Atheism is a Sickness...

[Hydra009]

And therein lies the 'slippery slope'. I've seen quite a few here and elsewhere declare religion to be a mental illness as well,

Which one involves hearing voices in an empty room?

Well ya know.. Pointing fingers often gets them pointed back.  Neither is a mental illness. Most people have problems with their mortality... even most atheists.

he is emphasis the word ''zoo''.

and the topic is about ''a nigerian man''

right?

It's you drawing the connection there.   Nobody else.

To me, I thought it was akin to "lunatics running the asylum", and I can see why hrdlr110 avoided that turn of phrase.

Such a good topic to get so derailed so fast.

THIS!

Actually, it's about someone who is an atheist and being treated as if they have some sort of disease. The fact they are a Nigerian black man is irrelevant.

We are all animals, so get over it.  Solitary

Such a great way to get the pious to stop being pious, tell them they're all mentally sick in the head.. Crazy fuckers! Nothing says please don't be so crazy like calling them crazy. This street goes both ways which is clearly demonstrated in the OP.

When they first wrote the DSM there was serious pressure to exempt "being religious" from "delusional behaviours". And this started before they even considered that section.
