While most of my posts are questioning the validity of holy texts and criticizing practices, I feel somewhat obligated to attempt to see it from a different lens. I’ve mentioned before that people who are inherently evil will find ways to justify them and carry them out; however the other side of the coin is also true. People who look to religion as a therapy may be making themselves and their communities better as a result. Drug and alcohol addiction are prime examples of what I’m talking about. There are plenty of born again christians who were drug addicts and would have died without “god.” I think therapy could be a suitable replacement, but giving people guidance (as hold as it hurts nobody) isn’t bad. It also can become a support group which is also great as long as no one is being harmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
