I'm just curious because I've had people here tell me I'm delusional and mentally insane for believing in God. And while I obviously disagree, I didn't feel extremely angry, offended, or like the person who said it is a heinous evil person who I "f*cking hate."
You wont understand because you have compartmentalized your belief thinking it really promotes tolerance when it doesn't. Now just like transgendered, gays and lesbians were also called a disorder, but that was scrapped by the psychological and medical community decades ago. Why? Because science adapts to changing data but even with that it still has the chains of social norms in a wider society that often slows down what they really want to say.
The more we know about the brain the more we know we are not the simplistic magical toys that religion tries to paint us out to be. Our bodies as a species and our behaviors are explained by the sciences, not old books.
The "disorder" is actually coming from society telling them they are broken, but they are not broken, just different, like being left handed is different than being right handed, like having blue eyes is different than having brown or green eyes. They suffer because of bigotry and that is the disorder.
