			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Name Calling or Credibility to Diagnose Mental Illness<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Delusional. Lets just take a look at what this word means&#8230;..(Psychiatry) A false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence, especially as a symptom of mental illness or (psychology) an erroneous belief that is held in the face of evidence to the contrary.</p>
<p>Now the &#8220;New Religious Atheist&#8221;, I will refer to them as the NRA, has a regular habit of calling people of faith, meaning belief in a God, delusional. Now looking at the the definition of this term I am of the understanding that it may not mean what the NRA thinks it means. If a person is truly delusional then they would be deemed mentally ill. Therefore surely they would need to be given some evidence or see someone about some anti-delusion medicine for their mental illness.</p>
<p>As I have pondered on whether or not I am suffering from mental illness I have found interesting the part of the definitions that say &#8220;an erroneous belief that is held in the face of evidence to the contrary&#8221; and also &#8220;invalidating evidence&#8221;.<br />
You, the NRA, have over and over called me and my fellow mentally ill believers delusional. As the sane person you claim you are, you are making it a point to diagnose my illness, hence I feel it is your responsibility to help me or to stop pretending to have a degree on your wall giving you the credibility to substantiate your claim.</p>
<p>Please try and help me by providing invalidating evidence or evidence to the contrary of my belief in God. I&#8217;m sure you will not waste time giving me any anecdotal evidence or use the Bible because you yourself have deemed it bogus evidence.<br />
Of course if you do not have any evidence that there is no God please feel at liberty to help me by giving me some drugs to help stop the delusions. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
