"your insistence to argue the arguments that religions are psychological disorders"

That is not my stance at all. Moderate, non obsessive people who happen to be religious are fine. I never said otherwise. It is generally accepted that proof denies faith, and that is why when people say they can prove their faith I say they can't. So do they, as a rule, although many will insist that I must believe it because they do.

The point was made earlier by John etc that it isn't faith per se that is the problem, and even in the article that kicked all this off that is pretty clearly stated. The title of the article is typical nondescript sensationalism, a common journalistic tactic, but if you read the article neither the author nor anyone else here has said faith itself is necessarily a bad thing. It's the blind faith and the insistence of clinging to it no matter what until it becomes an obsession, the unwilingness to consider that anything else may be true, that is the obsession. It doesn't just apply to religious faith either, and that is clearly stated in the article as well, although since the reactions to it on the forums where I have seen it posted all focus on religious faith, that represents to me an unhealthy obsession with one aspect in itself.

Yes, I believe there are things that science and rational thought cannot explain - maybe in the future they will, maybe the supernatural is just science that hasn't been explained yet, maybe like Rambo said it's just the mind playing tricks when you're half awake. Whatever, there are things that happen and have happened that I can't explain and they intrigue me, as they should any curious person with a mind to use. I don't worship them fanatically, though, and that is the difference. I have faith in the fact that I can cross the road without being run over, but I don't sing praises to the road thanking it for not killing me, or insist that it is the only road and all other roads are false. If I did, I'd expect to be checked in to the funny farm. It was the way you lumped all faith together that I disagreed with, just as I disagreed when you claimed there was only one form of evolution.

"your “Not my call” is insisting on a say-so"

Nope. If I have something to ask or say I do it, I don't hint. You were convinced your personal faiths were truisms, and I just asked why - no insistence involved. I know you can't prove it to me, therefore all you can do is say why you think it is true. Which is fine, I never asked for any more than that. I won't lose any sleep over it either way.

Sear;

Too right the drug laws are hypocritical, but over here at least it gives the navy something to do till america picks on someone who isn't landlocked ;-) As for what is bad for you, a bigger burden is put on the health service by obesity than by drugs. So let's legalise everything and have a fat tax.
