psychiatry is unscientific: "mental illness" is a myth. The Bible never speaks of anyone being mentally ill, only that they have sin or seared consciences.

The Internet, the plane, AIDS, gravity, and the Lunar landing are myths, too, then, hm? The Bible certainly never mentions that in the future someone will land on the Moon, or that Man will one day be able to communicate with people on the other side of the world with machines capable of making millions of calculations a second.That is what I can't for the life of me understand.
The Bible is a steaming pile of shit.
This is my first approved FSTDT submission, which I think is highly appropriate considering the fact that it's been quite a long time since I've been this disgusted with a pseudoscientist.
The Bible also doesn't mention people with their heads shoved up their asses, but we see a lot of them here.
Let me join the chorus here...I've got severe depression, Asperger's, anxiety disorder, you name it. All I can say is that it has not a damn thing to do with "sin" or "conscience" or "demons".
I also started with problems at a very young age, biting my fingernails at two years old, passed around to homes like a jug of wine in a brown paper bag and losing my asshole father at four. And you're right; it was sin. I was blamed for it all.
This couldn't be because the primitive desert people that came up with the faith didn't have science, could it? Nah, of course not... I mean, the Bible mentions cars, computers, McDonald's and Wal-Mart, right?
@anti-nonsense:
The Bible says nothing about Protestants and Baptists. You don't exist. Pas mal.
The Bible doesn't mention potatoes either, so no chips, baked potatoes, crisps and come to think of it most of western cooking. So should potatoes be banned too?
The bible never speaks of the internet, you, Hitler, The United States of America, Albania, Hungary, the English language, or Asians.
No, in the "good old days" of the bible mental illness was caused by "demons" and "devils" or "witchcraft" which usually resulted in the mentally ill being persecuted, tortured and killed.
I'm glad we live in enlightened times.
Fixed:
"The Bible is unscientific: "sin" is a myth. Psychiatry never speaks of sin, only that they have a mental illness."
-edit-
so the bible written how many fucking years ago is right did they discover everything there is to know about mental illness's and prove them wrong and THEN right the bible i think not
smithers you should go back to loving mister burns
I suffered form major depression for years. I finally got it under control through counseling, diet, exercise and volunteer work. I also used medication as prescribed by my doctor when it was necessary. What I did NOT need was appeals to any deities.
I guess that makes a case for works righteousness then, right Smithers?
The Bible doesn't speak of cars, trains, or airplanes. So, start walking.
And get off the Internet. That's not in the fucking bible, either.
Confused?
