[QUOTE="Curious Atheist, post: 60364876, member: 291697"] Haha well maybe we need to agree what is sane first, before we can decide what is crazy. It is a difficult question really because everyone is crazy in their own ways. However, when does someone screaming that demons are trying to take over their lives and bodies, whilst angels tell them messages go too far? What is the right amount of delusion to hear voices in your head but not be a total wacko? Is there some kind of line we must be aware of like not saying candy man in the mirror three times, so if someone shouts about satan 27.6 times in an hour, lock em up? 25 is about normal in some churches, so 27.6 sounds about right? It just seems from an outside point of view, believing that a demon possessed a snake, that then convinced a woman, made from a rib of another man who was created (from clay) by God, to eat an apple is the reason that children are born with AIDs is off the scale of crazy I can usually get by with. You sound like a really nice person, so I would vouch you knew what kind of church you wanted before you became very familiar with the Bible.
