thats part of the point of this thread...
where does should the dividing line be?
just in matters of faith? or more..?

Psychology doesn't really deal with matters of faith and religious leaders don't touch on psychology. I say they are completely different entities and both need help individually.
rafsta:
it depends...
but if you see a good priest, they always give you the right advice... a psychiatrist is a professional, but a priest is also a moral professional, they study like 7 years to become a priest... even if youre not religous, a good priest will give moral advice that will always be correct...

just wondered how people feel about this issue..
personally i feel that religious 'professionals' have no reason to be all up in certain aspects of peoples lives and that it should be left to trained professionals.

Well of course you'd believe that, you're not religious! I wouldn't expect you to believe preachers know what they're talking about when you don't believe in what they're saying, it's paradoxial.
I've always felt you get the best advice from people that know you the most. In your case, you wouldn't get much good advice from a preacher, because they don't know a thing about you. Psychiatrists may be trained better or whatever, but they're just taking shots in the dark in most instances, no one can honestly know what another person thinks or feels enough to accurately give advice all of the time... so in these instances you're best to ask your parents, or your friends, or your siblings, whatever because they're going to know you enough to give the best advice.
For instance, you might be wondering about moving jobs, your preacher might tell you that yeah, it sounds like something they'd do because you'd spend less time at work at the new job, and more time with your family. The psychiatrist might tell you yeah, it sounds like a good thing to do because the job seems to be more fullfilling and perhaps you'll enjoy it better, but your friends might know you enough to know that you have 10 friends where you're working now who you'd hate to leave behind, and advise you the raise isn't worth losing all your friends
or whatever

I wouldnt ask any of them, I think your friends and family would be most qualified as they know you better.
