Do you suffer with a headache?  For how long?  Do you take an NSAID to
reduce the pain?  Would you take a stronger medication if it was
prescribed by your doctor for a serious injury?  If you are willing to
employ drugs to mitigate your sensation of physical pain, then why the
double-standard for drugs to mitigate unpleasant mental health
maladies?  I don't know what to say about your conversation with
people regarding heaven/hell/God/etc.
