Here are two questions for religious people.

Do you think its possible for humans to make mistakes and have
misunderstandings about their deity? Even long running ones?

Do you think its possible for humans to become deluded if they become
too zealous about their religious faith?


We have proof that extends throughout history that it is possible because it
has happened innumerable times.

In fact more people around the world become deluded or insane from zealous
religious faith than from politics or even drugs.


Let's look at the statistics for religious insanity.
Harold Camping - crackpot.  Jim Jones - crackpot.  David Koresh - crackpot.
Kent Hovind - crackpot.  Fred Phelps - crackpot.
Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, Jimmy Bakker and all television evangelists who
preach fear and submission to an ancient middle eastern wrathful god figure
while also holding their hand out for money - crackpots.

What do all these people have in common?
They all zealously study the Christian Bible every day.
But what about Muslim crackpots?
Same. They all zealously study the Islamic Koran.  Same goes
for every religious screwball around the world.
There's an unmistakable pattern here.


Reading the Bible or any holy book too much and too seriously leads to
delusion and eventually insanity.
