Why is this "news" to anyone? I mean, we're talking about people who not *only* believe that there's this Big Father Figure In The Sky who runs everything, but that he's *pissed off at them* because they don't live the way he wants them to.
What an *incredibly* primitive and low-vibe belief system. If there is a God who is actually pissed off at His creations because they don't live the way he wanted them to, 1) it's His fuckin' fault for doing such a shitty job creating them, and 2) it's even more His fault for creating them and then never giving them a User's Manual for what he wanted them to do. He relied on dumbass humans to do that for Him, based on their own ignorance and prejudices. Believing in such a being just *has* to make one crazy! --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Stanley" <j_alexander_stanley@...> wrote: > > Study: Belief in an angry God associated with variety of mental illnesses > > http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/17/study-belief-in-an-angry-god-associated-with-variety-of-mental-illnesses/ > > http://tinyurl.com/d64krlk > > "People who believe in an angry, punishing God are much more likely to suffer > from a variety of mental illnesses, a scientific study published in the April > edition of Journal of Religion & Health finds. > > The study, conducted by Marymount Manhattan College Assistant Psychology > Professor Nava Silton, used data from the 2010 Baylor Religion Survey of US > Adults to examine the links between beliefs and anxiety disorders like social > dysfunction, paranoia, obsession and compulsion." >
