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

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28765560 The bible defines religion thus: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matt. 4:4) Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7254491 everyone is a radical fundamentalist believer in their religion as of now, you are a radical fundamental believer in yourself as a living god You gave me a good laugh with that one. I am just a tiny soul in the grand scheme of things. How can one choose the "correct" religion? Perhaps each one has a piece, and the puzzle can only be completed when they all come together and agree on the larger picture? It would seem more could be achieved by working together than by arguing or warring over who is correct. a complex creation must have a creator...have you ever seen a tornado accidentally assemble a jet plane? so there must be a God, one God, one truth God makes the rules, not his creation God says man will know the Bible is His Word because it is the only Word that always tells the truth about everything And it does. It is the Word of God Which bible? Old testament, New testament, Mormon, Jehovah Witness, Muslim (yes, they pick and choose to add to the Qur'an), Jewish, Catholic? The English translation of God's Word is in the King James Bible, virtually identical to the Dead Sea Scrolls. According to God, man is to live by every word (Matt. 4:4), Old Testament and New Testament. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Gen. 1:1) In the beginning was the Word (John 1:1) |

Seriously, we don't all 'believe' in evolution. Most of us are open to a multitude of possibilities with regards the origins of humankind. And even if some of us do 'believe' in evolution and that we evolved from some primordial sludge, we don't get on our knees and attempt having a personal relationship with it! You muppet! :-) There are only 2 religions, and everyone has one. Either God created everything, or everything created itself. Being "open to a multitude of possibilities" doesn't change the fact that there are only 2. But you well know this, you wicked deceiver. Actually, the 3rd possibility is that there was no beginning. that's not a 3rd possibility, that's just another way of saying there is no God and everything created itself that's what happens to your brains when taking psychedelics and whoring after the filth spewed by this satanic wizard: Joe! I didn't realize it was you again. Anyway, our mortal minds are limited to understanding everything in measurements. To believe that eternity does exist (which, it does), you would have to conclude that existence would be as infinite as the nothingness that preceded it.

You wanted me to quote the entire bible? The OP asked if "religion" is a mental illness, and I picked a verse that defines what religion is, according to the bible ITSELF. Even though I don't agree with the OP in general, I do believe that you have some mental issues. ^^^ And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist (1 John 4:3) Ye shall know them by their fruits (Matt. 7:16). It's really hilarious watching you continue to post bible verses at me, as if I disagree with ANY of them... lol I DO confess Jesus (Yeshua) as the Savior. And how are my fruits bad, if I merely answered the OP with a bible verse that is JUST AS VALID as the ones that you have posted?? To keep oneself unspotted from the world, is a good way to describe true religion, if limited to just one verse. I didn't go into rabid attack mode, like you people who give the truth a bad name. Condemning and rebuking other believers, based on the fact that they don't read your mind perfectly, and post a whole slew of verses, in order to satisfy you. You are the EXACT kind that keeps non-believers from even WANTING to believe. Still a baby "Christian" who beats people over the head, like clanging cymbals. Your initial post was right below mine, but apparently you were replying to the OP. You could have clarified that in your prior post (condemning and rebuking other believers, based on the fact that they don't read your mind perfectly?) You are the EXACT kind that keeps non-believers from even WANTING to believe. Still a baby "Christian" who beats people over the head, like clanging cymbals. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28765560 A follower of Christ preaches God's truth without shame (Mark 8:38), and does not worry about selling God to non-believers. no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. (1 Cor. 12:3) Preach the word (2 Tim. 4:2) Actually, the true man of God (if He is truly not ashamed), IS to preach the word to believers and non-believers alike. In season and out of season. How do you expect non-believers to ever believe? God uses PEOPLE to preach the word, and the Holy Spirit works through people. Ya know... People like you are the very type that are so DRIVEN to be "right", that they will argue with people who are in perfect agreement with the scriptures, just so that they can appear to be MORE right, than a fellow believer. I realize that you cannot see it for yourself, but it is really nauseating, to people who can. I bet you could find a way to argue with someone for a straight hour, who believes in Christ with all their heart. |
