Religious paranoia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_paranoia#p-search]
Religious paranoia is an irrational fear of being purposefully attacked by an outside agent(s) in or through some religious context. Some examples:

  1. The fear of one's soul being stolen
  2. The fear of being tempted by demons
  3. The fear of being plotted against by cultists
  4. The fear of God or Satan


It is a condition which has been compared to extremism and intolerance.[1] It has been cited as a possible contributor to political violence.[2][3] It is often related to splitting, psychological projection, a desire to maintain a sense of purity in situations of real or perceived persecution, and rigid and unchallengeable attitudes.[4]
In an alternate form of religious paranoia of a psychiatric nature, the patient can suffer from a permanent delusion of a primarily religious nature. He could, for example, believe that he is the messenger of God who has been sent to the world to propagate some religion.[/size]

I'm a patient... On the bright note, it's not the worst stuff out there.

PP, if you're a patient, I'd think you'd be the first in line to give up the fantasy. Or at least work on eradication. 

Why do you think you can't let go?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Thought this was going to be about lead, gold and average Americans. Once again I fall victim to false advertising.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Truthfully, I would have said that if you're religious and NOT paranoid, then you're doing it wrong Dunno

The guilt and fear aspect of religion is also the business end.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

By a patient I meant that I have slight paranoia(as it's classified by doctors) about God. If alien fans better themselves to meet UFO's someday - that's cool. And that's why I think it would be good if they got paid, I don't mind that.

I can start a thread on osmium.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
