Virtually all insanity, most people would agree, goes unnoticed by
the general public. However there is a form of genuine insanity which all
people witness in the course of normal living of which they are not aware
that is insanity. this form of insanity is manifested to those who take
religion, Christianity for example, seriously. Christianity in the dominant
religion of the United States and the Western world so I am using it as a
case in point. Why do I say the belief in Christianity is insanity? First of
all, those who adhere
to this religion accept the existence of a God, the existence of which
cannot be rationally demonstrated by valid Western philosophy nor by
science.

Secondly, those who accept this religion also irrationally
attribute to this God; omnipotence, and omnipresence, omnipresence. Thirdly,
those who accept this religion also irrationally believe that this God
authored the bible, which renders it “infallible, inerrant word of God”
which, therefore, makes it a prime source of authority for the teachings of
the Church.

Christians and especially the preachers steadfastly believe that
the bible is an actual, true, accurate account of those ancient times. This
position is insane because these people are incapable of what is regarded as
normal, rational judgment.

````````Christianity is totally absurd in as much as its entire purpose is
to “save souls.” What do Christians mean by “save souls”? They mean that
every person is born in the state o sin. New born babies, innocent children,
educated, ethical, law abiding adults –-‘ All have sinned and come short of
the glory of God” they say, as a result are banned from heaven and therefore
need to be “saved” This concept is based on the absurdity of taking the Adam
and Eve myth as the truth.

THE WORLD'S CREEPING INSANITY

By unknown author

INSANITY 1---mental derangement: not a technical term. 2---any form or
degree of mental derangement or unsoundness of mind---that makes a person
incapable of what is regarded as normal, rational conduct or judgment. 3
great folly; extreme senselessness.

IRRATIONAL 1 lacking the power to reason. 2 contrary to reason; senseless;
unreasonable; absurd. FANATIC n. a person whose extreme zeal, piety
etc.goes beyond that is reasonable.

Obviously, once one accepts these three beliefs on must
believe/there/is nothing this God cannot do or know and nowhere this God
cannot be. Everything that happens; things that are good and disasters
which frequently occur such as mass starvation, suffering, illness, the
cruel and violent death of innocent people and children are allowed to
happen by this god, a God who by definition is omnipotent and omniscient
and therefore could prevent these disasters. But they rationalize that
"God moves in mysterious and strange ways"

others too numerous to mention here it fits perfectly the definitions
given at the beginning of this essay. They are of great folly and shows
the lack of power to reason. In a word, they show insanity
