I want to see can you guess on this one.
IF so, please say so.
there’s nothing like christianity.
Schizophrenia.
That’s according to some psychiatrists … which accounts for a general dislike in the Christian community for the “secular” mental health profession.
Either you don’t know just admit so, why give an universal maxmim answer?
Jenheart
I do not know is this the opposite or answers the question.
To assume that you know the correct answer and I don’t is a bit … presumptious of you.
Whether or not “schizophrenia” is a “universal maxim” is, of course, irrelevant.
If "schizophrenia is the right answer, then that’s all that matters.
I mean, look at some of the descriptions of schizophrenia:* A mental illness in which the person suffers from distorted thinking, hallucinations, and a reduced ability to feel normal emotions.* one of the most complex of all mental health disorders; involves a severe, chronic, and disabling disturbance of the brain.* A group of severe mental disorders characterized by disturbances of language and communication; thought disturbances that may involve distortion of reality, misperceptions, delusions and hallucinations; mood changes and withdrawn, regressive, or bizarre behavior, lasting longer than six months.* A psychotic disorder characterized in the active phase by hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thoughts/speech, disorganized or catatonic behavior, and apathy.* is a mental illness. The main symptoms are hallucinations (hearing voices), delusions (a firm belief in something that isn’t true) and changes in outlook and personality.* … extensive withdrawal of the individual’s interest from other people and the outside world …Now look at what Christianity is:Christianity is a complex thought paradigm that is based on the delusion that Jesus died and rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven and is alive and still talks to his followers who can hear his voice and who have seen visions of him, followers who may speak in tongues and segregate in their own insular communities and who delude that if they think that Jesus rose from the dead then they too will go to Heaven after they die just like Jesus, etc. 
Clearly, the psychiatrists have somewhat of a valid point when they present Christianity as mass schizophrenia, implying, as some have, that those susceptible to this phenomenon are simply people whose genetics have yet to evolve as far as those of people who are not susceptible to this phenomenon.
I, however, disagree with the psychiatrists in their causative speculation.
There is no genetic predisposition to the mass schizophrenia of Christianity.
All it takes to be so susceptible is specific childhood experiences of emotional-physical abandonment in one’s family-of-origin that trigger an exacerbated fear of the reality of one’s mortality and long before one’s brain has sufficiently matured to handle that thought without reacting dysfunctionally.
If my mother didn’t exist, then I would be a schitzophrenic, because I still hear her voice and see visions of her a couple times a week.
Topically irrelevant, immaterially sarcastic and inappropriately flippant. 
(j/k

Ahh, so you did see that thread!
But I do consider it relevant, what I said. There’s a point hiding in there.
That’s easy, its Charity, which is also Love.
Jesus was basically someone who was tired of the oppressions which the hypocritical, arrogant priests practiced onto the common people. He was tired of the ritch oppressing the poor, also. Jesus Christ broke the laws of the old testimant, placing love and brother hood above laws. He went to purify, and the leaders saw him as a threat to their dogma.
How strange now, it has become. Still, the ritch, and the arrogance, and the hypocracy. Their one Jesus has been destroyed, defied and reviled, by the corruption which he did not want to exist, and which eventually claimed his life… then… defiled the names of the dead.
This case has always been, an incarnation of divine love, entering into the earthly plane of existence somehow, feeling so much mercy for humanity, and then, the divine being is destroyed, misunderstood, ignored, powerless to stop the system.
And a good job of hiding it does, too. 
People don’t have to be Christians to be charitable and loving.
Indeed, some of history’s notable events would indicate just the opposite is likely from Christians.
“Schizophrenia” is still the better choice of a synonym.
Hmmm.
Well, if God is Love then you must know God to know love. If love is man made then it is flawed and not worth having. You don’t have to be called a Christian to know God but if you do know God you would by default be Christ like in your heart, either practicing or painfully rebelling against what you know to be true. So I will contend that you cannot operate in love properly if you do not know God the author. Just because someone seems to do good or love does not mean they were of good intent, and intent is key.
Irrelevant.
God is not the property of Christianity.
Indeed, religions that happen to have a tenet of “God” define “God” as if God was merely a mental concept and not a person with whom to relate.
Christianity is one such religion.
As for the analagous schizophrenia, many so clinically diagnosed often say God “speaks” with them audibly and that they “hear” God’s “voice” everyday telling them this or that.
Neither is experiencing God, the Christian or the schizophrenic, which, again, substantiates the analogy.
Who cares wherefrom love came?
Love is a good thing, regardless.
I like love.
Most people do.
And they don’t really care where love “came” from to like it.
In fact, it’s pretty much impossible to have a relationship with God and be religious at the same time.
That’s because God doesn’t “deal” in fantasies, such as the fantasy of “souls” and “before/after life”.
So whatever connection the religious are making between those fantasies and “God” … is simply not God they’re connecting with, but merely a fantasy concept of “God” usually transferrably cast in a parental image.
Wrong.
One does not need to be “the savior of the Jews” to have a relationship with God.
That relationship is open to anyone, regardless of their delusions or the delusions of others about them.
And your reference to heart indicates that you don’t know what one’s heart truly is, as your reference is a mistake of heart for mind.
Wrong.
People who are not Christians are simply not painful ODD rebels.
People who do not suffer from religion and its fantasies are happily healthier than otherwise … as they lack the truly painful symptoms of schizophrenia so frequently associated with Christianity. 
Then, if what you are saying is true, Christians are not operating in love … and if “Christian” America’s murderously deadly oil-thieving invasion of Iraq is any indication, such is obviously evident, today, as it has always been.
It is difficult to “love” when one is suffering from schizophrenia.
The schizophrenic “sees” too many devils.
Wrong.
“Seems” is your operative intent in this communique, which you emphasise to, in effect, try to trick people into thinking that a cat (the love) is really a dog (hate or untrue non-Godly) love.
But the cat is a cat, even if you don’t like the fact that there isn’t any “Christianity” behind it.
The truth of the matter is that Christians don’t have a “corner” on love.
Islam. Judaism. Major religion. Oh oh, I know! Flying Spaghetti Monsterism! Those two are synonymous!
I don’t believe in synonyms.
dum dum dum… relativism strikes again.
The only thing Islam, judaism and christianity (and perhaps some other major religions) have in common is their belief in god. Jews, don’t believe in heaven or hell. They don’t even believe in “the devil” per say, like the christians. The devil in Islam is sand demons called “jinn”.
If we were to STRICTLY follow the teachings of each on one subject:
What do I do if someone insults my religion?
Islam:
If everything is meaningless, than nothing is worth fighting over.
Cultural relativism: 0
reality: infinity
Reality wins every time.
Jennyheart you are crazier then me.
False.
I don’t suffer from Christianity … or its synonym. 
So Kingdaddy, by your logic, if my intent for loving someone is merely to devote myself to another human being, as is most commonly the case within normal relationships, I’m still going to get a red hot poker up my backside.
