Is Religion A Mental Illness?

So my thread about atheism being a mental illness is LOCKED, but this one continues?

Yeah, apparently there's a difference between trolling (your thread) and being a dumbass (this thread).

Because it isn't.

Trolling? I made one post, gave my opinion and didn't flame even though everyone else flamed me.

[Teutonic Territories]

That doesn't disprove a thing. It's like how "I think therefore I am" didn't disprove solipsism.

How so? It's perfectly logical.

Without light, there can be no shadow.
Without evil to set a contrast, nothing can be good. If everyone had super strength, would anyone really be super? No. There needs to be evil to contrast good. When the Judgement Day finally arrives, everyone will be in heaven or hell. In heaven, there is no evil, and in hell, there is no good. Thus the earth will not require evil any longer.

And it couldn't be this way in the first place? You pretty much show your own position to be logically inconsistent.

I know, but it was in response to this thread. Do you actually think Atheism is a mental disease?

Your thread was locked as being a copycat of this thread, as the mod who locked your thread clearly explained.

Why in the world should this thread be locked for your bad behavior?

Religon is the most retarded illogical fucking bullshit that was every created because you can't prove their is a damn god.

Because there needed to be evil, or God could not be good. So he created the earth, and let Adam and Eve create sin. If it had been that way in the first place, man would not have the opportunity to choose good over evil.

Maybe that's what he's intending.

Sounds like a cheap excuse for God to get heel heat.

Oh...well that was stupid wasn't it?

[Unilisia]

Well some religious folks have mental illnesses. That doesn't mean they all do.

That post made no bloody sense.

Okay wait. Your God, who is supposed to be perfect wanted others to know his perfection, so he created an imperfect world with imperfect beings so that he could brag and say, "HA! I'm perfect and you aren't!" He sounds like a douche.

So we need children living in poverty, babies dying 5 minutes after birth, who live their lives surrounding by suffering and have rarely if ever seen good, to know good? Moreover, a staggering majority of evil goes unseen that people do not know of and hence cannot contrast with goodness. And a lot of people like Paris Hilton rarely ever see evil. That logic just doesn't work, mate. There are many arguments for and against a specific omnibenevolent deity(s). The contrast argument is one of the weakest ones.

Considering your explanation didn't either, I'm not surprised.

I don't know, he's the one bringing this complaint up. Me, I won't give him the excuse for this thread to be locked.

Seems awfully limiting for an all powerful being.

There are children born without skin. That is not just. If your god exists then he is a evil being.

When talking about an unfalsifiable god, there are so many possibilities you can come up with, many of which are much better than this. Like for instance if we were only shown evil in our dreams, to know evil in this way whereby evil can be observed but not afflicted upon us, and hence we still know evil and still choose good in our real lives anyway without being impacted evilly. But, no, god doesn't want that; we had to be punished. Talk about priorities, man.

He gave Adam and Eve choice. They chose wrong. What does that say about God? He likes freedom. That's pretty much it.
