belief in invisible people telling you what to do????

any other context and you'd be straight in the padded cell
Since when was faith anything to do with belief in "invisible people"?:confused:

You say 'imaginary friend' in such a matter of fact way. No one has conclusive evidence to state that God doesn't exist. It was this patient's belief that having the treatment was wrong just as it was the anti-animal cruelty patients. Whether they are martyring themselves for a cause or not they still would have been unhappy if forced to live. What's the point in wasting medical money and stores if these people strongly do not want them, and how can we dictate what they should do with their own lives. This man would have been examined for mental illness as patients are only allowed to refuse treatment if sound of mind.


Ok, what if it was Thor telling him what to do?

Alot of things are unexplainable in life. Why is your mind so narrow minded so closed that you cannot grasp this fact ? science cannot and does not explain everything ! open your eyes a little more then you current life.
Aye, might need to section those mentally ill people who believe in this invisible thing called "air" also.

First of all, a mental illness has to amass from an internal source - that is within the body or brain. Religion, or faith, tends to derive from external sources (you could use religious texts, such as the Bible, as examples of external sources). And as a result, religion is not classified as an internal source.

Do you have proof that Thor didn't exist? Um, no. Same point. And seeing as he was a Christian I highly doubt it would be.
It's worth point out OP, that just because not everybody believes (or doesn't believe in this case) in the same things as you doesn't mean they're mentally ill.

How do you explain then how the Quran & Bible years ago go into massive detail about the earth, water cycle, blood, orbitals, etc ? These scriptures are what science stems from !
So this is nothing legal at all, just OP's attempt to display bigotry? I'm disappointed.

We can register air with other senses. You're being a bit facetious :smile:

But only a bit.

He's being ironic. Oh, you can't see irony, I must be mentally ill.

I hate a priori philosophy.
