/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

Because you're left forced to conclude that the masses know best, that you don't have to do anything but obey and listen, and that reality is already figured out and all you have to do is not go against the grain. Conforming to consensus isn't necessarily bad as long as what's agreed upon is actually correct, but it's much more likely to be incorrect.

Sometimes, mental illness is caused by something natural. Sometimes however, it's caused by something preternatural (i.e. demonic). If someone thinks they're undergoing something demonic and we live in a society where atheism has become the norm, shouldn't one expect then that the doctors and psychiatrists try to help you whilst also disregarding any kind of preternatural explanation is gibberish? I think their desire to help you is sincere (it definitely is in my case with my counsellor) but nonetheless, religion is something they've rejected.

I believe, for my counsellor, had I told him that I found a solution to my mental health issues in the form of prayer or an exorcism, I believe, if it worked and my mental health issues were resolved, he would be happy for me and simply resume his atheistic life so there's no need to assume that they genuinely have no desire for you to get better (although I am open to the idea that things are different in America).

With regards to this idea that they're concerned with pushing a narrative, in my experience, my mental health counsellor was never against my religious practises when I claimed that prayer helped alleviate my issues. He never supported it but I think it's worth noting that he was never against it. You seem to believe they're against your faith and I really doubt that's the case.

I believe I saw one person argue that the field of Psychology is, due to its desire to be as unassuming as possible, is fundamentally Agnostic rather than Atheist so, again, I don't think they were out to destroy you.

Also, what's "universe building"? This kind of sounds like the "Reality Creation" threads I'd see on /fringe/ which would be odd because it would mean that you, as a supposed Catholic, was in fact engaging in New Age practises.

>You seem to believe they're against your faith

No, I believe they're against what's logically and sensually obvious in favor of the unwashed masses. They want you to deny what you objectively know and have you conform to peer pressure instead.

>Also, what's "universe building"? This kind of sounds like the "Reality Creation" threads I'd see on /fringe/ which would be odd because it would mean that you, as a supposed Catholic, was in fact engaging in New Age practises.

All I'm doing is writing a fantasy novel, Anon. Tolkien was a praised devout Catholic and he did just that and did more universe building than the vast majority of fiction writers. The imagination isn't new age nor is it schizophrenia. It's a gift from God.

>Conforming to consensus isn't necessarily bad as long as what's agreed upon is actually correct, but it's much more likely to be incorrect.

And that's the problem. I don't even know what else to add because that's pretty much it.

>>842574

Oh, I see. What you refer to as "universe building" is what I see typically referred to as "world building" so your phrasing threw me off. Forget what I said about Reality Creation and have a good time.

I myself was actually looking into getting into writing. I'd love to practise drawing and make Sonic Fanfiction. Despite my adult age, my ability to follow the multiple layers in a narrative isn't very good. To just look at some dialogue between characters and see the theme of the narrative is too demanding for me for some reason so I've decided to resign myself to simple stories. I think I'll be joining some kind of storytelling group soon this week so perhaps that'll be enjoyable.

Anyway, in my case, I believe, at the very least, the medication was good and helped quite a bit. I hope the medication was helpful to you even if you think the advice wasn't.

Psychologists are our primary enemies, they are the source of all of society's problems today. Nonsense like microagressions that everyone thought originated on tumblr 10 years ago actually came from psychology decades ago (the concept of microagressions was the topic of a 1980 psychology paper)

>>842671

I think they subvert web communities and use them as a front. Tumblr lost all credibility so now they're using cuckchan which has been moderated by kikes since gamergate or earlier. I don't know what their end goal is but I do know this consensus reality worship is creating an artificial memetic monster. The founding fathers knew the potential for evil mob rule had so they made certain to include many checks and balances. The psychs just want to feed the beast.

No, mate, the SJW left just coopted that s—.

Here's a fun fact:

Triggers are used for legitimate purposes to treat PTSD, but in completely sane ways(Iraq vet avoiding loud noises to not relive that ambush by insurgents, or molestation victims passing over movies with rape scenes).

But of course, our woke friends are either mentally ill or believe existence is traumatic, so they stole that s— and made it political.

>>842683

Please explain how microagressions could ever be anything but insane

>>842699

Let's say, muslims treating christians in disparaging ways in their countries(or insert whatever second-class minorities you like).

Not anything overt, but belittling and degrading minor every day things.

Bibi, the woman from Pakistan that nearly got executed by islamic fundies, got into problems starting with something like that.

Of course, the concept is subjective and was criticized even in the psych field, before the intersectionalist retards morphed it into something incredibly retarded, but the concept isn't that ridiculous, in the abstract.

>>842700

Belittlement and insults are a real thing and are not the same thing as the made up concept of microagressions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microaggression

>Microaggression is a term used for brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioural, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative prejudicial slights and insults toward any group, particularly culturally marginalized groups.

>>842701

So your main grip is it being unintentional?

Being discriminatory towards a group, without meaning to, or considering it normal, isn't that far-fetched.

Again, the concept was a bit shaky from the get-go, and the intersectionalist retards blowing it out of proportion and combining it with their marxism-meets-american identity politics certainly hasnt helped, but the core idea isn't that weird.

>>842706

I deal with micro aggressions from humanity in general every day. I want reparations and justice.
