I got the point she was trying to make. Luckily A) Jewish with an emphasis on the 'ish' and B) I don't bother to even take religious beliefs that can't accommodate the scientific method as well as its observations seriously. I get what she means by that thinking of mental illness as a 'choice' people can 'shake off' but it's like people that think the world is 6000 years old -- fuck 'em and their feelings. ;)

But I'm not singling out Christianity on that one. Judaism has its fruitcakes, Islam obviously does and just because I haven't encountered any Buddhist nutballs doesn't mean they aren't out there... Same response to all of them; we shouldn't be making policy to cater to myopic and increasingly unsupported belief. And the US Justice system needs a revamping while we're there.
