I think there is a lot of grey area here. Are 9/11 conspiracy theorists and Holocaust deniers mentally ill? I think many of them are, at least in some kind of mild form. Is the Time-Cube guy? Almost certainly. Are we allowed to make fun of them? I'm not sure anymore.
I can't find the site anymore, but I remember a similar case of a guy that has a website with a lot of material dedicated to some kind of LabVIEW-Style graphical programming that will revolutionize the software industry. The other half of his website are Bible prophecies.
- kristopolous 15y agoHi, I'm the actual author of the article (it was posted by someone else ... I'm flattered). Anyway, as an atheist its really hard for me sometimes. There are certainly healthy, productive, happy members of society that have deep religious convictions. So be it. But when people think they have an active full discourse with God and God is literally conversing with them and is furthermore telling them to do things that actually yield no results (Do X and Y will happen, and then Y never does), things get difficult. Balancing the liberty of a person with what needs to be done to effectively empower them is a difficult task.
