Is schizophrenia a curse from God?

Since I was born active I always kind of wondered…

What does ‘born active’ mean?

Schizophrenics tend to be good people for the most part IMO…why would God curse good people and let so many bad people get away with such evil ■■■■ and become millionaires

I highly doubt it… almost with up-most certainty… on top of that it’d likely be the work of the devil or some similar character depending on your ascribed mythos.

No. At least I hope that’s not the case.

I have a deep faith in God, completely aside from my delusions. I have struggled with the “whys” of my life. I think I could pass for a “good person” in many ways, certainly as a child. And yet I was abused as a child, neglected, shunned by my peers because I was always different. I was attacked by demons at 12-13, possessed, delusional, married someone who abused me… I was bitter for awhile when I was getting divorced. But I will not blame God for the deformed, ugly, sickly world this has become. Or for my place in it, or lack of place. Call me old-fashioned, or simple minded if you like, but I hold onto my faith that I am going home someday. This is but a dim reflection… I don’t need all the answers but One, because everything here is temporary, including my decaying mind. Who I am, my soul, is in here waiting. When my time comes and this body dies, I’ll be free of it all.

Muslims I think beleive it (things)is s testing…
Such as you can be tested with money,with hardships etc n cause you have it good or bad in this life doesn’t say it like that in here after.

I do not think I would be a Muslim again.not impossible.
Its not impossible I become Christian either but I’m not.

I am not a member of any religion now.
But I am spiritual n may beleive in God .

Maybe it’s a people n not God…
They can disable someone from childhood rather easily…
Group of people wanting to do so…
All in on it…,
They might have vaccinations n use calculated methods.
Surrounding n so forth.

Maybe your madness will be a blessing some day.:blush:
Maybe it is s blessing that comes with lots of goodness n not just suffering.

I do not think it is a curse from God.

No , its just down to the luck of the draw…

I am inclined to believe we chose these ailments in heaven where we came from to help each other grow and to unite elements of the natural world to the supernatural love that we trudge toward. @Hedgehog i also believe heaven has my soul. Although i have dissent views i sense God found my soul redeemed

Everybody can believe what they want. That’s the beauty of having something called “an opinion” or a “belief”. My own opinion is that I have never seen proof that would prove to my satisfaction that god exists. But just to play devil’s advocate, if there was a god, what justification would he have to curse a young person with this living hell? I don’t believe that every schizophrenic was so evil as a kid that he would deserve this disease.

I know personally, that I was not a bad kid. I could be mean sometimes but what kid isn’t? What possible reason could god have for cursing me? I choose to believe in a scientific model as a reason for becoming schizophrenic. Call it chemical, environment, heredity, or cat feces. I believe that one of those is a cause or a combination of those.

Religion is definitely a curse from mankind.

The poet, William Blake said: “Without contraries is no progression.” Suffering is a necessary evil
that everyone has but sz is among the worst types of sickness. If we didn’t know pain we could not know love; without bad there would be no good. Those who suffer innocently, especially children,
will be rewarded in Heaven or the next life and I agree that we plan our lives and know we will suffer.
Some of the strongest people I’ve ever met battle sz. We just need to perservere and be patient
until the joyous release of death. Our rewards will be so great.

Yes, we are gods higher up one day than the angels.

The God trusts us. He think that we must withstand burden which he did us.

I will. If God is omnipotent it has to be his fault.

It is not the gods’ fault. Sz people suffer horribly but they also have the cheers of other beings in the universe who love us and want us stubbornly to perservere. And the greater the suffering, I believe,
gives the greater capacity for love and kindness. The world is like a gigantic problem puzzle and we
have been working for centuries on how to solve it. Just as many of us are hardly ill now due to
the solution of better meds and more humane treatment. If nothing bad ever happened, the resulting contentment would eventually turn to sz and depression anyhow.

Moving to Unusual Beliefs as religion is often triggering for folks and locking. Just a reminder that religious and political topics belong best on other sites because of the strife they cause here.

Thx. :slight_smile:
