I do believe in god, Christianity specifically because it is the most efficient cure of the spirit, for those who understand it

and since mental health is the most important thing in my opinion, it really leads to a better life

I am a science freak at the same time, and I find it pointless to mix the two, religion's purpose is not to fill science gaps, it is the mental cure that leads to a better life, making Christianity self-evident in its biggest part

and in my opinion, psychologists  are the kind of new ''religion'', telling you what to think and how to live and how to act, all that while making it look 'advisory' and asking for money... an extremely short-term relief rather than a cure

psychology is science, science may heal the body but will never heal the spirit

welcome to the ex-religion age, the age of personal psychologists

I think you'd have to demonstrate Christianity leads to a better life.

And I don't know if you've ever been to a therapist, but I've been to a bunch, and none of them have ever been anything like that.  

Edit: Actually never mind.  I don't think you need to demonstrate Christianity leads to a better life, because that really has no bearing on its truth.

yes of course I don't put everyone in the same pot, never been to one or even close but lots of my friends have been, the idea I got is some kind of directions for finding some thoughts or answers yourself, I view it as some kind of indirect guidance, what was your therapist like?

it's not something that can be demonstrated, not worth doing so from a forum post anyway

you can't really accept or deny what other people feel, if people who understand it really acquire mental health which is crucial for a good life, then they do
