Does Belief in God Better Your Health?
During the last few years, I have witnessed first-hand the increasing anti-religion movement upon which the United States was originally founded. With items such as removing prayer from schools to banning the public display of the Nativity Scene, and let's not forget the person who wanted to sue congress for mentioning God in the Pledge of Allegiance, it would seem that quite a few Americans have developed a sour taste to the notion of a celestial god.
The Basis of our Beliefs
Many people's belief system is a by-product of a foundation of poor parenting. If an individual has been exposed to ineffective parenting, a religious belief system may be based upon deficiencies in psychological development. Some people believe in a "tyrant God," one who spreads gloom and doom. These individuals will talk incessantly about how they disappointed God, how they may have lost their salvation, and the guilt feelings that they experience. |
