Belief in God associated with variety of mental illnesses condition's
This study examines the association between beliefs about God and psychiatric symptoms in the context of Evolutionary Threat Assessment System Theory, using data from the 2010 Baylor Religion Survey of US Adults (N = 1,426). Three beliefs about God were tested separately in ordinary least squares regression models to predict five classes of psychiatric symptoms: general anxiety, social anxiety, paranoia, obsession, and compulsion. Belief in a punitive God was positively associated with four psychiatric symptoms, while belief in a benevolent God was negatively associated with four psychiatric symptoms, controlling for demographic characteristics, religiousness, and strength of belief in God. Belief in a deistic God and one’s overall belief in God were not significantly related to any psychiatric symptoms.

Re: Belief in God associated with variety of mental illnesses condition's
I believe in a car god (Hephaestus). I've sacrificed so much time and money on forged metals that I can walk across any street at any time as long as I don't hesitate. If you sacrifice in their name, they will reward you.

p.s. they love little children.
Eat, drink, and be merry,

Re: Belief in God associated with variety of mental illnesses condition's
That's a bunch of crap. There are so, so many other factors that can contribute to that, it's not even funny. Besides, if people are willing to face up to the truth mentally and emotionally and at times spiritually, they'll get healing of their 'mental problems' eventually.

For the most part, this is a bunch of mumbo jumbo that keeps people 'boxed in' whatever label has been assigned to them. Rarely is anyone really mentally sick.

Heterosexuality is linked with many rape cases, does that mean we should all become homosexuals ?

Don't have anything against homosexuals, just using the same logical process.

NB: To let you know, rational materialist atheists who never give a damn about/respect anything or anyone whatsoever are the worst I've met.
