Belief in ?God? As a Mental Illness ?
Soon the the world's governments will sanction what a true belief in God is. Hint! It's not going to be pretty in the end!
Now please give us your DNA sample so we can weed you stupid people out!

American Psychological Association Classifies Belief in "God" As Mental Illness

All of these are signs of a mental break and a loss of touch with reality. Religious belief and the angry God phenomenon has caused chaos, destruction, death, and wars for centuries. The time for evolving into a modern society and classifying these archaic beliefs as a mental disorder has been long overdue. This is the first of many steps to a positive direction."

The APA says Belief In God is a mental illness. You cannot possess firearms if you have a mental illness. Therefore, everyone who professes to believe in God will have their Constitutionally enumerated right to Keep and Bear Arms denied.
It is definitely a war on Christianity, and all who believe in God.

That is not what is being said.
There is no reason to make it out to be worse than what it is.
Yes it's a matter of interpretation yet kiss freedom of expression good bye. If I/you believe in miracles or visions and prophecies then your mad under science!
If your a denier of Evolution your mad too!
Take off the blinders Once again your dealing in absolutes.
Yes firearms are under attack and you can only enforce death by for The NWO now. The state is becoming the religion your just too blind.

Do you really trust our government in its present form that much? Personally, I wouldn't put anything past them no matter how unbelievable.
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.

I can't vouch for the accuracy of the article, but that is about what the article says. It may be an unintended consequence, but a consequence none the less.
The only thing I can disagree with Tech141 on is it doesn't appear to be a war on Christianity, it appears to be a war on ALL religion.
Yet many have died taking tainted blood with infusions! Now who is insane now Barzillia?
This is another step where secular powers have deemed themselves as Superior over your own bodies and your Children.

Not to be rude, or get personal, but have you ever known somebody with a significant mental illness ?
Trying to apply a protective religious label to delusions of being Jesus, or communing with satan, or the like, when such destroy a person's ability to function safely in society, is absurd.
Especially when it comes in the form of conspiracy fears.
Good grief.
I'm sure the APA has the best of intentions. Intentions are rarely codified in legislation and even more rarely considered by a court of law.
quote:The APA is not the government.
Once the legislation is signed into law, the APA becomes the de facto government.
Tell me, where did you get that quote ?
And why do you think it reliable ?
The first site that I went to which originated that OPINION also maintains that Wal Mart is soon going to sell human breast milk in all their stores, and Viagra will soon cost $500 a pill.
You guys are too easy.
In the original post there is a link to an article titled American Psychological Association Classifies Belief in "God" As Mental Illness
The link: http://www.celebtricity.com/american-psychological-association-classifies-belief-in-god-as-mental-illness/#
The quote is paragraph five from the article.
The quote is no more or less reliable than the article it came from. As I mentioned in a earlier post, I can't vouch for the accuracy of the article, but that is what the article says.
The bottom line question is simple. The American Psychological Association either did or didn't take the action alleged in the article. It should be fairly easy to find out. The article serf posted says "The American Psychological Association says more information about the study and the new classification will be made available to the public in their upcoming journal (which is expected to be release in early September)." Maybe somebody will look it up.
I love the name the World Health Organization gave their questionnaire, WHODAS 2.0.
I agree with you that this discussion is going nowhere fast so I guess we can talk later on a different subject.
Time to grow up people, you are not children anymore.

It appears to me you and serf are talking about two different things. serf's original post is about the American Psychological Association's actions and intentions. Your references are about the World Health Organization's assessment of general health conditions. The two things may or may not be loosely associated, but I don't see it.

Neither serf, nor you, have the slightest clue of the APA intents.
Nor do I.
But if you want to resort to bullcrap blogs and websites for your guidance, that is up to you.
Best of luck to you on that approach.
It is not worth spending any further time on the matter, to me.
The same can be said about you my friend! So you say The Jehovah Witnesses gave up the blood ban! What a joke! Whole blood fusions is what I was relating too!

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/08/judge-rules-jehovahs-witness-boy-blood-transfusion
A high court judge has ruled that the son of two devout Jehovah's Witnesses can be given a blood transfusion despite religious objections from his parents.

the gullibility of some of the posters in this thread absolutely astonishes me. Much like Barzillia said I can definitely see why a few posters might be concerned about what the APA has to say..
They are crossing into not a black and white area but a grey area where science will condemn religious conceptions of what good and evil is.
Like if Abortion is taking a life! Science says no! What a joke!~ I bet most here believe it too! Now who is delusional? Society as a whole is immoral! Believe it or not!

Religion has been found to enhance remission in patients with medical and psychiatric disease who have established depression.16,17 The vast majority of these studies have focused on Christianity; there is a lack of research on other religious groups. Some research indicates an increased prevalence of depression among Jews.18

"A false belief based on incorrect inference about external reality that is firmly sustained despite what almost everyone else believes and despite what constitutes incontrovertible and obvious proof or evidence to the contrary. The belief is not one ordinarily accepted by other members of the person's culture or subculture (e.g. it is not an article of religious faith). When a false belief involves a value judgment, it is regarded as a delusion only when the judgment is so extreme as to defy credibility. Delusional conviction occurs on a continuum and can sometimes be inferred from an individual's behavior. It is often difficult to distinguish between a delusion and an overvalued idea (in which case the individual has an unreasonable belief or idea but does not hold it as firmly as is the case with a delusion)" (2000, p. 765).

Posting a link proves nothing but murdering innocence life's in the womb is a sin against humanity. Just like Adolf Hitler and the slaughtering of the Jews there is no difference.Just a mad government under science justifying death without mercy.

To believe that one can control the climate is mental illness. It is the same as hiring a rain dancer.
Also- believing that God wants you to kill somebody is also insanity. Isn't it logical that if God wanted someone dead he is perfectly capable of doing so himself or else he isn't God.
