Is religion a mental illness? Or does it exploit mental illness?

This is so beautiful, I may cry.
my lord, my love spaghetti.
He created the world in a couple hours, once his meatballs were done.

Your sins are forgiven.

I thought he was. I am cool with all religious opinion, as long as every one realizes they all have an uproariously funny aspect to them. If they keep their BS to themselves and it does not affect me, then I will keep my BS to myself and avoid affecting others with it.

This!

The problem is these obnoxious religions instruct their slaves to NEVER stop until the whole world has been infected with the same delusions as them...

The world has a mental cancer and it's name is religion.

That's very similar to libtardism, which is a religion in its own right.

All political ideologies are religions. I don't think anyone would argue will argue with that.

Have you read the Constitution where it allows all religion, who are not violent, including your pagan religion?

Freedom of Conscience. If you are against that then find somewhere else to live. There is nowhere that believes as your illiterate ass does.

both.

You've used the word "illiterate" incorrectly.

All religions are certainly permissible in this world. It doesn't make their followers any less insane.

The funny thing about this Freethinkianists/Star-Trekianists/Richard DORKianists is that they are literally 10x worst than the people they claim to be against.

But the cherry on top of the cake is the "Freethinkers" thing...they ALL say and think the same shit as anyone noticed it?

I don't know why religitards think rejecting all religion = Atheist.

Perhaps it's because they don't "think" at all.

Yep. The mandatory Freethinkianist "Buahhh i be smarter than you Buahhh! If you not Freethinkianist you not be smart buahhhhh!"

It's a religion period.

There is no proof for 'mental illness'.

And since Christianity is the true history of the world then it is all others who wrong. If you want to call that a mental illness then feel free. But since You OP are no Christian you will need to include yourself in the 'mentally ill'.

I think your 'wise' words speak for themselves.

The insane will never perceive their own insanity.

I do so love the Moebius loop logic of religious folk.
The Bible is true because it says it is.
A lack of religious belief is a religion.
Apples are renegade oranges.
As long as it doesn't make sense it must be true.

It's a kind of Catch 22 situation isn't it?

Really? no fucking way?!? all I have to do is ask and I'll find out what rhymes with orange?





Religion is like a penis, it's great to have, it's ok to be proud of, but for fuck sakes stop pulling it out in public and stop trying to stick it down my kids throats.

The thing that really steams me about most religitards is that they base their beliefs on dubious information written thousands of years ago by fishermen, lawyers, sheep herders, bureaucrats and the such. Then they demand that everone believe exactly as they do on threat of eternal damnation, torment and unspeakable suffering imposed by a loving god. I have to wonder if the strength of their belief is so weak that they become very frightened and threatened when anyone believes differently.

As for their habit of demanding that others believe that their scriptures (and their's alone) are literally true they very much remind me of the pretty but dopy young woman in the State Farm TV ads who insists that everything on the internet is true because she read on the internet that information can not be on the internet if it is not true. Give me a damn break.

As a child the first huge hole I saw in various religion's theology is that religionists absolutely refuse to consider that the choice of what religion they espouse is determined almost entirely by the religion of their parents and the geographical location of their birth and childhood. A child born to Hindu parents who grew up in India is almost certain to be a Hindu unless they are intelligent enough to see through all the religious bullshit.

The very same child if adopted by a Southern Baptist couple from Alabama and reared in Alabama would almost certainly be a Southern Baptist who believes Hindus are godless heathen. Choice of religion is very frequently a lottery of parentage and geography. That seems to me to be a terribly inadequate route to deciding you know the REAL TRUTH.

As for those who insist that there only two religions, God and evolution, in which camp do you place devout, god fearing Muslims or Sikhs?

On top of these factors and thousands of other problems with organized religions there is also the fact that the great American philosopher, George Carlin, taught us. God is all seeing, all knowing and all poiwerful, but the poor guy never learned to manage money. He is always needing more and more.

Religion provides a framework for the maintaining of morals.

Follow holy ways of The Purple Flying Spaghetti Monster and he shall awaken your mind with his vast noodly wisdom.

The answer to your question is "door-hinge" my Son.

Eat long and prosper.

How do you even know my religion? Why do you assumed that i'm a religious person in the way that you think i am? Because what you have is a Dogma created by the Zionists (Ziocrats).

Here is the thing about the Bible. It is occultist to the core and deeply related to everything that is going on.

You read "Revelations" and it has "Occult" written all over. But you really really need to be informed about what is going on to realize this. However, you "Freethinkianists" being the hyper-dogmatic religious folk that you are don't have what it takes. For you "Knowledge" mean knowing about Star Trek, babble about "science" and parrot Masonic Ziocrats like Richard DORKins.

Doubt me?

Has anyone every heard a Freethinkianist saying: "I don't like science very much, it's not my thing. I'm down with the Non-God God(tm), the Lame Overused Blasphemous Jokes(tm), the Standard Freethinkianist Arguments that we Heard from Our Freethinkianist Preachers(tm)...but the Standard Freethinkianist Science Babble(tm) is just not my thing". You never hear a Freethinkianist saying that right? Can you say "Religion"+"Dogma"?

In other words it's a method of mind control for weak-willed individuals.

You mad brah? Why you so tense if you're going to "heaven"?

Chill the fuck out and go pray to your god.

Ok lets agree that the bible is a fabricated story for the purpose of control.

Do you see yourself on the path to finding the source truth?

Where would you find the source truth?

Coincidences? Dreams?

when you are in harmony with your life, when you spontaneously feel happy for no reason at all, you also instinctively believe in a greater intelligence which created the world around you

angry bitter people like OP, who are full of false pride in their supposed intelligence, are the ones who have no faith in anything except the state

so therefore, I think atheism and lack of faith is a disease, and those who are angriest about religion are the ones who are most diseased

Communism, Marxism, Nazism and the other mental diseases which came about after the industrial revolution are the ones most eager to destroy faith in god...because they need to have the population dependent on the state, without any hope of something greater than man coming to their rescue

evil....

The only truth that we can be ABSOLUTELY certain of... (if we are honest with ourselves) is that we know NOTHING AT ALL.

Let's not allow our lives to be strictly ruled by man-mae assumptions, beliefs, or faiths.

Let's allow our minds to flow freely as we explore our existence, based not on what dead people have written, but what we experience for ourselves, augmented, but not controlled by the experiences of others.

Why are you so full of false assumptions? Do you fabricate every portion of your fantasy world just so it somehow makes sense inside your backwards ideology?

As I clearly stated in the above post, I don't dogmatically cling to ANY man made ideology. My stance is that none of us can ever truly KNOW anything and neither you nor anyone else can prove that to be false.

As such, I have no love for political religions any more than I do spiritual religions.

But you are free to make up fantasy caricatures of me that you can then bash inside your feeble mind.
