Thank You, I’ll Continue to Honor the Prophets of the Torah and the Bible if You Don’t Mind :)

Can you say pretentious? I know you can.    This is so funny because if someone with a psychiatric label instead of a long retired psychiatrist such as Dr. McHugh (who is against sexual reassignment surgery and supports the False Memory Syndrome Foundation and is an admirer of Sally Satel by the way) wrote this, they would be asked if they were symptomatic.  Now I just find it hilarious personally, over hype, but it does bring home what the non-labelled can get away with saying and writing with no fear of being locked up or medicated.  E. Fuller Torrey may be a prophet of doom, that does not make him a Prophet. 

 

“In just a few short days of publication, those words ring so true that the book is receiving attention of biblical proportions.

“There are times and situations that call for prophets,” writes Johns Hopkins University Professor Dr. Paul McHugh in The Wall Street Journal. “Not fortunetellers or soothsayers, but biblical prophets like Amos or Jeremiah who furiously proclaim the old truths, puncture our pretensions and predict from current tribulations worse to come if what lies deeper than sin — idolatrous worship of false gods — continues. E. Fuller Torrey, a psychiatrist who cares for patients with schizophrenia and manic-depression, is to my mind the doctor nearest in character to an ancient Hebrew prophet.””
