Question by Andrew H: More teens becoming ‘fake’ Christians?
According to a study published on CNN recently, American kids are increasingly becoming “fake Christians”. From the article:

“Dean says more American teenagers are embracing what she calls “moralistic therapeutic deism.” Translation: It’s a watered-down faith that portrays God as a “divine therapist” whose chief goal is to boost people’s self-esteem.

Dean is a minister, a professor at Princeton Theological Seminary and the author of “Almost Christian,” a new book that argues that many parents and pastors are unwittingly passing on this self-serving strain of Christianity.”

and

“The study included Christians of all stripes — from Catholics to Protestants of both conservative and liberal denominations. Though three out of four American teenagers claim to be Christian, fewer than half practice their faith, only half deem it important, and most can’t talk coherently about their beliefs, the study found.”

Question by Anonymous: how to overcome avoidant personality disorder. no psychitrist. pls suggest self help?
self help for avoidant personality disorder

Best answer:

Answer by mikewesten
“Avoidant Personality Disorder” is a psych term used to categorise a number of behavioural traits Psychiatry considers improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a “mental illness”, and promote it as a “disease” that requires “treatment”.

If one considers certain traits to be problematic, relating to shyness or low self-worth and self-esteem, then there are variety of options one can consider without accepting Psychiatry’s BS that one has a “mental illness”, that one is “ill” and that one should reach for so-called “medication” as a so-called solution.

It’s great, then, that you wish to stay clear of Psychiatry. I would, however, consider dropping use of the term “Avoidant Personality Disorder”, as that is an invented psychiatric label that has no substance in science whatsoever.
