Is Christianity a form of mental disorder?
by John Doe intake the average born again.
they begin their day imagining a powerful imaginary friend, and then go around mocking rational people and daring them to disprove the imaginary friend exists.
some even hear voices from their imaginary friend and claim he exercises magic for their benefit.

"...well, i think it is fair to say that if you were to...".
you can read it in context somewhere else probably.

I was at a church in Port Glasgow on Sunday night that's affiliated with Teen Challenge, a Christian outreach aimed at helping people with addictions. The church was packed, but most of those there weren't Christians; they were down-and-outs, prostitutes, addicts; people in the worst straits imaginable. We sang songs, a few people told their testimony of how their life had been cleaned up and then at the end massive boxes of food; bread, cakes, tinned goods etc, were brought out and those who needed it were able to take what they wanted.
Each Friday night throughout Glasgow and the surrounding area buses arrive with hot tea, coffee, soup, sandwiches on-board, manned by Christians who want to feed the hungry sleeping rough in the city. There's no evangelising. They just want to make a difference. Some of my closest friends work on these buses and they are the most sincere, kind people you could ever meet.
I fully recognise the appalling crap done in the name of Christ, the nutters who let children die rather than go to a hospital because they want God to heal their child, people who blow up abortion clinics and similar. It makes me sick to my stomach. But I don't think the minority of nut-job so-called Christians take away from the majority of Christians who genuinely want to make a difference in the world, whether it's through feeding the homeless, building schools in Africa or knocking doors with a Christian Aid collection tin.

PWP, I think on occassion that you are over the top, but (if you will allow me) I put you with Chalam and PSacramento as Christians who I enjoy talking and debating these issues with, in spite of disagreements, etc.
May your god bless you.
Cheers mate.

How'd I know PP would show up spouting nonsense about his oppressed people? Now all we need is Perry.
Y'know, it's weird, but when I saw your typically blunt post about locking all religious people up, I wasn't at all surprised!

Christianity is not a mental disorder. But there are Christians who are mental.
My friend Jeff nails it with typical grace and aplomb.

Dixie, many people that have been "scared" by religion have a hard time seeing all the good that can coem from Faith and that is understandable and it really sin't their fault if they can't see it, after all, if something was so obvious it wouldn't need to be pointed out.
I think that all the good that is donein God's name doesn't get the press it deserves, typically because those that do good don't care or need the press, nevertheless, we shoudl remember that many of the things we have now that we take for granted, Hospitals, homeless shelters, food kitchens, were "created" by beleivers of God, many of them Christians, and even many of our Laws are "god inspired".
Its ok to point out the bad in things, so that they may be corrected, but lets not forget to point out the good too.
Excellent points.

Passwordprotected, do you want pity exclusively for members of your own religion that are treated like that or are you willing to realize that the crimes of Christendom throughout its existence are equivalent to the ones you are showing us? By the way the title of this thread should be reworded as, Is religion a form of mental disorder?
I don't want any pity. The title of the thread is not "Is religion a form of mental disorder". It's focus is on Christians.
Christendom's crimes and shocking are well documented and cannot be excused or whitewashed.
The picture can be found on the article I linked to.

Yep, and if we could have them all (not just Christians) locked up, the world would be a much safer place.
[edited to remove picture of burned Christian girl; at least she wasn't locked up]
I think that may have already happened in certain places. Did it result in safer places?
Just out of interest, with all of the Christians in prison, who'd run the Christian charities in their place?
