As far the psychiatric drugs go - let me tell you about a certain birth mother I know about. She is diagnosed with schizophrenia. When she got pregnant, she chose to carry the baby instead of aborting (for that I am so very grateful!). But in order to protect the unborn baby, she had to be taken off of all of her drugs. By the time she gave birth, she had to life-flighted to a much larger hospital and then hospitalized for over 2 months trying to get her back on track.
You can play God all you'd like with people's lives. But personally, I think you are on dangerous territory.

Ditto me for Margies response here to Jay.
Jay, you sound like one of those nuts who ends up in jail for not getting medical attention for a child. I doubt that is how you meant to come across but it is the logical end to your logic.
Regarding this thread in general I think it proves that becoming a Christian does not make a person not an idiot. Well to be more kindly becoming a Christian doesn't automatically give people wisdom, discernment, and common sense. None of which it appears the person had that approached Matt.
Amanah, I was horrified at the confession you made about how you discouraged an alcoholic from going to AA but the fact that upon reflection you know it was a mistake means you have matured a lot since then. Probably both spiritually and in other ways.
This thread is exactly why it is important for Christians to have a good pastor to teach them balance and context for all things spiritual.
