Thanks for refreshing my memory, SRS.

I worked for awhile with children who were a danger to themselves or to others. Most had been traumatized early in life. They certainly were not religious!

How can you believe when you have been severely abused and traumatized as a child? What God would allow such a thing to happen to innocent children?

I think mental illness and those that suffer from dogmatic beliefs are entirely separate. If a mentally ill person finds religion comforting - fine. Lets face it, there are too many religions and too many varieties of mental illness to lump them altogether.
