I would like to propose that religious beliefs be placed in the DSM as a category of mental illness for the following reasons:
(1) Hallucinations - the person has invisible friends who (s)he insists are real, and to whom (s)he speaks daily, even though nobody can actually see or hear
these friends.
(2) Delusions - the patient believes that the invisible friends have magical powers to make them rich, cure cancer, bring about world peace, and will do so eventually if asked.
(3) Denial/Inability to learn - though the requests for world peace remain unanswered, even after hundreds of years, the patients persist with the praying behaviour, each time expecting different results.CONTROVERSY: Islamic Fundamentalism Explained
(4) Inability to distinguish fantasy from reality - the beliefs are contingent upon ancient mythology being accepted as historical fact.
(5) Paranoia - the belief that anyone who does not share their supernatural concept of reality is "evil," "the devil," "an agent of Satan".
(6) Emotional abuse - religious concepts such as sin, hell, cause feelings of guilt, shame, fear, and other types of emotional "baggage" which can scar the
psyche for life.FEATURED ARTICLE: Self-Abuse: The New-Age Anorexia
(7) Violence - many patients insist that others should share in their delusions, even to the extent of using violence.

Religion + Genius = More Religion! (& fuel efficient cars!) Humanity would still be milking cows on farms for a living if it wasn't for the Bible.
And the churches' Military Industrial Complex-spawned DARPA. Ya see? If hadn't been any religions America would've lost World War I and World War II and KOREA!
No churches = no America. No Pope = No Billy Graham! America would be a technologically-stagnating hell without the Bible!

Hmm. Yours is a good answer too but I was thinking of something IN THE BIBLE not extrapolated from the Bible. Such as Job 37 vss 11 & 12 =>
11 Yes, with moisture he burdens the cloud,
His light scatters the cloud mass,12 And it is being turned round about by his steering [them] for their performance b: Wherever he commands them upon the face of the productive land of the earth.
Changing the weather. The Anti-Christ saw that in the Bible and decided if God could do it then they also could do it. And so it happened just so. hahahaha Light energy and radio energy are almost synonymous. Verse 12 steering the clouds around, done deal.
With the help of taxpayer sweat~money you can copy lots of stuff from the Bible, no matter whether the taxpayers believe in or not. Just keep the TAXPAYERS Barefoot & Pregnant, that's the ticket, yeah, and go carousing the bars all night!!!

Listen, the "anti-Christ" I know that sounds like ONE MAN, and that's what the churches have all said, but they don't know the Bible. Look! When Jesus made up his stories, his "parables", he used one person to represent entire classes of people. One for instance among many is the rich man and Lazarus parable. He used this technique all through his preaching.
hahaha
The Anti-Christ is really a consortium, a Group Political Anti-Christ.

These people of this group Anti-Christ constitute Satan's "kingdom". Jesus stated Satan has a kingdom at Matthew 12 v 26 => "26 In the same way, if Satan expels Satan, he has become divided against himself; how, then, will his kingdom stand?"
But Jesus has a heaven-based kingdom, see Daniel 2 v 44 => "44 “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite".
Remember what the angel told Mary? He said to her there would be NO END to the child's KINGDOM. We're close to this time. The kingdom of Satan has drained us of all our hard-earned monies through taxes, not to protect us but to protect their MONEY, to keep Jesus from taking their Power.

They used the Bible as their playbook, studying Jesus prophecies and every letter in it, even counting the spaces between its words hunting for hidden clues to even more great ideas. You better believe they believe the Bible is true.
They've siphoned every penny from your pockets to prepare for the final war with Jesus.
Two governments are about to go into war. Why do you think all the world governments have suddenly been cooperating so much hmm? Read the whole Chapter 2 of Daniel. The governments make up different parts of the "statue". They feel threatened now so the "parts" of the statue have pulled in close together, tightening their ranks so to speak.
This tells us how close we are to Armageddon, amongst many other places.

There are a whole species of beings, if not more than one race of entities, that we human beings, homo sapiens, would consider to match the definition of being godS, (plural), as they are as close to being omnipotent as as any living being within the limits and confines of the Physical universe can ever naturally evolve to become.
But the god that is blindly worshipped by the devotee followers to any of the world's three monotheistic religious cults, the god of Abraham, goes not exist.
(I am forced to flat out just plainly refuse to believe that any living being in the universe could ever possibly be as Malevolent, Vindictive, Sadistic, and Manipulative as the deity that is portrayed throughout the Bible.)

I don't know who wrote it but I like it."Christianity....The belief that some Jewish cosmic zombie can make you live for ever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

By the way Floyd, you never heard of "ventriloquism"? If people can do it then an invisible angel named Satan would find it a piece of cake.
Snakes shed their skin by rubbing up against a tree's bark, so very likely the snake was used to voice to Eve how touching the tree would NOT cause her to die because Look! => the snake was doing it and not dying.
The snake was the perfect choice.
When people fall for all these arguments why the Bible has to be wrong they are being duped by their over-riding DESIRE not to have to live by its standards. Freedom from God can also include freedom from everlasting happiness. This planet is gonna ROCK once Satan is gone.
Think about the last 50-60 years, and all the promises that were shoved at us over the TV shows & movies, Walter Cronkite and the flying cars, flying back packs anti-gravity, space flight we now know they intend ONLY FOR THE RICH. We just work and grovel along paying taxes watching THEM and their greedy friends go up laughing at the ants beneath them.
If you want it, Satan's system won't give it to ya, but in the near future Jesus will. Satan is a false Jesus. He loves watching us WRITHING IN PAIN, doing without, our flesh falling from our bones, our lungs filling with poison gas whether from a concentration camp or a wrecked railroad tanker spilling its contents right next to your house, or on your car with you and your family in it.
There's a company right now setting up shop down at the Equator to make our next car fuel from ocean water, using a process to make anhydrous ammonia. It has already obtained financing and is under way. That's what Satan's system has planned for you, all of ya. They're making hell on earth even worse.
Lose the brainwashing Floyd. Find a Kingdom Hall. Get in the real line. The one you're in sucks rotten eggs.

The appeal of "mining" anhydrous ammonia from the equator is that they will be harnessing the energy in the solar-heated waters as a large part of their power source.
It will make a nice floating target for terrorists. And of course that's actually a GOOD THING because once everyone is using it for fuel they have to be wringing their hands 24 hours a day hoping nobody is drawing a bead on the floating ammonia platforms... not to mention that if they did nuke the system all the anhydrous mixing with OCEAN WATER would immediately spread worldwide poisoning the entire ocean system and all life in it would be dead.
That's what Satan has on your docket, more worry, more pain, more death of everything on Planet Earth. But you might decide it's an allowed inconvenience since nobody has a better system => except that would be wrong. I've been publishing an engine system that mixes super cold liquid air with a pre-steamed cylinder that enjoys a doubled explosive energy, since mid-2003.
I fixed an engine system that had run in 1997 on compressed nitrogen, but its inventor had made some mistakes. I was able to correct them. My engine was further designed in 2008 to be an artificial heart-like system. It needs no more fuel than what it contains off the assembly line, no need for service station fuel pumps, no need for tanker cars hauling it.
Burn Baby Burn is what a person's eyeballs does on contact with anhydrous ammonia wafting across the field from the railroad tracks. Out where the children play.
We all are living in Japan soon unless Jesus arrives, and that's what he does soon otherwise no flesh on Earth would be saved.

Satan (the name comes from the Hebrew/Arabic word “Ha-al-Shaitan”, meaning “adversary” or “accuser”) was a concept first developed by those who compiled the presently accepted version of the Bible in the late 4th century AD. The concept was common among the pagan religions of the ancients, Anuke (Anubis) or Setesh (Seth) in Egypt, Enkidu in Sumerian Mesopotamia, Hades in Greece, Vishnu or Shiva to the Hindus, Kallima in India, Pluto in the Roman Empire. All were gods or goddesses of Death and/or destruction. Rather than an evil-incarnate. Both Vishnu and Shiva, and Enki; were ALSO gods and goddesses of CREATION as well as destruction. Therefore, the general consensus being is that Jehovah or Jahweh (God) And Shaitan (The devil) are, in reality, one and the same.
This is why the Freemasons were so mercilessly and relentlessly hunted and persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church, because the Deist philosophy that the “god” of creation and “mother” Nature (or Gaia: “Mother” Earth) were as matter of actual facts one and the same also implied that the Biblical God of Abraham and the “Adversary of Allah”, Shaitan, were also one and the same.
(The Old Testament Book of Genesis refers to the entity being that gifted to humankind the fruit from the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden by the name “Lucifer”; which in the original Latin literally translates to mean “The Bringer of Enlightenment”)
(Lucifer, the “Bringer of Light” was also the ancients’ name for the planet Venus, the “Morning and Evening Star”) - 1 year ago

if we set up a geothermal power plant in Yellowstone National Park.
On the one hand, we could very easily produce more than enough electricity to power the United States of America for the rest of the foreseeable future.
On the other hand, the act of depriving Geothermal electrical power from Yellowstone would inevitably cause the world's largest known active supervolcano to erupt, plunging the planet earth into the equivalent of an "impact winter" global ice age, and exterminating all human life as we know from the face of the earth.It's a trade-off. a give-and-take

The three Abrahamic religions are all beliving in the same god. There is no dought that Jews, christians and muslims don't see eye to eye. The insignifigant differences are nothing compared to the huge similaries. You will never dismantle these. Only a small portion of whackos would ever want to kill another in the name of their religion. Tolerance for other peoples beliefs is what it will take to overcome all the wars. Peace, love for others, organic gardening, rallying folks together to speak out against the corruption, are the keys for change. Your anti-religous views will only cause more fighting and wars.

Young Adolph Hitler was placed in a Benedictine school. It was sort of doing double duty as a swastika museum. Pope Benedict won't ever admit his people molested young Mr. Hitler => causing him to become the killing machine monster we know him as.
Catholic butt-jumping Religion caused the gas chambers?, caused the near-total destruction of the most beautiful and nice people in the world the English of England?, caused the worst wars and millions of horrible war deaths of European women and children and women pregnant with babies that died in their belly???
Yep.
Catholic needs to disappear from this pitiable planet just like Ian_Judge_Lord has commented below, we are in complete agreement on that point. Catholic is filth and scum masquerading as God's Chosen. It isn't. Catholic has been SATAN'S WILLING & VERY USEFUL TOOL for centuries. Stain remover would be too good for Pope Benedict.

You're looking at the Bible through a very thick veil that has been developed and refined over the centuries inside Christendom. Their beliefs require gobs of raw faith because they don't make sense. They border on pure hocus-pocus.
What the Bible really teaches is spot on. The Bible says they will be accorded much pain for having misled so many people away from the Truth. I don't see where that will help you much though cause after Christendom goes down it'll be your turn.
You could have pleaded ignorance but unfortunately for you you got contacted by me if no one else, so ignorance is a fail.

If we don’t systematically de-construct the world three primary major Abrahamic Monotheistic Religions) then there might not be much LEFT of the Planet Earth by the time 2050 rolls around.
Just a lifeless, uninhabitable, irradiated, barren desolate hunk of partly molten rock twirling around the sun, in the grips of a thermonuclear impact winter deep-freeze global ice age (scientists call it “snowball earth”, and it has happened before), And it would be inevitable unavoidable inexorable irrevocable end result of the thermonuclear war that the Christian Western European Industrialized nations will instigate wen [as they already have a decade ago] they begin to start ruthlessly, mercilessly, and relentlessly invading the Muslim Developing Nations of the Middle East and West Asia
It happened a millennium ago, with the Holy Roman Empire and the Moorish and Ottoman Caliphates, and it will happen again, with the Christian Fundamentalist Radical Extremist Fanaticism of the so-called “Republican quote-en-quote “Tea Party” GOP, with radicalized cult organizations such as the “Foundation for a Better Life” and “Focus on the Family” on one side, And with Palestine’s Hamas, Syria’s Hezbollah, Pakistan’s Taliban and the Saudi’s Al-Quaieda, along with the theocratic dictatorships of Iran, Libya, and Yemen (including the American-military-occupied Vichy Iraq and Afghanistan) on the other.
If he so chose, the Pope, with a single word and/or wave of his hand, could command all of his followers to exterminate any and all “non-believers”, to kill all people of all other religious faiths.
This would incite a religious holy war on a scale unlike anything ever seen in the history of humanity and while not all Christians follow the pope, as “non-believers”, under this command, they would also be killed too, along with around about approximately roughly five sixths of the world population (only one billion people, or 1/8 in the world are Christian).
These cults, Christianity alone with one-in-six human beings living on this planet, must be taken apart piece by piece.

The only way that there is left available to us to adequately deal with these crazed lunatic maniacs, and the emotionally and psychologically unstable psychotic paranoid delusional schizophrenic dissociative sociopath on the Australian Faux “News” channel network who insist on worshiping their homicidal murderous domestic terrorists as Patriots and heroes, Is to systematically (and non-violently) de-construct the hierarchical power infrastructure of the Theocracies which govern these Religions, in Vatican City in Rome, Italy, in Mecca in Saudi Arabia, and in Jerusalem in Israel.
They must be left with nothing left to commit their faith to, nothing left to follow, and nothing left remaining to believe in accept but in them.
Then, and only them, will our world be made a truly safe place for people and their families to live, thrive and prosper.

The Bible does not say there were three Magi. Only Magi. When they reached Jesus he was not any "babe in swaddling clothes". He was much older and walking.
The majority of the Christmas Nativity scene is a fabrication.
When the churches were told this by Jehovah's Witnesses they decided to stick to their annual lie-fest.
Jesus said his true followers would shine brightly to the world, then the End would come.
The End is Extra Near.

PRIOR to the outbreak of world war in 1914 there was a widespread sense of great peace especially in the United States. Such a feeling of great peace is to come again, immediately PRIOR to the outbreak of Armageddon.
See 1 Thessalonians 5 v 3 where it tells us exactly that => people will be proclaiming Peace and Safety!, then sudden destruction will come again to this world.
In 1914 Satan was in his own war against Jesus in heaven, his evilness gone from earth giving us a brief insight into what Peace on Earth is going to mean. But following Satan's loss according to Revelation Ch. 12 he was ousted down to earth and war began in great earnest.
PLUS since Satan was 100% privy to the kingdom structure he set about installing his own "apostles" to run his earthly kingdom. He's doing a fantastic job Brownie.
Of course realistically we all know the college graduate morons running this planet into the ground trying to prevent you all from proclaiming Peace and Security will keep destroying Japan, and the Gulf of Mexico, and whatever else of yours they wish to destroy to prevent the Bible from ever coming true. So as it says in the Old Testament folks => your ass is grass (KJV).
You are all in between the worst rock & the worst hard place ever to exist in human history. Your only Hope is Jesus.

Deism is often mistaken for Unitarian Universalism, as its worldview is strikingly similar (which is why I myself have been attending at an Unitarian Universalist congregation, with my older brother and his girlfriend on a predictably consistent regular basis since I have been living here in Portland. The only real difference between the two of them is in that Deism, (an Enlightenment-Western-European philosophy with its roots and origins in the pagan beginnings of science [now known as astrology and alchemy, and presently regarded as "pseudo-sciences"] from the Polytheistic Olympian Pantheon of the Ancient Greco-Roman Civilizations of the Ancient world), has its very own unique origin and creation belief system, incorporating the principles of both Darwinian Decent with Modification via Natural Selection as well as Linnaean Cladistic symplesiomorphic and synapomorphic [monophyletic, paraphyletic, and polyphyletic] homologous Phylogenetic Taxonomy.
Amongst the most famous Deists of all time, in addition to Thomas Jefferson, was himself a Naturalist, ecologist, zoologist, and biologist; was Mid-17th and Early-18th Century English physicist, mathematician, astronomer Sir Isaac Newton, who was also an infamous and notorious Alchemist and a well-read Theological scholar. Newton was also the founder of the scientific field of study know as “Physics”, and the inventor of the mathematical system we call “Calculus”. Since the practitioners of Astrology and Alchemy in the Ancient world were known as “Magi” [the root word of the terms "Magic" and "Magician"], what the Nativity Story in the New Testament of the Christian Bible refers to “Wise Men” (often mistakenly called “kings”, as in the song->); Sir Isaac Newton has often been referred to as “The Last Sorcerer”.
([->"We Three Kings of Orient Are.":
a. Nowhere in any scripture does it say that there were three of them.
b. They were not kings. They were astrologers.
c. They were not from the "Orient" [Southeast Asia and China], they came either from the University at Baghdad in Mesopotamia, or from the Library at Alexandria in Egypt.]).
Throughout the Late 14th to Late-18th Centuries, the Catholic Church burned millions of people alive, for the most part tens of thousands of young women [See: Catholic Church Inquisitor Heinrich Kramer's Malleus Maleficarum (Latin for "Hammer of the Wicked"; 1484], who were suspected of the practice of Alchemy, or as the Vatican called it “Witchcraft”.
This is also why the Luciferian Illuminati Society Organization calling themselves the “Freemasons”, and including among their ranks the first Six Presidents of the United States, were so fervently and maliciously hunted and persecuted by the Catholic Church (each of the Six Presidents was also a strong believer in Deism). George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, and John Quincy Adams were are Freemasons, and they were all Deists.
The penalty for the authors of the Founding Documents of our Nation, had they been captured by the British Empire, was hanging, beheading, disembowelment, followed by the burning of internal entrails (intestines and organs), and finally burning at the stake. And King George III wasn’t even a Catholic! He, like all of the British Kings and Queens before and after him since King Henry VIII in 1534, was a devotee of the Anglican Church of England.

This I believe:
I believe that everyone has a right to believe what they like. We are all qualified to ponder life’s mysteries
You know what you believe by what you do. I believe that I exist.
I believe, but cannot prove, that we really can’t truly know anything at all, certainly not beyond our own selves. It is our differences that deserve respect. True tolerance is the foundation of liberty.
Presume decency. I believe, but cannot prove, that my place on this Earth is to work to understand those around me. Every person you meet deserves to be acknowledged; and to be shown respect.
Being present isn’t easy. I believe, but cannot prove, that what we call the idea of “I” is an imperfect grasp of a hall of mirrors; and that, when the body dies, so does any concept of “I”. I believe, but cannot prove, that everything is always more than the sum of its parts.
I believe, but cannot prove, that the answer to the question “Why is there something rather than nothing?” will never be answerable.
I believe that those who say ‘I believe in God’ etc. have clearly nothing original to say in answer to the question.
I believe that the existence of God and evolution are not mutually exclusive. You don’t need faith or hope to believe in evolution; it just is: We are evolution.
However, I also believe that science will be unable to prove or disprove the existence of God. Belief in god should be a path free of fear and intimidation.
Embrace the risks and joys of life. Courage comes with Practice: Courage must be developed by facing fears. It’s ok to need help: our vulnerability is our strength. To be a giver, you must know how to receive
We all deserve do-over’s in life: The choice to do it over again. True healing comes from forgiveness. Find redemption through acceptance.
Never being complacent is an act of compassion. By mending things, we make them stronger.
People have the ability to adapt to and find joy in difficult circumstances; and the possibilities of life. Attempt to achieve the extraordinary feats in your own life; which people tell you are impossibleMy Affirmation

Jesus is dead
Jesus is as dead today as he was on the December morning in 36 CE when he was executed
Jesus has been dead for two millennia, and , failing some bizarre form of living dead zombie invasion rising from their graves, will hopefully remain dead for the even remotely foreseeable future,
Jeshua has been dead for 1,974 years now and counting.According to the New Testament, Jeshua is said to allegedly told his 13 disciples that he would “be with them even unto the ending of the Aeon.”
(In the King James Bible version, the word is mistranslated to say the “end of the world”)
The word Aeon means “Age”
So Jeshua was correct, in that the symbol of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the so-called “Jesus Fish” was, indeed, with us right up until the ending of the Age of Pisces.
The Astrological Age of Pisces, the fish, symbol of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, came to an end with the turning of the Twentieth Century
The Astrological Age of Aquarius began in the year 2001 CE, or around about approximately a decade or so ago, heralded by the figure of a man bearing a container of water.If Jeshua was ever to come back to us, don’t you think it would have been reasonable to expect that it would have been at the time that he said that he would?
that is, “at the end of the Age”
which was the ending of the 19th Century, well over a hundred years ago. - 1 year ago

-Jean-Jacques RousseauAn educated person is less likely to commit violent crime, less likely to abuse their kids and SO’s, less likely to do drugs and alcohol to excess.

A Christian Cowboys guide to life :-)
Faith ain’t about what you think God CAN do….but what you know He WILL do.
If your work is ever finished, one thing’s for sure–you’re not a cowboy, or a Christian.
Jesus comin’ back on a white horse is proof enough for me that there are horses in heaven.
God and coffee seem to take forever, but before you know it, they’re there to give you what you need just when you needed it most.
Riding well doesn’t matter to God, but willing to ride does.
If your love of God doesn’t take you to church, then it probably won’t take you to heaven either.
The Word of God is the receiver hitch that teaches us to watch where we’re goin’.
It takes a hard lesson to teach a hard head.
Build a big loop, tuck it under your arm, and when your day tries to run off, swing big, swing hard and swing like you can’t miss.

Religion has been used to control and divide humanity by the ruling powers for centuries and it has been the cause of wars, hatred and murder of the cruelist kind. Jesus said to love not kill each other, yet how much blood has been shed by a deluded and misled humanity in the name of god? There is not your god or my god, there is only one creator, one god and one truth. As Ghandi said: there is no religion higher than truth.

Depends "THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WITHIN", Rabbi Yeshua of Nazareth
If I want to know the angle and bending of a single ray of Sunlight I would refer to Einstein.
A little boy asks Albert, "Sir are you the man they say knows everything, Albert replies, "No I don´t know everything, I just Know where to look it up."
The Socratic adventure starts with "KNOW THY SELF"
And then you move on and see yourself in others.
Combination of Yourself and tapping into the collective consciousness,
I will say that "The landscape behind your eyes is greater than what you can see".
You were born not knowing, ignorant, therefore your automatic purpose in life is to KNOW, everything you can.
If your a G-d man, G-d never wanted to hide anything from you, total transparency!
