UD:
> > There is an incredibly large association between psychotic mania and "religiosity". I would say that religiosity is a reliable marker for bipolar type 1 manic behavior.
> God seems to be a fun-loving sort of a guy. Therefore, he shows himself more (both quantitatively and qualitatively) in the lives of people who are having fun and feeling good, and you never feel as good as you do while manic. It is easier to be spiritual or religious when you are experiencing the presence of God.
When was the last time that UD experienced the presence of God?
When was the last time that SLS did NOT experience the presence of God?
I have seen only one other person on Psycho-Babble afford his musings the quality of being Truth, and believe that he can know anything about the Mind of God.
You are extraordinarily assumptive. It is a good look on no one.
So...SLS claims to have never had a euphoric mania.
SLS claims that he experienced hyper-religiosity as the theme of his manic psychosis.
SLS is lying.
> It would not surprise me if God actively tunes out the prayers of people who are miserable. They tend to be asking him to give them stuff or do stuff for them -- would you enjoy listening to that? Neither would God I'm afraid. It's understandable, but it is sad that he is not there for you when you need him the most.Oh. I just got the joke. You are being satirical! You really got SLS on that one! Don't I feel the fool.
Be that as it may, you are not privileged to know the Mind of God any more intimately than any of His other creations.
You are in no position to suggest to anyone, with or without depression, that their prayers go unheard by God.
Your words disgust me. I am horrified for you if you should really believe them.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
