Well, I agree with this article. And whenever I agree with a writer’s perspectives I generally don’t say much about it, as then I feel I’m playing the role of a cheerleader, and it’s a role I don’t feel I should be taking with my fellow males. Don’t women of all backgrounds and ages naturally make themselves into cheerleaders? And would it not be more meaningful to offer a monetary donation, or to at least get my own website and then promote the writer’s work on it?
And I haven’t been on here in a while anyway, as I’ve grown more serious about getting my freelance art career underway—doing oil painting instructional videos. Video-wise, I bought a new camera and transferred 8 years’ of files on computer to an external drive, thereby freeing up space for videos. Art-wise, I’ve now managed to copy most of a 19th century neoclassical Russian painting onto canvas in about a month (filming myself doing it).
Yet I thought of the “Modern Psychiatry Is Demonic” article while reading another article from a different blogger this morning, this one by Andrew Anglin: “If Russia Beheaded People for Disrespecting Christianity, People Would Stop Doing It”.
And I found myself agreeing with much of that article, as well.
I thought making pornography was supposed to be illegal in Russia, but apparently like most of their

Thing is, there are some things I could say about the vileness of modern psychiatry—how it took a former noble study of neuroscience, then turned it into a means of making pharmaceutical giants all-powerful at the expense of public sanity.
But I think the more pressing issue is the US public’s acquiescence to a general spirit of anti-Christianity.
On this forum, to speak against the tenants of Christianity—doing so either by intentionally making them things of mockery, or repeatedly trying to intellectually erode other readers’ faith—this is blasphemy, and it makes the contributor subject to immediate banning.
It isn’t a rule given with the expectation belief in anything can be forced into a person, but rather, with the practical understanding that faith can be undermined—not just at a targeted individual, but with an entire group. And so if a contributor starts getting away from the gamut of historical doctrinal differences Christians have bickered about amongst each other over the centuries, and instead enters a realm of a subterfuge against the saving work of Christ’s crucifixion itself, at that point everyone should be wary.
And this isn’t to say the offender should be executed, so much as exiled. This, if their behavior shows a willingness to spread their faithless perspectives amongst the faithful, to perform what amounts to a converting of the faithful into the faithless—doing all without the sense of consequences immediately coming from the Almighty. At that point, more timely consequences should be forthcoming from His servants.
God may grant you a thick head of hair, but He’s not going to comb it for you.
And so what’s needed in American civil society is a return to 18th and 19th century laws that recognized blasphemy for what it is, and outlawed any public display of disrespect to Christianity as an institution. These laws were part of each state’s constitution, and any attempt to overrule them on behalf of the SCOTUS at that time would have itself been ignored.
We would then enter the discussion of “modern scientific inventions”—which ones constructively serve a Christian society, and which ones don’t. Look at the beliefs of the inventor of any given work. Look at the beliefs of the men manufacturing and distributing the things.
The atomic bomb and thermonuclear atomic bomb were not inventions created by any Christian, nor any group of Christians, but rather, created by a group of secular Jews and two fallen Catholics—Enrico Fermi and Marie Curie. As a result, there was no thought given to how fighting a war with such weapons might depart from anything a Christian soldier could morally justify—weapons that can’t help but kill non-combatants en masse, either due to radioactive fallout or the mere size of the blast itself.
Technically, modern WMD’s came into being in WWI when weaponized chlorine was released on French and Algerian troops by the German army in 1915. This had been a creation of the Nobel prize winning chemist Fritz Haber—a Jewish convert to German Lutherism, albeit one overzealous to show off his new German patriotism as a Christian.
In 1915, with all the German reserves called to duty, the generals feared heavy losses on their side, and so Haber’s weapon was deployed. Somewhere between 3,000 and 10,000 French and Algerian troops were then reported dying from gas inhalation at the Battle of Gravenstafel Ridge. Gas releases in subsequent battles followed. Ultimately, the Germans were repulsed and lost the war, but the western powers’ victory was now a pyrrhic thing.
The impetus to develop an atomic bomb came directly from these battles. Conscience was laid aside and a mad effort was made to create a bomb that could do what the gas had done—in this, the political obloquy of “gas warfare” would be avoided, yet the casualty count would be just as high. Everything became political, with spiritual considerations entirely disregarded. The men making this bomb behaved as though God didn’t exist—or if He did, He simply didn’t care.
This is what gave rise to the fundamentally anti-Christian concept of “postmodernism”—entire western nations behaving as though God were a meaningless abstraction, and then prosecuting total war over still other abstractions. Such nations would then think nothing of approaching medicine and healthcare with the same viewpoint—a godless version of science touting panaceas that harmed far more than they cured (if they cured anything).
And just as in any other instance when atheism and agnosticism takes the place of one’s due reverence for his creator, the animal half of man’s consciousness—the “Dionysian”, or that which lusts after power for its own sake—won supremacy over the fully human half of man—the “Apollonian”, or that which accepts the reality of God as being as rational as the fact the sky is blue, and therefore man’s rightful role is one of answering to his creator. Hyde conquered Jekyll, just as he always does in those who are spiritually weak, or who cling not to Christ for guidance and strengthening.
All modern chemical-based psychiatry comes from this perception of a universe devoid of God and justice, a universe ruled only by chaos where nothing has innate goodness or meaning. It is what you do homage to when you accept that psychiatrist’s prescription for any modern anti-depressant or anti-psychotic—you are saying, “But of course we had to drop that atom bomb on Japan—do it twice for good measure, for there was no god protecting us from Japan’s godless army.”
But enough from me. Thought I’d post again. Good to correspond with my fellow Christians.
Although, this thread—a fellow on here talking about going to gay bars, and how he now needs his psychotropic drugs? This, because he got kicked out of gay bars?
It doesn’t sound like he’s intentionally blaspheming, so much that he really is a nut job—if not outright possessed. He seems eager to defend his own lunacy—he seems to misinterpret it as an innate part of himself that needs comforting, something good enough to be dovetailed into the canon of “Christian reality” for the rest of us.
Exile. That, or a return to the study of phrenology, with an emphasis on surgical correction of portions of the cerebrum—this, as I feel it’s safe to say that commenter has indulged his lower nature to such a extent he’s caused physical portions of his brain to unduly and permanently expand in order to make such pursuits easier. This now works against his spiritual correction, much as having a brace mounted on one’s body works against developing a new form of movement.
I could talk up phrenology (as I’ve done in several other threads), but suffice it to say, the surrounding civil order must first be Christianized (or re-Christianized) in order for such a thing to even be seriously considered, let alone have chance of correcting the afflicted without causing retardation or death.
