Religion: Just Plain Crazy

[The Valkyrie]

Ok but to be fair, that psycho would have done terrible crimes regardless of religion or not.

Of course she would.

But here's the thing: If I did something like this and claimed Elvis told me to, I'd rightfully be locked up, and Elvis fans wouldn't be wanting to interact with me on any level.  Even if before I did something like this, and said that Elvis was talking to me in my head, I'd be treated for some form of mental disorder.

If I wandered around saying that God or Lucifer were talking to me in my head, parts of the religious community would likely either call me "touched by god" or they'd demand an exorcism.  And if I killed people because one or the other told me to they'd claim it was the devil all along.

And that's part of the danger of the religious mind-set.
