[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sound like a paranoid schizophrenic who happens to be the pastor of a fundamentalist church -- so he has a bullhorn.

Hopefully, he'll soon get the psychiatric help that he needs.[/quote]

Belief in witches marks someone as a paranoid schizophrenic? [/quote]

Yes.[/quote]

That’s untrue. First of all: there are people who call themselves witches. At least one on this thread. Are people who call themselves witches schizophrenic? No.

A person who believes witches exist in the world is correct.

Whether the women this man is referring to are “witches” is not proven. Could they be? Yes? Could they not be? Yes? His statement that they are does not meet any of the diagnostic criteria for his diagnosis by an anon internet poster as schizophrenia.

[/quote]

Anon internet poster is simply expressing an opinion.  Here's another:  The pastor certainly sounds crazy.

Doesn't matter if the women are proven to be witches or not. Doesn't matter if they are good witches, bad witches or not witches.  It's crazy to accuse people of anything for which you have no evidence and no right to make such an accusation.[/quote]

A diagnosis of schizophrenia has to be made by a specific type of medical professional (perhaps several working together) and meet specific diagnostic criteria.

The term “crazy” is not used anymore to describe people with mental health issues. Nobody chooses schizophrenic behavior.

This type of attitude stinks. Do better. [/quote]

DP here. Point taken.  How would you describe this behavior then?[/quote]

I would say it’s an anti-theist projecting their mental issues on everyone else. Not even psychologists or psychiatrists can diagnose a person they never met by reading a news article about them. The person diagnosing strangers is probably the same poster diagnosing historical figures with various mental illnesses. They read a list of symptoms online and then feel “qualified” to diagnose everyone! It’s really common unfortunately. [/quote]

Your post is highly disingenuous.

What those folks are saying is not a clinical diagnosis, they are saying “That’s crazy”, which is vernacular everyone, including you, has used many times.

What they are implying is that he probably is NOT clinically mentally ill, and that he does not truly believe this, and that he is a dishonest charlatan saying whatever he thinks will advance his cause.

No one is attempting a clinical mental health diagnosis.  [/quote]

Schizophrenia is diagnosis, a specific diagnosis. I’ve seen multiple biblical figures diagnosed with schizophrenia on this very forum. Calling people “crazy” is different, and also still wrong. Crazy is the equivalent of the n word in the professional mental health community. It’s a slur. Do you call people who need to use wheelchairs “cripples?” Just stop. My goodness we’ve been over this and it’s still not getting through to you and your nasty, ill-behaved, mean spirited ilk. [/quote]
