And look at that sig of yours where you have quoted me out of context - what is THAT all about?

You asked me a ludicrous question in a post: "Have you met any humans, Kirk?" and I answered you in the same fashion, yet for some idiotic reason known only to yourself, you chose to use my response in your sig.

Anyway, back to this from you:

What the hell do those quotes from the Gospels have to do with anything?
And as for:

"See how easy it is to point to "ancient wisdom" and use it as an excuse to wall yourself in and away from thinking?

You are a joker my old son. Where in my post does the use of a quote which is relevant to underscoring what I am saying in that post, justify you interpreting that I am 'walling myself in away from thinking'?

No one who knows me in 'real life' would accuse me of not being a 'thinker' and I am confident that - love me or hate me - no other member on here would accuse me of not being a thinker either.

To be honest, your post is just meaningless waffle based on your own misinterpretation and it really says NOTHING and adds NOTHING to this debate.

I have no problem with 'the study of the mind', but I do not believe that all conclusions hailing from such studies are infallible fact, and - as in all professions - there are good and bad 'experts' and quite a few appalling ones.

OK, let me go through these.

First off, I have no issue with you personally at all. I've never knowingly backed away from any post you've ever directed at me. If you have an example then I'll go back and reply. I do remember our Hilary Clinton discussion though where I asked for evidence of her corruption and you provided nothing. There is nothing confrontational about my post.

The quote in my sig is hilarious. If you are offended by it and would like me to remove it then say, and I'll happily do that for you. When adding a quote to your sig, then they are all without context because of the limited character numbers we are allowed to use. Anyone wishing to read the full context, is perfectly able to do so by just clicking the little grey arrow thingy and it will take you straight to our conversation, which I would highly recommend because I found it really funny.

Now onto the content of this thread. You quoted something Jesus was supposed to have said

"In my opinion, and as far as psychologists and psychiatrists are concerned, a great number of them need to heed the advice of Jesus in Luke 4.23; 'Physician, heal thyself' because they are among the loopiest people in existence.

So I just replied with something else Jesus was supposed to have said, and with a little bit of extra scripture thrown in for good measure. I don't understand why you deem your quote to be fine, and mine a personal attack on your character.

You say you have no problem with the study of the mind, but you've undercut your argument somewhat by labelling them "amongst the loopiest people in existence" You've also demeaned their work in other posts in the thread, so it's a completely valid question, that, despite your protestations, I was justified in asking. I would also like to know what an appalling expert actually is, so I'd be interested in reading your follow up.

I think you're being a little over sensitive my good man, but if there's anything I can do to allay your paranoia, I'd be happy to do so.
