Ironic they should mention “rewriting the mental health bible” .  LOL

Next up, not just bitter folk, but “clinging” bitter folk, and then of course gun-owners, and bible clingers… 

I guess it means they’re soon coming to take me away my friend, only I don’t believe its the men in the white coats, hopefully, its the angels with wings.

There has to be a opportunity for the pharmaceutical industry here somewhere, gotta get the R&D;bubbas working on the “bitter-ness medicine”.

OK, the same folks who took homosexuality *out* of the book now put “bitterness” *in*.  If you’re bitter about not getting your same sex marriage blessed, however, it’s perfectly normal.  See why “Social Sciences” degrade the education at every university?

OK guys enough of the sarcasm.

Surely the pastors/clergy out there have had experience of people who have been terribly, terribly hurt.  Victims of violence or betrayal, for example.  What do you say to someone whose child has been blinded and brain damaged in an unprovoked attack?  I sometimes think that we Christians rush too quickly to the injunction to forgive.  Sometimes rage has to be worked through - and here therapy, prayer and yes, even perhaps pharmacology, may have a part to play.  But what if the person cannot let go of the bitterness?  We were very moved here in the UK about something I think Kendall may have posted - the vicar whose daughter died in the London subway bombings.  She (the vicar) felt that she could not forgive, and therefore resigned her ministry, because she recognized that as a Christian she ought to forgive.  Personally, I thought that she could have continued with integrity to minister, because even to struggle with yourself in such a situation is to begin to forgive, or at least, to do what you can with otherwise overpowering feelings.
