Psychologists are made to dress up as wizards to mock and humiliate them, yet priests and preachers who actually believe they have magical powers are taken seriously. Mad world. At least wizards are fun.
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoDo priests/preachers commonly testify as expert witnesses in court?
- krapp 3y agoI don't know. I do know it's ridiculous and hypocritical to mock psychology as "wizardry" in a culture where ersatz wizards and the people who believe in them still wield far too much influence.
- yencabulator 3y agoIn their defense, priests at least used to dress up weird by their own choice, making them easily identifiable as non-credible sources. We really should encourage all religious leaders to go back to that convention.
