You've come a long way baby!

Psychiatrist Dinesh Bhugra

I have noticed contradictions with psychiatrists.

Homosexuality was listed as a mental disorder in Psychiatry's Bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, but after psychiatrists were ridiculed and pressured by gay activists, the membership of the American Psychiatric Association voted in 1974 to remove it from the DSM. This folly of a science claimed that homosexuality was a mental disorder, but buckled under political pressure and removed it from their Bible.

How’s that for science?

American Minute with Bill Federer NOV. 29 - C.S. Lewis, 'Mere Christianity'


American Minute with Bill Federer
NOV. 29 - C.S. Lewis, 'Mere Christianity'
His death went unnoticed, as he died the same day John F. Kennedy was shot.

His books are some of the most widely read in English literature, with over 200 million sold worldwide and, nearly 50 years after his death, continue to sell a million copies a year.

His name was Clive Staples Lewis, born NOVEMBER 29, 1898.




At age 19, he fought in the trenches in World War I.

An agnostic, he became a professor at Oxford and Cambridge.




He credits his Catholic friend and fellow writer, J.R.R. Tolkien, author of Lord of the Rings, as being instrumental in bringing him to faith in Christ.



Among his most notable books are: The Screwtape Letters; Miracles; The Problem of Pain; Abolition of Man; and The Chronicles of Narnia, which include The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe.

C.S. Lewis stated (The Oxford Socratic Club, 1944. pp. 154-165):



"If...I swallow the scientific cosmology as a whole, then not only can I not fit in Christianity, but I cannot even fit science.

If minds are wholly dependent on brains, and brains on bio-chemistry, and bio-chemistry (in the long run) on the meaningless flux of atoms,

I cannot understand how the thought of those minds should have any more significance than the sound of the wind in the trees."

In Mere Christianity, 1952, C.S. Lewis wrote:

"All that we call human history - money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery - is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy."



C.S. Lewis expressed in Mere Christianity, 1952:

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God.'
  
That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher.



He would either be a lunatic - on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell.

You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.

You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."



In The Screwtape Letters, 1942, C.S. Lewis wrote:

"The safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."

C.S. Lewis wrote:

"God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing."

"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'"

"Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive."



C.S. Lewis wrote:

"Christianity...is a religion you could not have guessed...It is not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. It has just that queer twist about it that real things have."

In Mere Christianity, 1952, C.S. Lewis wrote:

"The Eternal Being, who knows everything and who created the whole universe, became not only a man but (before that) a baby, and before that a fetus in a woman's body."

American Minute with Bill Federer NOV. 28 - 'Let the youth...instead of...rapturous admiration for speechifyers... examine the principles of the revolution... before they...lick the hand of a despotic master...' -James Warren



American Minute with Bill Federer
NOV. 28 - 'Let the youth...instead of...rapturous admiration for speechifyers... examine the principles of the revolution... before they...lick the hand of a despotic master...' -James Warren
Following the hated Stamp Act of 1765, the British committed the Boston Massacre in 1770, firing into a crowd, killing five.

In 1773, James Warren proposed that Samuel Adams form Committees of Correspondence to inform the rest of the nation of injustices being committed in Boston:



"...the rights of the colonists, and of this province in particular, as men, as Christians, and as subjects; to communicate and publish the same to the several towns in this province and to the world as the sense of this town."

The British increased taxes and in response colonists had the Boston Tea Party, December 16, 1773. In 1774, the British retaliated by blocking Boston Harbor to starve the city into submission.



In 1775, when President of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, Dr. Joseph Warren, was killed in the Battle of Bunker Hill, James Warren, who also fought there, was elected the next President.



As President of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, James Warren approved the Resolution, June 16, 1775:

"It has pleased Almighty GOD in his Providence to suffer the Calamities of an unnatural War to take Place among us...

And as we have Reason to fear, that unless we become a penitent and reformed People, we shall feel still severer Tokens of his Displeasure.

And as the most effectual Way to escape those desolating Judgments, which so evidently hang over us...will be - That we repent and return everyone from his Iniquities, unto him that correcteth us...



Among the prevailing Sins of this Day, which threaten the Destruction of this Land, we have Reason to lament the frequent Prophanation of the Lord's Day, or Christian Sabbath...

It is therefore RESOLVED...by this Congress...the People...throughout this Colony...pay a religious Regard to that Day, and to the public Worship of God thereon."

James Warren, who died NOVEMBER 28, 1808, was husband of author Mercy Otis Warren, called "the conscience of the Revolution" for her correspondence with many founding fathers.



Both James and Mercy Warren were Anti-Federalists, opposing the new U.S. Constitution as they did not think there were enough limits to prevent the Federal Government from becoming a totalitarian dictatorship.

James Warren submitted essays to the local newspaper under the name "Helvitius Priscus," which was the name of a Roman republican who resisted the dictator Nero.



On December 27, 1787, the Independent Chronicle published an article by "Helvitius Priscus" in which James Warren criticized the Constitutional Convention:

"...that assembly, who have ambitiously and daringly presumed to annihilate the sovereignties of the thirteen United States; to establish a Draconian Code; and to bind posterity by their secret councils..."

James Warren referred to the Lycian League, a thriving confederation of independent Greek city-states which existed from the 8th century BC until conquered by Phillip of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great, in 338 BC:

"Everyone acquainted with ancient history...turn their thoughts to the miserable fate of the Lycians...



a sober, virtuous people, who maintained their independence, and their freedom, for several centuries; and supported their own simple institutions, under twenty-three district sovereignties...



A people bearing a strong resemblance to a party in America had crept in among them, and...an ambitious Phillip had his emissaries in that body, who by political intrigue, and well-timed plausible speeches, enabled him...to set himself at the head of the Grecian States;

to annihilate their constitutions, and to degrade them to the most abject submission to the will of a despotic tyrant...

The tyrant alleged the same excuse for his encroachment, that we hear hacknied in the streets of our capitals, for subjugating the Americans..."



James Warren added:

"The application...is left for the consideration of every lover of his country.

America has fought for her liberties...purchased them by the most costly sacrifices...

And shall...her freedom be sported away by the duplicity, and the intrigues of those, who never participated in her sufferings?...mad ambition of a mind ready to sacrifice...humanity for its gratification?

FORBID IT HEAVEN!..."

James Warren warned further:

"Let the youth of America... instead of indulging a rapturous admiration for the modern superficial speechifyers in favor of an American monarchy, let them examine the principles of the late glorious revolution...

and before they embrace the chains of servitude, let them scrutinize...if their pride...will suffer them to lick the hand of a despotic master...

Let him be stigmatized with the odium...the base betrayer of the rights of his country...though he may artfully have obtained an election...

Let the old Patriots come forward, and instead of secretly wrapping up their opinions within their own breasts, let them lift up the voice like a trumpet, and show this people their folly and...impending danger."
