Lol The guy only has 5 posts. He came here to make this topic, which leads me to think he's just fooling around. Exactly. So he's either a troll, or a preacher. And he's wasting his time if he's preaching to an internet forum :P

He came here to make this topic, which leads me to think he's just fooling around. If he's not, he'll have to show us arguments that make some sense, or else there's no way we can keep a debate on this. That's exactly what I was thinking. I just like, pictured some insecure bigot on Google, searching for 'Atheism.' So he comes across our nice little Atheist topics here, and I guess he just wanted to "join in," or, to be more accurate, make an idiot out of himself. On the other hand he could just be a troll. I mean, who's THIS stupid, anyway? This is like, the epitome of closed minded insecurity. It's almost impossible to take it seriously, but if he's not joking around, I'd say that's how he found us. (assuming he's not just a troublemaker)

Hi Finta646, with enough understanding and studing of the Atheism condition, it could be classed as a mental disorder, before anyother mental disoder was discovered, they had no idea what it was or if it was a medical condition. So if they put serious research into this, they could find some evidance that it is. Thankyou There is no such thing as "the Atheist Condition", as I have said before, it is a belief, not a disorder. I understand that it takes time before classifying a mental disorder, however, it wont matter how much research is put into this specific study, there would not be enough evidence to actually verify that a belief is a mental disorder. For one thing, you cannot say that not believing in God is a symptom of anything because there is nothing mentally wrong with a person who chooses not to believe in one. It would be the same as someone saying the the belief in a God, or many Gods is a mental disorder, no matter how you phrase it, a belief will only be a belief, not a condition.

Beliefs are after all, Mental Conditions. In order for you to believe something, doesn't your mind have to be in a certain condition to accept it?

Rebel X Jun 22 2009, 03:43 AM I think so. I think GodsChilds right. Acceptance of anything with your mind that doesn't change with experience is a mental condition And whether or not anything in this world is a disorder is completely relative. I'm not kidding either. I should probably say that.

Beliefs are a choice, mental illness is not. Therefore, athiesm is not a mental illness. Enough said. I'm out.

You mean to say that you have a choice to be an atheist or a theist? If that is the case, change sides tomorrow and tell me what you think about it. By definition, if either cases were a choice, I could easily switch sides tomorrow and CHOOSE to be religious. Likewise, you could do the same. So why haven't you or I done so?

Chatolicism is a mental disorder as well, and so is every religion. You're gtting too technical in here, we all know what was Godschild's objective and thats what makes it hilarious and at the same time completely stupid

Likewise, you could do the same. So why haven't you or I done so? Because that's just it: you HAVE the choice. You could switch sides tomorrow, if you wanted. Don't you hear stories all the time of people "finding god"? An event in someones life can drive that person towards faith, or away from it. That we can choose what to believe, when we want, why we want, that is what makes it so different from a mental condition, in which there is no choice. The reason that this troll has failed is because we here on DBZF are smart enough to understand that: we don't want any blunt slander against a popular belief here, that isn't meant to be a serious dicussion.

Chrome Favourite Manga Ai Kora	You could convert to a religion tomorrow if you wanted, and start following it's ideals, but I suppose belief itself isn't a highly convertable thing. As a person with little-to-no faith, perhaps I just don't understand it. Maybe treating religion like any other type of belief (political orientation, etc) is wrong for me to do.

Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	I don't think you can choose to be religious. It depends on your character and personality whether you are religious, and it depends on your upbringing and social surrounding which religion you believe. Crack Fox is right in saying certain events can turn you away or bring you into religion, but is that really your choice. You didn't choose for the event to happen, it just happened, and you can't control how it will affect you, so you're not really choosing to become religious, or move away from religion, if that is the way it has affected you.
