Theism, a mind disorder?

The claim that Theism is a Mind Disorder is nothing more than a cleverly designed ad hominem attack, masquerading as a legitimate argument. It solves nothing at the end of the day no matter what conclusion one comes to on this topic. The existence of God cannot be ruled out simply because you assert that it's a mind disorder. Rather, the merit of theistic arguments themselves, as independent lines of reasoning is what needs to be judged in order to rule out theism, not the sanity or lack thereof of the individual holding the view. This is why your claim is nothing more than a camouflaged genetic fallacy whereby the theist himself is attacked with the intent of dissuading people from theism. Because of this, the entire basis of your argument is not intellectual honesty girded by reasons that one should disbelieve theism, but rather an emotive dogmatism that at the end of the day is nothing more than propaganda.

Theism isn't a mental disorder. You seem to have a poor grasp on the subject matter here.

Religion is a delusion by definition, pick up a dictionary and look up the definition of delusion. And if you're feeling imaginative then yes, theism acts very much like a virus does.When you liken your critical mind to your immune system then theism acts exactly like a virus.

A friend once told me"Argue with ignorance and you'll get nowhere. Argue with intelligence and you might actually settle on something." if i were ShwaNerd I wouldn't have even bothered, but learning that he's forced to go to church every sunday, he might need a let out like going on youtube and coming across a bunch of idiotic underdeveloped neanderthals.

Canada is an awesome country you uneducated dork. It's loved all over the world not like the cesspool country your from

You start off with a definition of delusion and make a big thing of it as if you scored points. Just how is believing in an imaginary being NOT a false belief? Even if one hides behind the claim that the non-existance of God can't be proven, there are many associated beliefs that are clearly false themselves. To prove the point, I don't even have to give examples. The very reason for the different Abrahamic religions and various sects is that they all accuse each other of false beliefs!!

Let's take a step back and write down what's happening here:

1.) 14 year-old makes a video where he says Christianity is true because of such and such, cannot be argued with and is the one true religeon.

2.) Angry 14 year-old argues that his belief (or lack thereof) is the true religeon, and the original 14 year-old is wrong.

3.) Older YouTuber decides to side with the original 14 year-old and posts a video response in which he attempts to act as a superior person.

What sin? You mean the sin I was "created" with? The original sin which supposedly takes place in a metaphorical story, but somehow has an effect on the real world? An all powerful God could just undo that stuff with a snap of his fingers. Your God doesn't which means he is either evil, not all powerfull, or doesn't exist. I choose the last option.

[KabaneTheChristian]

The thing is that you will be shamed before a righteous God as your sin will not be atoned for. You will hate that shame that you have to live with eternally because of God's presence and hate God himself. Always running, but never being able to escape.

I used to view heaven and hell in a similar way. Unfortunatly christians like that are the extreme minority. Why would I hate the presence of a God? If it was truly a good God, that didn't do any of the OT stuff then I'd be perfectly fine with it all. And what would be so shameful about not believing when that God pretended to not exist? A deist or psuedo Christian God I could handle. OT God on the other hand... Bleh!

[KabaneTheChristian]

I can't stand the televangelists, I think they are losers.

I view hell and heaven as states rather than places. EVERYONE rises from the dead at the end of time. And we all are in the presence of God. But unbelievers will hate that presence, because they are shamed in the presence of a Holy God.

[NotWhollySane]

Touché! Curse you atheist experience! CURSE YOU!! But yeah, that's one cable access show VS how many televangelists? Also I don't think the idea of being intellectually superior holds a candle to "you will live forever in paradise if you believe", and "you will spend forever in hell if you don't believe".
