You’re absolutely right.
We should be spending an enormous amount of energy on the study of psychological ailments but we don’t
So psychological madness permeates our civilization and we get worse because its passed down to generation after generation…
The drug industry, that powerful selfish lobby of greedy self interest has convinced the psychologist that drugs are the key to mental health...a deadly decision

And the good christian to me would be those who follow the laws of the land just as everyone else and let God judge.
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“When people of conviction fight for what's right they often pay a price, but if they don't and we surrender, we will pay a far greater price for bowing to the false God of judicial supremacy. Government is not God. No man - and certainly no unelected lawyer - has the right to redefine the laws of nature or of nature's God."
Huckabee: KY Clerk Shouldn't Bow To 'False God Of Judicial Supremacy'
Kim Davis knows she will one day answer not to Justice Kennedy of the Supreme Court of the United States — she will answer to the Supreme Judge of the Universe.
Folks, you're missing the point about the Kentucky clerk's jail sentence
Christian abolitionists disobeyed the law, helping blacks to escape slavery via the underground railroad. They also broke the law by teaching blacks to read.
Daniel was a high-ranking, highly respected government (King Darius) employee. A new law said everyone must pray only to King Darius. Daniel disobeyed, continuing to pray to the God of Israel. He was arrested and thrown into the lion's den. When interviewed by reporters from the Stone Tablet Times, I suspect some Christians trashed Daniel for noncompliance to the king's law.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were government (King Nebuchadnezzar) appointees. The king built a golden statue, proclaimed it god, and decreed that all must bow down and worship it. Faithful to the true God, the three Hebrew boys disobeyed the law, refusing to bow down or worship the government's statue. They were arrested and thrown into a fiery furnace.
Like Kim Davis, Daniel and the three Hebrew boys believed that the consequence of betraying God is eternal: heaven or hell. It is hard to believe that Christians are now forced to make such a choice in the United States of America.

“The Supreme Court cannot and did not make a law,” Huckabee wrote. “They only made a ruling on a law. Congress makes the laws. Because Congress has made no law allowing for same sex marriage, Kim does not have the Constitutional authority to issue a marriage license to homosexual couples.”

My argument stands supported by your post: just because something is currently legal, doesn't mean it is appropriate nor Constitutional.

Just so I get it...
You don't like those religious folk telling people what to do.... so you will fix it by telling them what to do.
Gotcha.

Bowing down to false gods is never the right choice...
The Creator's Law always trumps the creation's law.

There's nothing wrong with bowing down to false gods....

The religious folks are often to self centered and think God needs them to control society
Go feed a poor man. Uplift the spirits of a deprived child
Teach a poor disabled or neglected kid something
Buy them a computer… Do something for those in the world denied good
That’s the essence of true religion, imho

I know I didn't vote for the church, their god or their laws.

I didn't vote for your religion and no matter what you think of your standards, you don't have the right to enforce them on others.
Let me simplify this for you.
The church does not belong in the affairs of state. Religious beliefs do not permit you to violate the law. You do not have the right to impose your beliefs on other people.

I'm not religious, but I guess things you disagree with is forced on you and those you agree with its OK, seems like the same shoe but different foot...
