Why do so many non-Christians spend millions of dollars a year on prozac and psychologists?

Question

True Christians have no need for prozac or psychologist. Read about the fruit of God's Spirit if you doubt me. Gal 5:22

Answer 1

I use to take 2 a day before I was saved. Jesus healed me now I do not need them any more.

I took them because I was depressed and I always use to feel empty in my heart.

Answer 2

Psychologists, like medical doctors, nurses, social workers, and numerous other care givers are gifts from God. Most priests and pastors are not qualified to be counseling people with serious mental or emotional problems. And if a drug (a chemical) is a medical necessity to make someone better, to improve their health, then so be it.

Answer 3

Because unlike christians they deal with reality and their problems and try to grow as people. There is nothing wrong or bad about medication and therapy. In fact our society would benefit if it was more available. Everyone, even christians have problems they need help with. Those that are wise utilize the resources that God has provided for them. Those that aren't go around with issues that affect them and everyone around them.

Answer 4

prozac-well, funny story about that actually...see, me and my non-christian friends (such scoundrels, aren't we!) like to trick some unsuspecting SO INNONCENT christians into a bar, buy a round of shots for them, and then slip the pills into their drink. then we laugh our heads off and take tons of pictures to comemorate this event (let's be honest, loopy christians are HILARIOUS!)

psychologists-well, on the darker side, some of us non-christians are forced to turn outside help...it's not their fault, they were driven there. probably by all the irritating and persistent men in black suits that visit them like clockwork, always carrying some big heavy book and spouting all this nonsense about us going to some sort of hell. either that, or it was all those nagging people on R&S constantly trying to convert us and insulting us every chance they get. sigh. such trolls.

Answer 5

Paracetamol doesnt help against depressions so that is why prozac is used.
Psychologists are trained to help people with mental troubles a for instance hairdresser can not do that ( normaly )

Answer 6

Why are there so many church run and christian specific mental health centers? Seems like there's several in every small town in america. That's a lot of christians needing psych. help.

Answer 7

I know plenty of Christians on prozac.

Answer 8

Many Christians take anti-depressants as well. Ministers and priests in particular find it difficult to cope with the sillier members of their flock.

Answer 9

because we have to deal with people like you who logic seems to have no affect on.

edit...
if we dont believe you, and we're not christians... then what gives you the idea that reading galatians will be any more credible a source than your random statistics.

Answer 10

Same reasons that many Christians do.
Try harder.



Edit:
Your additional detail still doesn't work. Are all Christians not true Christians, or just the ones you find "undesirable" are not?

Answer 11

Same reason christians such as David Vitter spend so much money on hookers - to relieve stress.
