Sigh, just another extreme view filled with half truths.
And religion is a common view filled with no truths.

Sigh, just another extreme view filled with half truths.

Show me that there are absolutely no truths in religion.
Old adage, it's up to you to prove the truth, not me to prove the negative. Want me to prove that upinwaths don't exist? Religion, truth? Please tell me which religion is the true one.
There's a simple way to settle this matter, and that is to simply prove him wrong once and for all. Just tell us a religious truth, one that a person of non faith couldn't come up with. That's all there is to it.You made this statement: "And religion is a common view filled with no truths."
And I asked you to show me that there are no truths in religion. Obviously you can't or you would have by now. Enough said.

The Southern Skeptic Fairy
I would like to propose that religious beliefs be placed in the DSM as a category of 'mental' for the following reasons:
(1) Hallucinations - the person has invisible friends who (s)he insists are real, and to whom (s)he speaks daily, even though nobody can actually see or hear
these friends.
(2) Delusions - the patient believes that the invisible friends have magical powers to make them rich, cure cancer, bring about world peace, and will do so eventually if asked.
(3) Denial/Inability to learn - though the requests for world peace remain unanswered, even after hundreds of years, the patients persist with the praying behaviour, each time expecting different results.
(4) Inability to distinguish fantasy from reality - the beliefs are contingent upon ancient mythology being accepted as historical fact.
(5) Paranoia - the belief that anyone who does not share their supernatural concept of reality is "evil," "the devil," "an agent of Satan".
(6) Emotional abuse - ­ religious concepts such as sin, hell, cause feelings of guilt, shame, fear, and other types of emotional "baggage" which can scar the
psyche for life.
(7) Violence - many patients insist that others should share in their delusions, even to the extent of using violence.
7 reasons why religion is a form of mental illness
That's a bit of a hefty requirement and not entirely relevent to what was said. If people are going to come in and make grand statements then they should be expected to support them.There's a simple way to settle this matter, and that is to simply prove him wrong once and for all. Just tell us a religious truth, one that a person of non faith couldn't come up with. That's all there is to it.

So your plan is to lock up more than three-forths of the world in an asylum?

Someone sounds a little power hungry. Are you sure YOU don't hear voices?

As a pathology, it is distinct from a belief based on false or incomplete information, apperception, illusion, or other effects of perception"(2) Delusions - the patient believes that the invisible friends have magical powers to make them rich, cure cancer, bring about world peace, and will do so eventually if asked.

So am I stupid, yes or no?The plan is to educate people out of the need for religion as it tends to be stupid people that fall for it hook, line and sinker.
No, according to Bloomdido all the information that is required is that I believe in religion.Not enough info to say.
No, according to Bloomdido all the information that is required is that I believe in religion.
It seems like there have been a lot of posters lately who have been dancing around calling all us believers stupid, or some other derogatory, but do not have the balls to just come out and say it to our faces.
No. I get irritated when people constantly try and dance around something instead of just coming right out and saying it.Do you have a strong desire or need for someone to call you stupid?
