We are warning you. Your minds can't handle what comes next.
Is it just more of what came previously? Our minds seem to have handled all that just fine.
We don't need your useless commentary. Enough blood has been spilt already. You might not feel it now, but you will. You people seem to think you can talk whenever or whatever you want.
(Psychiatric interview of a so-called "paranoid schizophrenic" Video)
Already by the middle of 20th century we start to see the turn toward treating religion and belief in the afterlife as a psychiatric disorder. Apparently not willing to participate as a wage-earning slave under capitalism is something that needs to be "cured." Psychiatry again shows its commitment to the forces of repression and death, its utter hubris in pretending to answer questions it has no understanding of, and a total empiricism in its concepts. Its sole task is to adjust the unhappy individual to their sick exploitative society.
All this questioning going on by some sort of "doctor"; it is as if she was on trial and has to come clean and be exposed of her tricks.
What, are you British or something? Since when do Canucks say 'spilt'?

You people seem to think you can talk whenever or whatever you want.
So what are your hobbies, Soup? You know, besides threatening atheists on the internet with violent death and eternal damnation...

There would probably some agreement from members of the forum on those points; people who are being harmed by living in a capitalist society don't need therapy, the society that is harming them needs to change.
Defender of the victims of the system. Protector of religious freedoms. The destructor of the cause of atheism
The second and third are incompatible with one another, Soup. One does not have religious freedom if one is not free to not practice religion.
But anyways, when I asked you about hobbies, I was thinking more along the lines of things like playing the flute, or collecting stamps, building ships in bottles, nude rollerblading... you know, hobbies...

Severe forms of mental illness cause a great amount of suffering and distress, predominantly for the individual concerned. Isn't trying to minimalise and where possible alleviate suffering the decent, humane, responsibke thing to do?
Having said that, I agree that society could and should be more considerate and accepting of people who don't fit whatever idea of 'normal' is prevalent at the time - notwithstanding the sociopathy of politicians of course!
