Ever noticed religious people share many traits with diagnosed schizophrenics?

I'm sorry to disappoint your little delusion, but while I find a lot in organized religion to be bulls*** because of the way man twist things, I do find God to be very real! And I assure you that my wife and I are quite sane.

Nice back handed attempt at an insult.

Wait...why are we even discussing this? The RR wishes to use the government to legislate puritan anti-sex values and homophobia. The Left just wants to ensure you have your children wear seat-belts in a moving car.




All of them and none of them.
No I'm not. I don't believe in organized religion and don't participate.
But I'm also not an atheist.

Don't confuse belief in God with organized religion because they are two different things.

How do you know the answer to the greatest question in life, when you can't even predict tomorrow?

How did you obtain such powerful psychic abilities? Maybe you can interpret my dreams, since you possess such wonderous powers.

If someone can believe in God without that belief being instilled by organized religion, why can't someone be moral without their morality being instilled by a belief in God?

You do realize that this question works both ways, right?

Scientist: most evidence seems to support Big Bang Cosmology. The Genesis creation myth is contracted b-

Scientist: b-
Fundy: you are arrogant, and close-minded. The bible explains everything. It is perfect. God is infallible. My beliefs will never change, and I am 100% certain of their validity. You, my friend, are just close minded and inflexible.

Sorry but you are part of the same cult that protects child rapists.

What does your "real" god have to say about that?

Make no mistake, religion is nothing but a vehicle for control and money.

Should we run down the list of symptoms of schizophrenia and see how well they match up with religious people?

Wow. Atheists and extreme lefties b*** and moan about Christians being intolerant, when in fact there are many of us who are believers that are very tolerable and good hearted people, and yet you paint us all with a broad brush, and lump us in with the extremist types.
