Now...Upon close examination of the above definitions, it should be clear that one cannot mathematically equate "religion" with "psychosis", due to the fact that in relation to each other one acts as "cause" and the other manifests as "effect".

It could be argued that "religion CAUSES psychosis", and there is certainly room for serious consideration of such an argument. But is it true for "all" religion?

If, for argument's sake, it is true that NOT ALL religions "cause" psychosis, yet someone insists to the contrary, against the Truth; would not such one be manifesting a form of "psychosis", himself?

If there were a "religion" which stressed the study of Creation and the Laws that Govern it as a Guide for Living and as verification of the Truth of its contents, could such a religion reasonably be said to "cause" a psychosis? How could the Study of Universal Law and Truth, which is the Basis of the Universal Order, induce a mental "disorder", when the Mind is Designed to function on such Truth?

I like this. Thank you.

I would not agree that religion as a cause for psychosis is 'true' for all religion. But if you are using 'religion' in the theological or doctrinal sense, then yes, all doctrinal religions cause a psychosis.

On the other hand, religion is also defined as 'a cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.'

Such a 'religion'-such as the search of truth-would not cause a psychosis. In all truth, I believe such a pursuit would identify the cause of a psychosis, as well as understand the nature of psychosis when it is encountered. Such as the example I provided between Muslim and Jew or Christian and American and Iraqi or Cuban.

What is evident as Universal Truth is our absolutely identical set of environmental circumstances. We are spiritual beings in development. Whether or not you agree with what we are in development for, one must agree that it is development, even if in the guise of evolution from the point of view of the atheist.

We are all earthlings, all bound by the same biological rules and regulations, and thereby confined to the same beginning and ending. It could be debated to no end what fills the in between-which is why we are having this discussion in the first place-but it must be from common ground: Humanity.

It cannot be denied. Universal Truth Applies To All Humanity Equally.

I specifically try to deal only in Universal Truth, as that is my aim, my cause, my principle, and goal pursued with conscientious devotion: My 'religion'. But not a doctrinal religion. Not a statement of beliefs. It is Evidence of Actuality. What is and is not so. Whether abstract or physically observable. The pursuit of that evidence. All things are knowable. Only the mind which refuses to be objective would say it is not so.

Why I elaborate to such an extent is to ensure you understand what I mean.

I am not talking about a culture, nationality, or skin color. Not even dominant planetary life form. I mean ALL sentient life. All thinking beings in All of the Cosmos.

The reality is we are all one people. Genetically, reproductively, and biologically. We should therefore be all of one mind. All of one 'religion', that is conscientious devotion to Universal Truth. Only that Truth which applies to everyone. With or without belief.

We are, as human beings, being petty. We are children in a sand box, fighting over dirt dirt. Never understanding that we are all in the same box. It is all the same dirt. And when we finally come to our senses, we will all step out of the sandbox into the same playground.

Our universe. It can't be denied that it exists. Maybe we don't know what it is out there for, but, like I said before, that is debatable. But you can rest assured, on everything that is, was, and shall be, that it applies to all, universally and equally.

So if we stopped with the 'my religion is truer than yours' routine, we could actually begin to make some headway into discovering our true natures, rather than being fixated on appearances.

Do you understand what I mean? This is not about winning a debate against all comers, but an effort to convince them of their lack of higher comprehension. Like trying to tell a child, a two year old child, that candy isn't all that good for you. That if you eat too much you'll get sick, fat, etc....

They can't comprehend that. What it is like after you get sick. After you are fat, and you can't take all the candy back.

This is very much like that for me. Not that you are that two year old child, but to wake up one day and realize that everything that came before was child's play. How can I make you understand the clarity? The supreme peace and freedom found in understanding that there is something more for you? Something more than what you have been told? More than what you believe? Knowing what that something is?

Wouldn't you like to be free? Unfettered, unbound, unrestricted by such horrendously flawed human understanding? Not yours, but take a look around you. Just look, you have to be able to see it. All of the empty lives that surround you.

Computer, speakers, monitor, keyboard, all made in a place and by someone you have never seen nor met, nor ever thought or cared about before today. Everything is like this. EVERYTHING. Clothes, car, house, you name it. We are surrounded by the spent efforts of people's lives. We buy them everyday, and don't even realize the lives that touch us, that we care nothing for. That we think nothing about.

But people who live and feel and struggle the same way you do. That is why I do this. I can't stand the indifference we display. You shouldn't be able to see another human being and not care or be aware of them. You shouldn't be able to sleep in peace with the knowledge that others are suffering. But we do.

Maybe I've said too much. I tend to be long winded, but for some reason no one can see my passion, my pain. My incredible desire for unity. For an end to this crazy world we live in. For the beginning of Justice and the end of Unaccountability.
