I am a Christian and I love psychology. I know that some Christians take offense to this, my own father included, and I'm curious why.
Why is it so controversial for a Christian to be interested in psychology? Is it somehow wrong for us to investigate how the brain works?
It shouldn't be controversial - psychology is a wonderful tool. You need to understand how the mind works and how best to approach people to get points across, help them, and get along with them - we all pick some of this up subtly through social interaction. Psychology doesn't have to clash with Christianity depending on the school of thought - there are plenty of talented psychologists who are also Christian.
