Title: Sloppy thinking from someone who should know better
Product review: Albert Ellis provides his argument that religion is itself a form of mental illness; due to the fact that it promotes ideas such as not putting yourself ahead of everyone else, letting others emotionally support you, and thinking that there is such a thing as Truth.Ellis absolutely rejects all absolute claims, tells people exactly how to avoid having people tell them what to do, and can't stand intolerant people. His intellectual arrogance is matched only by the internal weaknesses of his arguments. I am a psychologist who specializes in the study of religion, and the scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports the idea that religion serves as a source of emotional strength and personal worth, not as a source of pathology or irrationality.Ellis, an otherwise admirable psychologist, is entrapped by his own prejudice.
