    I’m very religious but while I mainly agree with you, I’m always prudent when I see people (not you obviously) presenting religion as a cure for depression.

    Religion is very powerful, but it can break people as much as it can help them. If someone is depressed or ill at ease, they can more easily be spiritually, psychologically or even physically abused.

    That’s why, when someone with psychological troubles come in my community, I welcome them wholeheartedly, but encourage them to seek professional help first and foremost.
