Religion
I’m just laughing at the nitwit above who has trouble avoiding this thread. Maybe you are right though and it is actually mental illness. My apologies to the PP if that is the case. |
PP asked the first question and never got an answer (I’ve been here all along). Stop making stuff up (lying) and answer the question: why are you here 24/7 if you hate religion? The rest of us are out shopping and hanging lights—don’t you have any family or hobbies to spend time on? |
DP. I agree with pp that making light of mental illness, in order to mock religion or anything else, is childish and pretty appalling. |
You are conflating posters. I haven’t been here all along and I DGAF who asked what first. But it’s clear the one person wants to discuss the topic of this thread. And another person wants to ask off-topic questions and ignore responses just to deflect from the actual topic. Total lack of substance. Oh, and our decorations are already up and I’m just waiting for my kid’s tennis lesson to wrap up. |
The topic of this thread is OP’s unrequited crush on some guy who now attends church more than a few times a year, and how this supposedly constitutes extremism. It’s not about hearing voices. Nobody GAF about the pp who is trying to conflate all believers with hearing voices (she singled out Christians and Paul but presumably this also applies to Moses and Mohammed) and therefore with mental illness, which she’s mocking as a nasty little side show. That pp can go fall in a vat of hot mulled cider. |
Discussing mental illness as an explanation for hearing voices is a discussion topic (but, yes, it’s off-topic from original topic). Relentlessly asking why PP is posting on this thread 24x7 is ad hominem. Voices: I think hearing voices could also be attributed to an altered state from drugs. Maybe they burned the wrong bush or ate the wrong berries. OP: The guy probably did some bad sh1t and felt guilty about it. |
Start your own thread to talk about voices. Asking a relentlessly persistent derailer why they’re relentless is totally justified. Especially when they’re nasty about mental illness, they deserve to be roasted. Lots of people get more religious when they have kids. It doesn’t have to be guilt or free daycare or whatever other reasons you guys would prefer to think. |
I’m just sharing my opinion based on people I know who turned into “religious zealots”. Not just run-of-the-mill people who go to church more often after they have kids. Usually something big happened. And they felt guilty. The ad hominem attacks were equally - if not more - derailing. |
Welp, it’s unfortunate you’re more ok with the progression from Paul—> mental illness -> let’s all laugh at people hearing voices. Some of us are sick of ranting atheists trying to derail every.single.thread. I’m not the one who came up with the formulations of “24/7/365” presence on DCUM indicating a miserable person, but I’m totally on board with it, obviously. Others have used it on other threads. Nothing else has to be worked, so maybe shame will. |
| Wow -- religion sure makes some people mean! |
If you’re referring to the person who is mocking mental illness, that’s an atheist. |
| 5 long posts from atheists to put some distance from the mental illness jibes in 3…2…1…. |
+1 Where are the posts by religious people laughing at and mocking mentally ill people? As far as I can tell it’s atheists being mean. It’s so wrong too. |
Geez. You people have no sense of humor. Must be that massive rod up your sphincter. And you’re intentionally trying to antagonize people? That doesn’t seem like it will end well…seems like you’ll just blow it up. I only popped into this thread because it kept showing up in recent topics. Here’s a thought - maybe just ignore the threads and posts you don’t like. |
| I thought our society and culture had moved on from calling mentally ill people “crazy,” and had reached a place where the stigma of mental illness had somewhat lessened. I don’t know if that’s really true after reading some of these posts. Especially the posts where it’s clear the poster is making fun of mental illness and calling it humor. |
