I don't neccessarily think you are schizophrenic or psychotic, which refers to a specific cluster of symptoms outlined in the DSM-IV, I don't have enough info to make a diagnosis. A person can have false beliefs without being overtly delusional. Take white supremecists or folks who believe in new age medicine. This is the difference between mental illness and incorrect superstitious belief. I think you are correctly skeptical of other religions but like many theists you appear to have a blind spot for your own. Take that same skepticism and apply it to your own beliefs and it will yield similar results.

Ok. A couple things. First, just about everyone here has said I'm schizo, with little cause.

Only a trained mental health professional can make that diagnosis. If you are experiencing symptoms of a disorder I suggest seeking help but that doesn't neccessarily sound like the case. I don't know because I don't have all the info.

Second, I HAVE applied skepticism to my religion--and I became an atheist. It was by continuing to seek greater Truth that led me to Buddhism. After I was Buddhist, God called me back to Him through coincidences and forced...well,more like invited--me to abandon my belief that there is no Greater Being. There was simply to much meaning in what was happening, be it the coincidences or the time constantly being the same or changing the second I got into the room. In all honesty, it would have required greater faith for me to remain atheist.

Question: When you were an "atheist" did you believe that god did not exist or did you believe that god existed and wasn't fit to be worshipped or wasn't good or something of the like?

You sound like you were a "foot in the door" atheist. As in, you still had one foot in the door of Christianity. Many atheists who reconvert are never really "atheists" in the sense that they lack belief in gods.

As atheists we have every religion making the exact same claims to personal experience proving not only god's existence but the validity of their particular flavor of religion. You don't believe that Islam or Hinduism are true, so therefore those experiences are not compelling to you despite they sound indentical to the claims you have made for your own flavor of religion. You accept your experience as being validating of you brand of religion but reject theirs as false experiences. Now if they have had false experiences and believed just the same as you do why is it that your experience couldn't have been false the same way you believe theirs was?
