part of the plan

await your arrival, simple survival, and one day we'll all understand

 

well Peter Lance says Isla Vista is full of privileged kids but evil lurks around the corner..Pete was on Inside Edition which pissed me off... don't Miss Norville know that Pete's a dummy??? and a misogynist!!


oh well leave it to the News-Press and crazed fundamentalist Christian Andy Caldwell to gives us the reasons for the Isla Vista killings...according to Andy (who claims he wants to be a preacher one day), the reason the Virgin Elliot killed those young people is because of too much psychology and the lack of religion in his life , Christian religion....

well you could also argue that too much capitalism was the culprit as Elliot was given a BMW and Mercedes to tool around in

and here I thought Christians were pro-life ... I see a perfect Christian family in Orange County was slaughtered by the crazy bible-thumping father in a murder-suicide kinda deal....how does Andy explain that? too much God??? not enough psychology?? can you imagine being a teen at home one day and your dad  or brother decides he's gonna kill you, your brother  dad and your mom??? there is nothing sicker or scarier than the conservative home-schooled religious American family...personally, I stay away from them

update: well  I was wrong...according to OC cops, the 21 year old son who was living at home killed his parents and sis before killing himself...

sigh...

religion and insanity don't necessarily have anything to do with each other...although when you ask god to do all your thinking for you, you may be nutters

then Andy goes on to cite a book called "Psychoheresy" by a couple named the Bobgans...

here's a review from one of the readers at Amazon:

The Bobgans have targeted one of the most dangerous trends in the Church, and society, and that is the "Acceptance" of psychology and psychotherapy, and have reduced them to what they are - theories which don't hold water. This science, so-called, are numbers of clouds without water, but which have seduced and brought into bondage so many thousands of people. The Bobgans evaluate everyone from Freud to Rogers to Jung, and reveal just what they really believed, and ultimately point to the only One who can make a difference - The Lord Jesus Christ. He alone can unburden and create a new life, and by abiding by the only guide available - the Bible - our troubles, if we choose, can be solved by Him, and Him alone. Highly recommended!!!

well of course this is nonsense....just pick up an "Abnormal Psychology" book and you'll see most of Team Wendy in it and probably some of your family members..and most members of the Catholic church!!

the early psychologists were brilliant..Freud, Jung, Horney, Maslow, Perls..their insight into human nature was uncanny..but because some folks are brainwashed with church nonsense at an early age, they end up preaching on the editoiral pages of the News-Press trying to explain human nature with references like "well, if Eve hadn't sucked on that apple, then Adam might have had a chance"....

human nature is a bit more complicated than that

psychology might explain a pedophile whereas religion would just transfer him to another parish

psychology and religion run into the same problems when false prophets like Andy Caldwell and Televangelists spout off... or when nuts like Michelle Bachman and her husband use the bible to counsel people outta being gay...or frauds like Dr. Laura use "therapy" as entertainment on the radio...(at least she used to do that before I exposed her)....

some people use religion and psychology to nefarious ends...

but I'd trust Lucy over Andy anyday of the week
