re: #321 Cato the Elder

Once you start “diagnosing” people’s beliefs, the door is open for them to do the same to you.

First off, people do that all the time! Really. C’mon Cato, you diagnose people here, and not infrequently.

Furthermore, the psych community diagnose people based on what they are thinking as well as what they do. Yes, really.

It’s funny… no where did I use the word “control” yet others in reacting to my post objected to “controlling” others.

Our society, modern that it is, tries to help people with mental illness, not punish them. We don’t lock up people with depression (unless they are on the point of killing themselves.)

No where did I even imply doing a Soviet style lock up of creationists.

Creationists are delusional, and mental health services should be available to them as it is with other delusional individuals.

And with that, I really am off to the gym.
