Is Praying To Imaginary Gods Mental Illness?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Your question is very problematic, let me try to explain why.

    Mental illness is the notion of a dysfunction within the workings of the brain, the problem is, that to define whether some sort of a nuerophenomena is a normative function or a abnormal dysfunction - a psychologist or a psychiatrist will sit with a patient and listen to him describe his weird experiences, and from his interpretation, he may write down that you have schizophrenic episode or a dissociative disorder.


    Personally, I rather look at mental illness as the idea of different mindset, between neighbors, nations, continents, cultures, thus Praying to imagined gods is nothing wrong, first of all because it's not dangerous by itself, and second - if you live in a circle society in which people believe in gods, you're not mentally ill, you're educated.

      I don't think so, do you? I think not believing in any kind of God is just having amnesia.
      Jesus:"Ye are Gods". Did you know, that any doctor that has been around for awhile will tell you, that most Atheists will cry out to God on their death-bed?

      Love it.. I can never be an atheists that is for sure... For you can never deny a thing without acknowledging its existence... So i would be agnostic if ever i wouldn't believe in GOD.. And i pity those who only call him in times of their death.. =C but i respect them though..=D very much..
