    i have been noticing alot lately that people with doctorine degrees are writing books, great for them. But there books usually end up with a bunch of bullshit theories about spirituality that end up in cults. For some reason our society trusts a person with a doctors degree as if he were god himself they think that if the doctor says it it must be true. how can we dispell this rumor?
