it's a shared mental illness that fights to protect itself, aka a cult

imagine if i told you that i listened to some old elvis records and realized that he was god himself in the flesh and that i would worship him and live my life according to his words. every night i would communicate with him telepathically. i would interpret his song "jailhouse rock" as being a sign that the apocalypse is imminent, and when the day of doom passes and nothing happens i would still hold onto my beliefs. when people would call me on my beliefs i would spout epin memes in reply. in such a case, would you consider that i had a mental illness?

yes. now let's imagine that i somehow convinced 1 billion people to believe me, and also worship elvis. would i have a mental illness then?

hint: the answer is yes

i didn't realize it was possible for people to make a fool of themselves on an anonymous cambodian basket weaving web portal, but you've proved me wrong

If it doesn't cause any degeneration in health or harm/endanger anyone, I don't see it as a problem. A bit weird, yes, but not a mental illness. I'm sure Elvisism would be a hit in isolated islands.

You realize that if you have to be this deflective that you are probably wrong right?
Why do you insist on keeping this barrier instead of listening to the points given and thinking about it?

Religion is one of the biggest causes of cognitive dissonance ever, to the point where otherwise nice and friendly people would become serial murderers if a vision of god told them too, and they can and have since self hallucination exists, but thats only for the mentally unstable anyways. The real problems come about in people always thinking that every view they have ever had is just and right and using god as an explanation of excuse as to why, even if their opinion was never discuses or mentioned anywhere in the holy book mention or even if the book itself fully condones it

>>1646373
Does that directly affect you in any way, shape, or form?

>>1646375
I know that, I was stating all of you.

>>1646378
Not necessarily but one can have concern for others well being
Its not right to let an alcoholic destroy himself, even if it would be considered invasive

Many have actually considered teaching with open minds, but then the idiots act a fool and make them look bad. I remember hearing about a Christian college that was going to be teaching about the Quran, and some parents flipped their shit and took him out.

>>1646378
>changing the argument

nice try but we were talking about whether it was a mental illness or not

and yes it does because part of the mental illness fighting to protect itself is setting up social and/or legal protections, e.g. shunning people for expressing their sexuality

Fair enough I suppose. Even though we may disagree on several points, I accept your decision.
