[QUOTE="MehGuy, post: 77481822, member: 196790"] Just worried. You mentioned having mental illness, and I know how religion and mental illness can be devastating mix. I do wonder the psychological reasons people fall into such thinking. When I was a Christian while I found the hysteria over "evil" things in my household annoying, I did find it appealing in other aspects. For instance, metal music... while I still enjoy metal music as an atheist, I do have to admit the music had a more powerful punch to it when I was a Christian. When I was an atheist... I was quite saddened to this adjustment. I hear stories about pastors being busted for crazy things and I have to think that the very fact of believing something is forbidden makes it all the more appealing. That for some, this mindset sends them off the rails. For some, religion probably is just a temptress for them and that's part of the sick appeal. For others it's probably xenophobia on steroids.
