[MD] Strange

[John Carl]

After I had been practicing psychotherapy for some years,
a strange pattern began to emerge.
If religious people came to see me because they were in pain and trouble
and difficulty,
and they really got involved in therapy,
then—more often than not—
they would leave therapy as questioners,
doubters,skeptics, agnostics,
possibly even atheists.
But if atheists or agnostics or skeptics came to me in pain, trouble, and
difficulty
and they really got involved in therapy,
then—more often than not—
they would leave therapy having become deeply religious or spiritually
concerned people.
