This is about the human mind and its foibles and the scientific interest in why OCD happens in religion, I think is a valid question, you have to agree there is OCD in some religions.
This is about obsession and religion is only one of the reasons for obsessions.
You happen to know the person starting this thread believes in God, so you automatically assume everything he says (or will say) has something to do with that belief. I've noticed how obsessed atheists can be when it comes to religion, but I was more than a little amused by the immediate responses to the OP in this particular thread...

The problem you've pointed out imo has more to do with a conflict of egos honed by years of mind raking arguments. It's probably impossible at some point in the life of any message board to start a topic and expect anything other than a continuation of some previous feud.
I've seen the same pattern emerge at other sites, so given how long this site has been in existence I'm not at all surprised to see how this mindset has blossomed here... lol

As an OCD sufferer who has struggled to cope with things that other people find easy, such as simple social interaction and routine disruption, I don't see any connection with religion or lack of it. It's a medical/psychological thing. It's a pity that the Science Forum has been so infected by "junk religion" such as creationism that we can no longer seem to stay on-topic and relevant.
