To save you time on picking one, I suggest the only real god, FSM. RAmen. Also do you believe in Santa Claus, If not, Why?
because santa clause did not prove his existence to me and God did
Quote:Freud diagnosed us believers as having a mental illness
Sigmund died in 1939, or did you mean Anna? Lucian was a painter so if you meant him well no one values his medical diagnosis.
many many many psychiatrists believe and respect everything that Freud believed hes the grandfather of modern psychiatry

If god has given you proof then feel free to share with the class. If you can't share it then I don't think it counts as proof.
Personally I never ask my psychiatrists or other doctors about their religious preferences. A doctor with any medical integrity will not allow her religious views to influence her job.
What diagnosis are you talking about that I would agree with and be happy with?
Everything you said after that made no sense.

a diagnosis that excluded any possibility of a spiritual experience you would agree and be very happy with since that is your view as well , that God cannot exist . since i know that God does exist i would not want to go to someone who did not have that proof . and so because of their lack of proof they do not believe that it is a possibility

Freud was indeed very scornful about religion, and the Christian religion specifically. He wrote many works arguing against Christian tenets. However, as far as I know, he did not publish studies on religion and mental illness, and therefore made no diagnosis as such. But you're talking about very early works. If you want to discuss studies, we should limit them to works published in the last 10-15 years at the most.
But then, you're probably not here to discuss the current APA's views on religion and mental illness.
You just seem to be fixated on the idea that your doctor should be a Christian, or perhaps more accurately, a Deist. I'm sure there are a lot of them out there. So what's the problem?
