Thread Name: BS: Is Religion a form of Mental Illness ???
Subject: RE: BS: Is Religion a form of Mental Illness ???
Wolfgang , the question raised at the beginning was "Is it possible that Organised Religion is a form of Mental Illness".
Some have examined the other avenues related to this thread - it did not seek to examine personal religious beliefs , faith or spirituality. The two entities are quite clear .
Little Hawk is kicking the subject around with the effect promoting discussion - calm down , the element of mischieviousness in his remarks is pulling the subject around and trying to make us look at it from different angles and perceptions .
The effort ( and amount ) he puts into his writing tells us he's genuinely interested in the subject - and , just because we don't like an opinion - that's no reason to get bent out of shape.
He's enjoying the intellectual jousting - try to enjoy it also and gain something from the experience - that's what we're here for - to challenge and possibly learn from each others views and opinions .
