Mental illness and religion.

@hippyjoe1955 too funny that you call me mentally unstable for denying the 'reality' when you can't even prove it's real. 😂 Your thoughts are nothing more of result of too many drugs and lack of logical thinking. Why should anyone listen to you?

@hippyjoe1955 You said "Even more mentally ill" so you do believe belief in a god is a mental illness?

@Entwistle Try reading my comment in context. You do know what context is don't you? I hope I don't have to explain it to you.

@HeteroDox You? Who's you? You can't speak for other people. You are making grand assumptions. You didn't live anyone's life but your own so you can't make those kind of sweeping statements with any validity. I believe in God and I was never told that or raised that way.

@SW-User I speak sociologically. If you take it personally, that's your issue.

@Entwistle I don't think a psychiatrist would [i]touch[/i] that.

@Entwistle Speaking of control. Sounds like someone is being controlled by another person sitting in a chair with a piece of paper on the wall...

@Miram How are religions clinically defined?
No religion is static.

@Entwistle

Defining religion isn't within the scope of psychiatry. I said being religious doesn't fit the criteria for a mental illness diagnosis.

[quote]No religion is static.[/quote]

There are many religious laws related to religious morality that haven't changed since centuries which is my point.

@Mamapolo2016 Okay. I have a friend called Eric,i saw him walk on water and raise the dead..would a psychiatrist deem me insane for saying and believing that? What if I told him my friend was a ghost called Jesus?

@Entwistle Probably a psychiatrist would. I have a friend who is violently opposed to the right of people to wear orange, even if they do nothing else illegal. She wants them all put in an insane asylum. She lobbies for this every chance she gets. Is she entirely sane?

@Mamapolo2016 No she isn't entirely sane.

@Magenta Indeed they could. Care to give an example?

@JBird well any stable person knows it's all happened, just as condemning religion, as you are.
It's not that I support any of that.
Conversation over.

If you are stable person and believe everything in the Bible happened, explain how did Adam and Eve populated the world with just two of them? I mean they had two sons with one of them died, so how was it possible?

Then in the Noah's ark, how did he managed to fit million species of animals from all over the world in the ark with some of them not adaptable to the environment in the ark, managed to survive the journey without animals killing each other?


How do you explain the significance of existence of heaven if only dead people can go there and as we know we can't speak to the dead?

How do you explain the validity of relating earth being flat in the Bible when it's actually round?

@Virgo79 as i said, conversation over🙂

@JohnOinger Non... just indoctrinated.

@ancientmariner Hell and heaven are temporary mental states.

@Entwistle glad you think you're the authority on this subject but you are not. You are just seeking attention imo and I'm done giving you mine

@ancientmariner Nice to know you think what I think. Bye then.

@JBird The problem with your silliness is that you assume that someone holding to their faith practices is 'hating' someone. The fact is those who are accusing Christians of hating are just as hateful if not more so. Funny how it is that only one side is calling the other for being so hateful. Kind of like Antifa in the US accusing the right wing of violence when in fact the only violence is coming from Antifa.

Wow, why are you proving that you are so stupid and can't understand English despite being a native English speaker? I said I don't have a problem as long as they don't [b]use religion[/b] to hurt others. It's not hateful to talk about someone's wrong doing. Of course, you can't understand that because you're immature, stupid and egotistical. You're desparate to prove that all of Christians are innocent. But reality says another thing. Some Christians harass homosexuals, women and children because they feel they are not following their doctrines. If you were smart, you would have understand bad people are everywhere. But no, your 5 year old mentality doesn't allow that and you bully people. Insult never work. Get that into your thick head.

1. I didn't say all religious people are hateful.
2. You called me hateful first, so your statement applies to you than me. Funny how all of your claims backfires. 😂 Why are you so dumb?

This applies to you again. You accused me of calling religious people hateful and proceeds to call me hateful when in reality I never generalised religious people. You are the only one here being hateful. 😂😂😂

Listen, I will you give an advice. I know you are trying so hard to show everyone that you're smart and your beliefs are right. You have to know you're being really stupid and fail to prove your God is real. That's why I said your beliefs should be yours only. Don't expect others to agree with that because they have different outlook on life or in your case, higher level of intelligence than you. 😂 Not only that you misread my comments and became aggressive for non existent reasons. I suggest you to act only after thinking logically rather than on your emotions. Good day.

@boklenholley7 It certainly does keep a lot of people in check.

@Entwistle Are you that out of touch with reality? They go to work: same as you and I do. They raise children and cook dinner: same as you and I.

@Success I know that.

@Success Many mentally ill folk can and do go to work,maintain a home,have kids etc.
