Subject: RE: BS: Is Religion a form of Mental Illness ???
one aspect of the mental condition of being human is that we are ABLE to consider such questions, yet no one has to be logical, reasonable or cafeful in order to have an opinion. We can debate what is 'beautiful', or whether there ever was a 'creator' of the universe without having any particular evidence for or against. So, no ...no 'position' is a form of mental illness in itself, but maybe some answers on either side, by some people, in some circumstances, indicate mental laziness and ineptitude.

Mental illness should be reserved for other situations.
