- Seeking "help" from astrologers, psychiatrists, psychologists,

- Besides, psychology is based on a denial of the existance of
- free will. And without free will, you cannot decide to do
- anything, including "seeking help" from a psychologist,
- you can only be driven to it by mysterious "psychic forces"
- beyond your control. So, when a psychologist tells you
- you should seek his help, he isn't even being internally
- consistent.

- What a fascinating assertion. Are you once again speaking ex cathedra
- from your rectum or do you have some logical, if ignorant, argument for
- it?
