It's different. Nobody will prescribe anti-psychotic medication to a religious person. It's just not the same thing. Speaking as someone who has a family member with mental illness, you know it when you see it, it's just a different thing. When someone who's never in his life had religious inclinations, suddenly starts doing weird rituals, not sleeping, and claiming to be the messiah and behaving differently then before,... well, it's just, has nothing to do with being a religious person.
- RaceWon 7y ago> It's different. Nobody will prescribe anti-psychotic medication to a religious person I feel you are missing the point(s) I made. I am not referring to someone with a Messiah complex; and I dated someone who was suicidal (for almost a year) and interacted with some people in her therapy group--schizophrenics, people with mania and so on. So I'm not a "virgin". I just wanted to point out the blatant hipocrosy that some, not all, of the experts in this arena. I think my points do stand on their own merit--despite the fact that I'm low on sleep due to a 16 hour work related grind yesterday, and I could have been a bit more precise with my original post.
- dsego 7y agoI didn't just mean the messiah complex, it's someone experiencing a distorted reality and no amount of evidence will sway their delusional ideas. It's very noticeable. I don't really understand where the hypocrisy is and what your actual point was. I don't think anyone considers religious extremists completely sane.
