ah, israel. Just another justification for my thesis that religious belief should be treated the same as any other mental illness. But that's another discussion entirely...

Since when has proving something been necessary to work out whether or not it's true? i don't need to prove the existence of gravity, it's just obviously there. The burden is on the person who wants to disprove it, cos they're the ones with the wacky theory.

On that definition, believing in black holes or distant galaxies which we can't see (and hence are outside of our light cone) would count as mental illness AND religion, and that's crazy.

I'm going to stay in my little corner for the moment, and attack the social ailment question as no-one else is.
I say, "yes." But social ailment is very poorly defined. Generally, tho, I think social ailments are things like drinking, gambling, etc? Problems which individuals have which groups capitalize on. In other words, imo, anything which requires "nanny state" laws to stop.
So, on that premise, if religion is in fact a social ailment, should we (assuming we should have laws limiting things like drinking and gambling at all, which i disagree with, but thats another thread) be regulating it?
Or should we at least have a more effective manner of treating it?
I mean, alcohol and gambling can be enjoyed in a non-harmful manner, as can religion, but we've also seen them engaged in in a harmful manner as well....

Further fuel to that fire is the fact that some religious experts persist in trying to show scientific/rational basis for Gods existence, but do so in a way that shows a total misunderstanding of what constitutes scientific or rational validity.
