Try God...

So, GC, how would you feel if I told a Christian person suffering from mental health issues that they should consider my point of view, and perhaps that their god is non-existent?

It's your right to do so, but you will not find as many Christians with mental problems as you might think.

Especially some Christian suffering from religious delusions, like say he thought God was telling him to kill some people? Would it not be better to counsel him that there is no god and the voices he's hearing are all in his head?

No, he would need counseling that God does not work that way with today's world. He would then need to find out if he believes in the Christian God. Whatever avenue the treatment goes down it would ave to be done carefully.

But on the plus side, preying on the mentally ill and the incarcerated helps paint Christians as the scum of the earth. Just sayin'.

At least we offer help and hope instead of sarcastic remarks that only hurt and confuse those looking for help, you really think this kind of stuff is helpful to k2490, I do not.

GC, you need stop acting like you know how to treat mental health diseases. I don't walk around pretending like I can do heart surgery. This isn't a fake disease you get to play around with, you don't recommend drugs to people who are sick, right? Then why are you playing doctor here? You think we, on a forum, should "help" someone who tells us they have mental health problems? How? By being pseudodoctors? We're just here to be friendly and hopefully provide a little support. If you cannot understand that your belief does not concern someone who's mentally ill, that only their beliefs matter in the course of their treatment and recovery, then I don't think you'll understand the point here.
