Some evidence to show theism is a mental disorder.

Jay the youth minister is closed minded. Please don't think that we're insulting Jay when we say that. He's actually proud of the fact that he's closed minded, and this is because he suffers from a grandiose type delusional disorder, known as Christianity.

"The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality." - George Bernard Shaw

what a silly caller, Science is ongoing and ever changing. To believe in science requires an open mind to continually changing information as it is examined and tested by peers in the field. Using the Bible however is a circular self perpetuation argument. How sad to be so closed minded.

[pedazodeboludo]

Reasoning someone out of theism only works with people that have doubts (the truly open-minded ones). Before the spark of curiosity ignites in a person, all your reason just hits a wall.

People that are 100% happy and satisfied by their religion are not likely to ignite the spark of curiosity. You need a minimum amount of doubt and skepticism first, and more importantly, you need the honesty to recognize it.

A mental disorder MUST:

*Be a clinically significant behavioral/psychological pattern.

*Be associated with distress or disability.

*Not be culturally sanctioned.

*Be considered to reflect improper functioning.

This is in the DSM-IV (as paraphrased).

I came into this mid-video apparently, but from what I've seen you clearly ignore the core concept of a mental disorder. I acknowledge that this concept has many flaws, but this is exactly what you're working with.
