IS PSYCHOLGY A RELIGION OR SCIENCE

Some look at me with disbelief. It has been so engrained in everyone since childhood that it is good. Even most parents use it to form the personality of their children. Some of the most persuaded are those who raise their children from birth in this religion. I am not writing of Christianity, but the “religion” of psychology.

Although there is no God in this newfound religion, it remains a bonified religion. If that makes you uncomfortable, please flee from it now. In fact, this religion propagates fleeing from things that make you uncomfortable. By fleeing from the truth, you are operationalizing the religion of psychology.

A religion is, according to Merriam-Webster, “a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith.

Parents raise their children using psychological principles because they have faith that what they have been taught is scientific. With that said, psychology is “scientology,” and in fact, L. Ron Hubbard endeavored to get Scientology accepted as bonified psychology, even using an E-meter to audit emotional reactions. If anything, it would do nothing more than measure stress. In fact, the purpose of psychology is to eliminate stress. For psychologists, if something is stressful, flee from it; not the cause of stress but the stress itself.

The unidentified psychologists of Wikipedia defined stress: 



In psychology, stress is a feeling of emotional strain and pressure. Stress is a type of psychological pain. Small amounts of stress may be beneficial, as it can improve athletic performance, motivation and reaction to the environment. Excessive amounts of stress, however, can increase the risk of strokes, heart attacks, ulcers, and mental illnesses such as depression and also aggravation of a pre-existing condition. 

Stress can make you perform better in some cases but can kill you in other situations. In fact, the expectation that you must perform better induces stress. Eastern religions are used regularly by psychologists because they allow the practitioners of yoga and such to escape stress for a few minutes each day… not escape the root causes of stress but stress itself!

Stress is the measurement of tension. Just as the stress of metals are measured by their tensile strength, your nerve-strength is measured by how much tension they can take without ripping you apart.

The E-meter is basically a test of the tensile strength of the auditee. In like manner, psychology evaluates the tension in the person, and the “auditors” endeavor to find a manner to relieve the tension. They do so, not by changing the “metal” of the “patient” but by changing the calibration of the tool. The “tool” used by that profession is the American Psychiatric Association (APA) is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). It is the “Bible” of that profession.

Whereas the manual of God was written in stone for perpetuity, the DSM is written on paper and ROM for easy alteration. If some people feel sick because of stress, it is as simple as recalibrating their tool, and voila, the broken spirits are made whole again. In psychology, “wholeness” is broken but content with it. The root cause is not removed but adjusted so that the sick person is no longer defined as or feels “sick.”

The best example of the APA adjusting the tool was in DSM-III: 

Key points:

First published in 1968, DSM-II listed homosexuality as a mental disorder.

In 1973, members of the American Psychiatric Association voted to remove homosexuality from the DSM.

Not until 1987 did homosexuality completely fall out of the DSM. (Burton 2024) 

Note that there was no reason to change. Professional people just changed their minds about it. Whereas most religions have tenets that are foundational to the people, psychology is not founded on principles but what society will accept as normality. 

Homosexuality per se implies no impairment in judgment, stability, reliability, or general social and vocational capabilities; Further, the American Psychological Association urges all mental health professionals to take the lead in removing the stigma of mental illness that has long been associated with homosexual orientations. (Conger 1975) 

In this example, psychologists fixed the problem by removing the stress. Note that homosexuality remained a “mental illness,” but their expectation was that society, even employers, just live with mentally ill people. In other words, not to ever fix the problem but make mental illness acceptable. With that said, as they recalibrated their tool, they fixed millions of people who were still mentally ill!

Not only, that, but in subsequent years, laws were passed to prevent anybody from even trying to fix the mental illness. Any counselor who tries to fix the mental illness of homosexuality are discriminated against themselves by virtue of laws around the nation. As such, if you perceive homosexuality as a mental illness, what you think is a crime. Commerce can now be withheld from those who fail to go along with the narrative. So, the psychology religionists use the same tactics as the adherents of Sharia Law. You must either believe their ways or be forbidden commerce.

Those who disagree with the opinion of the APA are ostracized. Note that the APA voted on the resolution. It was an opinion, and now anyone who does not share their “doctrines” is shunned by their religion.

Next, because the LBGT+ community may feel stress, the APA changed their “Bible” again, making those who disagree with their autocracy thought criminals: 

Lesbian, gay and bisexual people who encounter homophobic attitudes experience increases in heart rate, blood pressure and stress hormones, potentially putting them at risk for multiple health problems, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.

 

“This study shows the potentially toxic impact discriminatory attitudes can have on lesbian, gay and bisexual people’s health,” said lead author David M. Huebner, PhD, associate professor of prevention and community health at The George Washington University. “This is just one more, among many, corrosive effects of homophobia.” (Huebner 2021) 

The LBGT+ community experiences stress. Others who disagree that their mental state be fixed, now have become the new mentally ill. Now, “homophobia” makes normal people the sick and the sick people the well!\

The APA did not fix the abnormality of the sick but made society so that homosexuality and such are the new “normal.” They did not make the sick whole again as Christianity proposes but made the whole sick as well.

Psychology nearly always fixes the problem of mental illness, not by making them whole again but by changing the environment. Those with rational thoughts are not allowed into their fantasy “paradise” that they have made; only the sick and their enablers can live in their ideological beautiful “garden” wherein all things are acceptable with nobody there to judge in their “judgment free zone,” ala Planet Fitness. ®

Most religions would go for the root cause of maladjustment. Most religions have a central figure whose standards the religionists must adhere. Basically, psychology has no standards; they merely achieve their goals by making as many sicknesses “normal” as possible to remove stress.

At one time homosexuality was abnormal to the APA. When so many revealed their mental illness, it was easier to change their prognosis than fix that many people.

Why did the APA vote to change the rules for abnormality? Because homosexuals revealed just how pandemic their mental illness had become when they picketed the APA to change their tool. The members of the APA changed their metric to alleviate the stress that they were feeling. They did not fix the sick but relieved their own stress. Now, the APA has lost their courage. They can no longer even try to fix the sick. Thereafter, LBG rights have been extended to include LBGT+ to include any dysfunction that anyone might have. In other words, so that the sick can enjoy their mental illness without any interference from sane people.

In psycho-babble, they have transferred the sickness of the sick onto those who were not sick, and now the DSM has essentially made everyone sick. Is it for the love of money or what? Do they really believe the tenets of the religion that they have established? No, they have just made everyone more comfortable in their depravities.

Next, I will compare psychology — the manmade religion of man for man — to the truth. (To be continued)
