For the 3 or 4 people who might be following this thread which one our
colleagues has tried to keep tied however tentatively to teaching of
psychology, I just want to remind you that I never even implied that Albert
Ellis didn't believe that religion was irrational, and also pointed out that
there appeared to be a growing irrationality around religion in our country,
but that he might have concluded that, in this case, the mother, although for
irrational reasons, saw no problem and therefore would probably not even think
of consulting a psychotherapist. I have read all of Ellis' work and was
trained by him personally in a two week seminar, and later by him and some of
the staff at the Institute, so I'm pretty familiar with his ideas.

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and
our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and
the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.
- Barack Obama
We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one which we preach, but
do not practice, and another which we practice, but seldom preach. -Bertrand
Russell, philosopher, mathematician, author, Nobel laureate (1872-1970)
The race of men, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity. -Carl Van
