No, all that religion offers is a world view based on a book written 2000 years ago, a book that has no relevance to todays society or social standards. How this can be considered “help and hope” is frankly delusional.
But then we are talking about grown adults who still talk to their imaginary friend.
Given the nature of mental health problems (I have some experience with this as my girlfriend suffers from type II bipolar disorder) offering people the help of your invisible friend is not the answer. Specialist help from trained professionals, coupled with love and support from real people is the way forward.
When does having a friend with a mental illness make someone an expert, I have a friend with bipolar disorder (not a Christian) and it doesn't make me an expert on his illness, so you're only proposing opinion in this matter. Christians offer love and support to those in need and Christian professionals are excellent in their medical fields. Your bias opinion and hatred for the Christian faith is unfounded and insulting. Our faith is in God not a book of study, shows how little you understand Christianity.
A) Please point out where I said I was an expert. The phrase I used was "I have some experience".
B) Personally, I would rather put my trust in a mental health professional who does not talk to an invisible sky daddy. I'd rather have someone with a grounding in reality thanks.
C) Are you suggesting that your stone age world view is not based on a book? Pretty sure the bible was the corner stone of your bullshit last time I checked...
"A man who keeps one eye on the past is blind in one eye. A man who ignores the past is blind in both."
