Would the world today have been better off without religion? In this presentation, Dr Ian McCallum will argue No.<\/p>\n

One of our greatest needs as human beings is the need to belong. Irrespective of the multiple expressions and denominations, religion will continue to be important in human life. It is psychologically relevant. He says: \u201cAs far as I am aware, we are the only species that seek more than food, friends, and freedom in our lives. We are seekers of continuity, meaning, values, symbols, and stories \u2013 historical and mythical \u2013 that address the deep existential issues of our lives. What we did not and do not need, however, is the politicisation and paralysis of religious dogma.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patients seeking psychotherapy do so for a wide range of issues, including a better understanding of the so-called existential issues of their lives, for example, coming to terms with life\u2019s great paradoxes \u2013 commitment and freedom, right and wrong, life and death, good and bad including the feelings of a loss of a sense of a meaningful life. While religious convictions are of value to some, there are those who, more than anything, are looking for a different perspective on their lives and relationships. Every human being has a unique \u201conce upon a time\u201d story to tell. To hear that story is to hear the echo of ancient life-affirming myths and the search for meaning. To reflect on one\u2019s personal stories can be life changing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
