      I’d say it’s a reaction to mental illness. An attempt by people to try to get a handle on something. If you look at religious people, they tend to all be a little off.

        Ok what’s “off” about me then? Tell me my mental illness.

        It’s pretty fucked up and bigoted to call every religious person mentally unwell.

        It’s a broad range of problems they try to fill.

        Alcoholism, various mental illnesses, loneliness, and desperation get new ones in. But I think the most problematic are the ones there for life and because the whole community is there. Or for political reasons.
