For me I personally know what its like tobeat yourself up about feelings for the same sex. I had little self worth because I felt broken and like I was being tested by the devil constantly so I got paranoid. I felt like a bane and felt guilty about how I felt about girls so I avoided them because my biggest nightmare was that they'd find out.
It wasn't until recently that I found out my mum is bisexual as well.
Additionally my sister is a nurse in a prison and she said ALL of them have mental illness. I'm starting to believe crime is partly a symptom of mental illness.

Right on! I could understand that. My fiance says that I am bisexual because I'm attracted to a lot of women. The thought of doing things with other women intrigues me, actually Lol but I am happily in love with the man I am sharing life's journey with...but I can relate. Until I met him I'd always deny that I had these female crushes but he forced me to admit it. Smile

What I am asking of you is to voice what you feel should be included in my writing. What kind of topics should I include, what sources do you hand that I could site and utilize?

Current news and events are always a example of how religion and mental illness are very much alike. Religious scriptures have already been refuted or diminished thanks to our modern age science and understanding. And naming religious atrocities in the past even when it helps people can always use the "yeah but that was back then our times are different". But when you mention actual current events with people that live among us in our times that my friend HELPS A LOT. Because people can't say "its because they were uneducated", nor "is because they were superstitious".
There are multiple issues where religious people do crazy stuff , that you can use as an example of metal illness.
  • Pastor Robert Jeffress says:Jesus Wants A Border Fence.
  • The National Security Agency and FBI treat moderate Muslims like terrorists.
  • Bill Ayers claims native American genocide didn't happen.
  • John Nienstedt, the Catholic anti-gay archbishop claims that satan is behind gay rights.
  • The Kyle Kulinski Show attacks the Pill & promiscuous women because he claims that female sexuality should be repressed.
  • Ben Carson says that abortion is human sacrifice.
  • Rick Joyner claims that the Big Bang confirms' that God created the universe.
  • William Walters, the Grand Dragon of Ku Klux Klan-affiliated group East Coast Knights of the True Invisible Empire, told Philadelphia that the organization is "a Christian group". Because he claims that racism is a 'Religious Belief'.
  • Donald Sterling Denver radio host says: "All racists are, at the end of the day are atheists"
  • Alex Jonesof The Kyle Kulinski Show says: TV Brainwashes For Satanic Killings.
  • On Father's Day June 15, Ignite Church gave away two of the weapons as part of a marketing strategy to bring more young men into the fold.
  • Rev. Jody Hicecandidate seeking to represent Georgia's 10th U.S. House district believes that the First Amendment's guarantee of religious liberty does not apply to followers of Islam.
  • "Generations Radio," Religious Right activist Kevin Swanson saysBig Grinumbledore & 'Gobber The Belch' linked to Pedophilia, and Frozen promotes homosexuality, and Star Trek is an example of Zoophilia, Gay people responsible for hurricane Katrina, tattoos reinforces Polygamy, and Mark Twain was possessed by Satan.
  • Janet Mefferd on Friday, Randy Thomasson of Save California warned that marriage equality laws amount to slavery and totalitarianism.
  • Rick Perry Compares Gays To Alcoholics.
  • Creationist Darek Isaacs said during an online broadcast posted: evolution can't be true because it condones raping.
  • John Hagee says knowledge without God leads to Nazism.
  • On his "Pray In Jesus Name" program Gordon Klingenschmitt defends the comment made recently by E.W. Jackson that church-state separation groups like the ACLU and the Freedom From Religion Foundation are literally representatives of "demonic power."
  • A conservative activist Marjorie Holstein, who has been billed as a homeschooling expert by tea party groups, warned over the weekend that sex-ed courses were a plot to increase the number of Democratic voters by destroying marriages.

(not aimed at you two outliers, just a thought that crossed my mind)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
