Religion Is A Mental Illness
Religion should be considered a mental illness. There's people who talk to people in there heads and its a mental illness. So talking to GOD shouldn't be any different. And for people who say on here that gods real. That's my point. You think hes real just like people who talk to other "people" in there heads. People do things because "god" told them to. It can be dangerous.

If you talk to God, you've got religion.

If you think you're God, you're crazy.

No, religion is just a crutch like any other to help you through the day. Nothing more.

Disagree.

Here's why ...

If God is real then obviously people can talk to him so there's no conflict there.

If God is not real then our concept of a God stems from natural reasons (evolution) and therefore must be an advantage (the stronger trait) because there are many more religious people than non-religious.

So either way, belief in God is the more reasonable belief.

Okay .. I'm pretty much an atheist.. But to me i think your statement's a little close minded.. Though, i will admit that I've thought the same before.

Actually, talking to yourself in your head, would be a pretty good sign of being crazy.
If your talking to yourself out loud.....even worse.

I think bigotry is a much bigger concern in the world than religion, but hey that's just me.

Whether you view them to be right or wrong in essence or morality, religious beliefs aren't mental illnesses, they’re just opinions.

 it's also an opinion when someone talks to other ppl int here head. and its call scitso(spelling) or what ever. gods no different. not saying that pppl who believe god(s) are nutcases. but in some situations it CAN be dangerous. and even if it wasn't "dangerous". its still mental illness.
