Religious People...?

Question

Do you take offense of the fact that religious sightings and visions are medically considered to be a neurological symptom/problem?

Answer 1

No because I bet the majority of times they are neurological issues.

That doesnt mean a few times they arent real.

Answer 2

Delusions of grandeur can be common when someone suffers from psychosis, which is a primary symptom of diseases such as schizophrenia, and some cases of severe depression or bipolar disorder. These delusions can take the form of the afflicted person believing he/ she is communicating with god, the devil, or other beings (including, but not limited to: aliens, the FBI or CIA, the president, Al Queda, oil tycoons, celebrities, and many more).  

The vast majority of "religious people," however, have no history of psychosis or delusional thinking and do not display other psychotic symptoms. Rather, their lives function normally. In fact, studies show that those who regularly practice and internalize their faith are happier, have fewer substance addictions, LESS incidence of mental illness, are less likely to live in an abusive household, lower incidence of unwanted pregnancy, report stronger social support, and display numerous other social and personal advantages.

So... to answer your question, I take no offense at the legitimate research that has been done on people of faith. But thank you for your concern.

Answer 5

The Fatima apparitions in 1917 were obviously the result of about 50,000 people having the very same neurological disorder, across an area spanning some 100 miles.

The sun and the earth evidently suffer from the same disorders, because the residue of torrential rains was instantly dried up by an unexplained, but very noticeable "excursion" of the sun.

Furthermore, all the secular newspapers of the time reported it in detail.

Nobody was bitten, either.

Answer 6

Once I thought I saw Elvis.  Does that mean that I am all shook up uh-huh huh?

No, I take no offense at all.  One man's inspired vision is another man's hallucination.  We cannot conclude then that hallucinations are necessarily bad.  A neurological problem could merely be a different drummer.

By the way, "Neurological Problem" sounds like a great name for your new band.  Take care.
