I've been under the impression for awhile now that this is like a manufactured illness created just for them to sell a 'cure'.

I wish you were right. If I had the cure for religious delusion, I could make billions. Unfortunately, there is not pill to cure people of their love for their invisible friends, whether Allah, Jehovah or Zeus. Let me know if you come across a cure. I am happy to share the profits!

[damon132]

Sorry, totally misunderstood. You are correct, from the analysis I do in my book, The God Virus, they cause the disease, then offer the cure. That is what the guilt cycle is all about.

[damon132]

Thanks for letting me know. Like Churchill said, Heaven for the climate, hell for the company.

A play list would be Awesome!

I put a playlist up. I actually had one already, it just was not activated for you to see. Hope this meets the need.

Dude, you just described my life in 6th and 7th grade...

I literally woke up every day terrified I would go to hell...

Indeed, not only is he genius...he actually CARES for other people and their well being. Meaning, he understands the mental illness religion causes.

i just ordered ur book. i was a christian all my life until about 2 years ago..they i stumbled onto atheist videos on youtube like the atheist experience and videos of richard dawkins and hitchens..then it slowly stated making me think..which i hated at that time cause i felt like i was questioning it..so i prayed for forgiveness every time i thought like that..then slowly the videos opened my mind..now looking back i cant believe how close minded i was. thanks for what u are doing

Snow is not truly white anyway,it's really clear. It only appears white cause the accumulation of the ice crystals scatters light so much that it reflects the entire light spectrum right back. So I don't think anyone can be more pure then light.

If you can't cure the virus, make your own strain and make lots of money from it. See also: L. Ron Hubbard.

Isn't the biggest problem the fact that believers are stupid? Seriously.

In other words;

- "Ye, but he shot down the plane as well" ...

[maurpine]

how excellent!

[pakratmak]

I was referring to religion convincing people they're sick and they have the cure. Neither exist apparently.

On this side of the equation what you are doing is part of the cure, for their imaginary ill and imaginary cure.

If that hypnosis is partially created by repetition, which as a laymen I agree with completely, then the bad info may have to be out-repeated by new and better info.

'Breaking the spell' for real, as it were.
