Hi Susan,
You do seem to have a consistent reaction to skepticism. Anyone questioning
Darwinism is
"A YEC, believes in the tooth fairy, or is trying to impose some religious
belief on everyone."
Similarly, anyone skeptical of the effectiveness of psychiatry is
"advocating chaining mental patients in dungeons".
By the way, the title was tongue in cheek. I really have no desire to "cure"
anyone who is satisfied with a materialistic philosophy.
