      I’d say it’s a reaction to mental illness. An attempt by people to try to get a handle on something. If you look at religious people, they tend to all be a little off.

        It’s a broad range of problems they try to fill.

        Alcoholism, various mental illnesses, loneliness, and desperation get new ones in. But I think the most problematic are the ones there for life and because the whole community is there. Or for political reasons.

        Ok what’s “off” about me then? Tell me my mental illness.

        It’s pretty fucked up and bigoted to call every religious person mentally unwell.
