Now for what its worth, I have ZERO problems with what ANY individual chooses to believe... (Who am I to judge) but I have always thought that ORGANISED religion is one of the biggest problems on this planet today...
However, when I see a man, claiming on INTERNATIONAL TV, to have MET JESUS IN PERSON.. At a fucking STARBUCKS?????
So, I ask GFY... Is religion a mental illness???

To him, he probably did. he wants to believe it can happen so much, he believes what he tells himself. I don't think we should treat religion as a mental illness. No sense lumping them all together. I consider myself religious, but I don't claim to see Jesus sitting across me when I have my coffee. He is everywhere.. some people just take it too literal and get too involved in their desires to monetize off it.
I also think most religious people take the human way of quantifying our creation by way of a man-written book, way too literal.
