]]> Comment on Voodoo we love so well by Ernest Dempsey http://www.larryhayes.com/?p=89&cpage=1#comment-8 Ernest Dempsey Mon, 25 Jan 2010 08:34:00 +0000 http://www.larryhayes.com/?p=89#comment-8 Religion's masochastic assurances fail when the pain gets a real face. Instead of looking for answers in nature, we try to hide in God's closet where a single answer (no matter how absurd) suffices. Perhaps humans can put their large brains (of which scientists love to brag) to work and see that disasters are natural and loss must be accepted once it comes. No need to look for verbal soothers but just a call for better cooperation and communal efforts for rehabilitation. Religion’s masochastic assurances fail when the pain gets a real face.

Early treatments for depression in mental hospitals actually included work - not only did it get people moving, it gave them some dignity as well. Nice blog.
