Study: Belief in an angry God associated with variety of mental illnesses
by sizemik inhardly surprising to most ... but it's interesting to have a study confirm it.. people who believe in an angry, punishing god are much more likely to suffer from a variety of mental illnesses, a scientific study published in the april edition of journal of religion & health finds.. the study, conducted by marymount manhattan college assistant psychology professor nava silton, used data from the 2010 baylor religion survey of us adults to examine the links between beliefs and anxiety disorders like social dysfunction, paranoia, obsession and compulsion.. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/17/study-belief-in-an-angry-god-associated-with-variety-of-mental-illnesses/.

Found a scripture where Jesus is clearly manipulating people
by cptkirk init's a scripture that is very well known (at least among witnesses) , relatively well known.
it is clearly manipulative, and the irony being that i've seen an elder use it for his own manipulative purposes as well....in a similar circumstance that jesus used it in.
when you look at it again, you may not have seen it this way, but you will now.. i am not trying to put jesus on trial here, simply trying to point out something that is very obvious, and yet most people probably never stepped back and realized what he was actually doing here.. it is mark 6. they are stumbling over jesus (spiritually stumbling), so did he say a prayer for their hearts to be opened?
