@Josh: I wonder if you find irony in your choice of examples. You pathologize people who have…Read More "...a severe distortion in how they view the world and God" as defined as people who view God as "...an all powerful source of punishment"--- but your diagnosis seems to require a causal link to having a crappy parent. What if people come to the conclusion/belief that you find to be an illness via means other than child abuse? Can the healthiness (or not) of a state of depend on the path taken?
Wouldn't the DSM (an interpreted by a fundamentalist shrink) require a diagnosis of "delusion" for a patient who had concluded (for whatever reason) than God was NOT "an all powerful source of punishment?" He who transcends time and sees, knows and controls everything everywhere surely also is in charge of punishment, no?

After reading this latest installment. I say: This kind of psychology as well as all kinds of…Read More psychology, is nothing more than a local anesthetic which comforts for awhile. The main comfort comes from knowing the therapist is trained and, therefore, trustworthy,,,impressive, in a way....and also, he or she listens to you and seems to care., Religious words, most words are like rain drops that fall on parched soil. Soon. the soil needs another rain..a constant rain..a constant local anesthetic. An awareness of right and wrong is a tormentor. We realize we do wrong....conscious at work. Most seek another person of great credentials to try to convince them that some sort of relitive thinking will work. No one can know for sure, so any idea is as good as any other idea. This is a release from the narrow thinking mentioned above. Strange...Jesus said: :Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. I make a challenge to you: Read the Gospel of John in one sitting..Be in a quiet place and give your best to doing this.....Be prepared to find what you are looking for....and, it is free. b

Brilliant Jimmy. I'm chuckling here. Especially this: "So if you run a business, unless you…Read More want to advertise via a panhandler... take those old polos and tshirts and make some cleaning rags out of them! Recycle!"
Who would have thought that businesses were getting free advertising from our homeless population?

Lovely! Now to keep them blooming so nicely at least through July 4th!
And is there a way City of…Read More Concord could weed the center meridian where Clayton Road and Hwy. 242 meet one another? I have an idea that might not be city property; but it is a major entrance to/exit from Concord, so might Patch have some influence with the powers that be to take care of the eyesore/fire hazard?????
