Is God really real or are people simply deluded?

[abaris]

I have been an Epileptic for a very long time and for me, the very symptoms in that story mirror those of epilepsy. This is short made me quite angry. I have heard many stories in where Catholics in Africa tried to exorcise those who had Epileptic seizures up until recently.

As with everything in life, christianity has introduced a whole new level of stupid. The ancient Greeks and Romans in their majority also connected epilepsy with spirits, but they also associated it with the presence of genius and the divine. There's one notable exemption though and that's Hippocrates, who rightfully assumed that it's an ailment originating in the brain.

Leave it to Christians to bring evil into it.
