EFT Tapping is based on the belief that tapping your face obsessively while muttering the same phrases over and over is a reliable path to mental health. Emotional Freedom Therapy is snake oil. It's not based on reliable independent science. It's faith healing. We can do better.

EFT tapping is religion. It asks therapists to tell their clients that they have invisible magic energies that do not exist. "Emotional Freedom Therapy" is hocus pocus, not scientifically-valid therapy. Leave EFT to the New Age festivals. Leave EFT out of therapy.

Why are so many liberal Christians standing by and saying nothing as Donald Trump prepares to make their religion the official state religion on May 17? Does it suit their egos to have their God fluffed up by Trump? Do they really think this fascist theocracy makes their faith more appealing?

The attempted assassin of Trump, Cole Tomas Allen, is a Christian, who belonged to a Christian fellowship at Caltech. Donald Trump said "When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians". That is FALSE. The manifesto says absolutely nothing at all about hating Christians.

There's a completely debunked fake meme been going around since 2016 claiming Trump told Phil Donahue that he is an atheist. The quote is bogus. The interview never happened. Trump is a lifelong Christian - a nasty toxic Christian. Christians need to own that truth, not make up fake memes.
