Insanity

One of the most common mental illnesses in the world is actually excessive religious faith... in America, principally in Christianity: Some people invest so much of themselves into living a perfect Christian life that they are no longer able to function effectively in a society that they believe is evil. It's a standard cult mindset. However, when that cult behavior is actually excessive faith in Jesus, America tends to think differently... even positively... about that person's mental state. But whether it is faith in Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Xenu, Jim Jones, or the Hale Bopp comet, incapacitating faith is a sad thing to see, and very difficult to cure.

This video, while most people are finding it quite funny, to me is quite disturbing. It's from a television program called "Trading Spouses." A Christian woman was sent to live with (I don't have all the details) somebody who apparently was of a pagan faith. What the producers of the show apparently didn't realize was that this lady has this mental illness, and her mind simply was not able to cope with the "evil" she was confronted with.

Unfortunately, there are far too many people in America who, when faced with experiences that directly confront their over-zealous Christian faith, they become quite agitated and extremely emotional. Anyone who goes stark raving mad at having been exposed to people who do not share their religion or beliefs is... in truth... Christian or not... stark raving mad.

Anyway, if you think I'm full of shit, watch the video and see first-hand what I'm talking about.
