I went to Chapman University in California, where I earned degrees in psychology and became a professional therapist. To the extent that we studied Scripture, we only cherry-picked verses or read them out of context. I was taught to ignore the “negative” parts of the Bible, such as the fall of humanity and the crucifixion of Jesus.
