You are not well read.....and you have blindly accepted Christianity above all else.
There are many who believe they are God, and they are called impersonalists or Mayavadi,s. (google it)
I didn't say I didn't know people claimed to be god. I know there are people claiming to be god.
I simply said I never heard anyone say it.
Don't be foolish. My faith isn't blind.

My defintion of mental illness: [Separation from "God"]
Originally posted by karoly aczelYour definition of mental illness is spot on......because all the troubles of the mind are stemming from spiritual retardation.
Takes one to know one.😉
Seriously though, I do think you are loopy , as is everyone .

Originally posted by DasaComing from someone who rejects science, it's no wonder you could say something as ill-informed and as mean-spiritited as this about people suffering from mental illnesses. But karoly will perhaps take heart from being on the same page of make-it-up-as-you-go-along blather as you.

I find karoly and Dasa's theory about mental illness both laughable and contemptible. Are there any religious people here who also think that mental illness is caused by "separation from God" or "spiritual retardation"? I thought that this kind of ignorant unscientific quackery died out in the 18th or 19th century.

Snap!!
I mean no offence to the mentally ill and the retarded.
My definition just extends beyond the classical definitions and adds a root cause to all those other disorders. It does not dismiss mental illness as traditionally known it includes that definition as well.
Sorry if I've offended anyone.
please note that I had put god in inverted commas
Originally posted by FMFYes , I have worked with the mentally ill.

I have immense respect for people whose beliefe systems are different from mine , (as long as those belief systems dont include physical coercion of any kind), I dont know why you would infer that.
I still dont see how saying that my definition of mental illness is being separate from "God" , is so offensive?
Originally posted by Proper KnobI dont believe in that type of god, or any other that does those type things... You know the one, those christian goddy thingys.
