DOES CHRISTIAN TEACHING MAKE PEOPLE CRAZY?<\/a> RECOGNIZING THE REAL “NUTTY PROFESSORS.” CHARLES CURTMAN<\/a> Mar 8, 2026<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Wendall W. Watters, a clinical professor of psychiatry at McMaster University, wrote the following in the December issue of The Humanist <\/em>magazine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want you to entertain the hypothesis that Christian doctrine, the existential soother par excellence, is incompatible with the principles of sound mental health and contributes more to the genesis of human suffering than to its alleviation\u2026In my view, all religions are inhuman anachronisms, the notorious nature of Christian doctrine at the personal and interpersonal levels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Watters asserts that Christian teaching is a cause of unsound mental health, a primary contributor to human suffering, and is \u201cnotorious\u201d in terms of the negative effect it has on people. His opinion of Christianity was rooted in his belief in evolution, humanism, materialism, naturalism and the atheism at the root of it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian doctrine is not \u201cnoxious\u201d in nature. The doctrine of evolution is. It is the teaching of evolution that is \u201cincompatible with the principles of sound mental health and contributes more to the genesis of human suffering\u201d than anything else. It is evolution that teaches people that they are descendants of apes with the result that people think of themselves and others as some form of soulless low life. Compare this with Christian teaching (Gen. 1:26; Matt. 5:1-16; Matt. 5:22-26; 2 Pet. 2:1-8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Dr. Watters wanted people to \u201centertain\u201d about Christianity is exactly what those who have dominated and controlled the curriculum and classrooms of America\u2019s colleges and universities have, for the past 45 to 50 years, wanted their students to \u201centertain\u201d and embrace. These are people who have been and continue to be, Satan\u2019s own \u201cuseful idiots,\u201d as, through their evolutionist and atheistic influence they have radicalized generations of young American adults, making mental zombies of them while at the same time setting them on a path towards spiritual reprobation (Rom. 1:28).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wendall Watters was a typical and classic example of how sin can make men and women stupid and sinister and inexplicably mean-spirited and dangerous. He and his ilk today are the so-called, self-proclaimed \u201cElites,\u201d \u201cexperts,\u201cintellectuals,\u201d and \u201cscientists\u201d who, while \u201cprofessing themselves to be \u201cwise,\u201d are identified by God as \u201cfools\u201d (Rom. 1:22) \u2014 those whose \u201cprofane and vain babbling, and oppositions of science falsely so-called,\u201d we are told to \u201cavoid\u201d (1 Tim. 6:20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents should think long, hard and sensibly about how children are \u201ceducated\u201d in today\u2019s colleges and universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
