Thank you for your reply.
...Hello Mr. Kretchmer. <br /><br />Thank you for your reply.<br /><br />Yes, your first post is the one I remembered having first read your statement on your view, as quoted above from your twitter post. Thank you.<br /><br />I've read it again now, and I'll likely read it again, and I will be giving it some more thought. <br /><br />As I see it, even though we're in agreement on much of what I've read from you, we have a fundamental disagreement with respect to your statement in your first post: "Religious faith is essentially causation of knowledge of first postulate, beyond reason and reasonable justification." That is the cornerstone of any other disagreements we would have, I believe. <br /><br />Regardless, thank you for making your blog available. I've very much enjoyed reading and thinking about what you and others have had to say, and I will continue to visit your blog for your thoughtful comments re psychiatry and mental illness and law, etc. I appreciate your righteous anger over the injustices and irrationality that you have and continue to witness in your work.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />JohnJohn Shepardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424458889560274756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129153260738117116.post-10312705162350335932012-08-12T12:50:36.373-05:002012-08-12T12:50:36.373-05:00John, I should refer you to the very first thing I...John, I should refer you to the very first thing I posted on this blog, back in March of '09 I think....<br /><br />As for Tom Szasz... in my several contacts with him over the last ten years or so, I never had the impression that he professes or would favor any sort of anti-spiritual philosophy or ultra-materialism. His beliefs regarding an Abrahamic God, or gods generally, I would not really know.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!SRKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038834371981947620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129153260738117116.post-7141758861683245022012-08-10T09:11:51.764-05:002012-08-10T09:11:51.764-05:00Poisons, which is the correct term, do.Poisons, which is the correct term, do.adam brookeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733137850821442864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129153260738117116.post-27931821597319063392012-08-09T02:02:02.354-05:002012-08-09T02:02:02.354-05:00Hello Mr. Kretchmer,

Very interesting, and I agree with a lot that you say, but I have a question, and I'm not sure if this is the appropriate means, if there is an appropriate means, of asking you a question, yet I have or know of no other means to do so.<br /><br />If I'm correct, I have learned that you are a member of the Church of Scientology. I've long been a fan of Dr. Thomas Szasz, and I understand that he has a relationship with the Church, even though he is not a member, or religious, from what I gather.<br /><br />Something you said, I believe in one of your blog posts (but it would be difficult for me to find it) and on your twitter account/page (or whatever it's called) is: "Study of mind/healing of mental ills shouldn't be alienated from religion, or condoned in non-religious fields."<br /><br />May I ask, what do you mean by religion? (I know very little at all about Scientology.)<br /><br />I, by the way, am an atheist, and perhaps I'm wrong, but I believe that Dr. Szasz is as well, and yet he obviously has a lot to say about "mind/healing of mental ills." Thus my puzzlement and my question, if you don't mind.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad to have found your blog.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Best wishes.John Shepardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424458889560274756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129153260738117116.post-50707624460456446012012-08-08T23:40:44.895-05:002012-08-08T23:40:44.895-05:00Amen.

That's the nickname I bestowed on him over a decade ago when a Chicago federal court FORCED him on me as my lawyer in a lawsuit I brought alleging my psychiatric captors were denying to me MINIMALLY HUMANE CONDITIONS OF CONFINMENT REQUIRED BY INTERNATIONAL INSTRUMENTS ON TORTURE AND PRISONERS. Heyrman argued, over my objections, that my captors should have the right to do this if they declared their crimes to be "therapeutically advisable". <br /><br />Heyrman is not simply deluded or mistaken about anything. He takes SADISTIC GLEE in hurting so-called "mental patients".C.
