Yeah well you're probably so chock-full of Thetans you'll say any crazy old thing.

Duh, it's all because of alien souls trapped in you and all you have to do is visualize a giant spirit hand chopping them off of you and you'll be fine. Now that'll be 0,000.

On one side: A money-grubbing cult founded by a sci-fi author, a brand-new poeTV poster, and paranoid schizophrenics

On the other side: All known medical science

Hmmmmmm...who to trust...

Only one guy I know thinks psychiatry is horrible. His logic is that the human brain is too complex for us to understand. He also thinks 9/11 was an inside job because WTC1 and 2 'neatly fell into their own footprints'.

I think I'm going to side with science - it's not perfect but unless you can come up with a better system then shut the fuck up.

Also, five stars for Scientology jibber jabber.

Right, I'll just go back off my bipolar meds, go insane, lose my jobs again, and live on the streets as a howling mad man.

Thank you Accidie! Now I can go back to being beat and raped in an asylum ala the early 1900's rather than getting medical assistance for my legitimate medical illness.

because something is imperfect, it is completely unworthy of any respect

LOGIC

my friend was once misdiagnosed with a brain tumor, so now I eschew all modern medicine and apply leeches to my abdomen to treat my sprained ankle

Wow Meatsack. It sounds like you have a bad case of the thetans. You really need to get audited, man.

And whoooooo are yoooooou, Accidie?

Oh right, one of the CoS plants. WELCOME ABOARD, YOU WILL ENJOY THE ASSIMILATION.

I've noticed that people who rail against psychiatry all have a certain something in common

@Syd Midnight
Anger issues?

At least the drugs do shit.

Eh, I don't know. My own (total layperson's) attitude toward psychiatry is fairly cynical. I think too often the pharmaceutical industry as a whole pushes pills onto people who may or may not actually need them. I have nothing against psych as a science, but once the business aspect comes into play I start getting a little more skeptical.

Don't get me wrong, the Church is about a thousand times greedier and more full of shit either way. I'm just saying that I think medication is often misprescribed (is that a word?) and has plenty of potential to do more harm than good.

Oops, not supposed to be a reply.

Whoooooooooo are yoooooooooou, fourthguy?
