Idk I think if gone unchecked christianity is a mental illness, right up there with schizophrenia, which I thought about for awhile, talking to invisible people that no one else can hear or see (prayer), believing that if you don't do this or that a certain way (paranoia), und getting extremely agitated when logically confronted about the issues seems like all the same matter.
One is treated for with heavy medications whilst the other is okayed by society.
Funny, I wonder if a schizophrenic person's invisible friend was GAWD if he'd be schizophrenic or Christian? in which he'd no longer be ill nor need medicine
As someone who used to be a Christian, you couldn't be further from the truth. Also, nothing psychologically wrong with praying. It's really a meditative act. Plus, most Christians who pray to God don't claim that they can see or hear God.
