Sometimes it just gets too much

I agree with you. Religion and politics are ok in moderation but when overdone are a pain.

Its just the same thing over and over again,
God this and god that
I mean I have nothing against god but it is too much
If you have problems with religion maybe a sz site is not so good.
I was obsessed with religion once but I saw the error of my ways

Another thing is that people think theyāre going settle some great debate here on the forum. As if the nature of the universe and manās place in the world will finally be resolved by mankind on the sz.com forum. Nobody is going to change anyoneās opinions. All people do is argue the same arguments around in circles, never coming to any conclusion. Itās old and boring.

I believe some of these are honesthearted and truthseeker.
These are great opinions, but only opinions.
They want to talk about religion then let them.
Itās not hurting anything really.
I find that the technology and scientific knowledge of the spirits is fascinating actually. And letās face it we all know there are other beings and they know weāre here so yeah.
One thing i donāt understand though. If they made this place then why did they make dinosaurs exactly? Are they crazy?! I myself would love to hear an explanation on that one because that makes them look entirely bonkers!
Yeah, spirits just might be a bit crazy actually.

Should be a seperate bit for religion in my opinion
Why not?
Could work.
trust this thread to turn into something that i hate
i mean iām not telling people not to talk about it, iām just saying that there is a time and a place for it and i donāt think that it is on a sz forum,
everybody comes here to talk about their problems with sz and their struggles, we all unite against schizophrenia, but God is different thing completely, it should be a separate issue in my opinion.
when this site wasnāt here and i had no way to talk about my religious problems i went to a christian forum for advice, these people are far more knowledgable than anyone on here i think, some of them know the bible inside out so i would say if you are wanting to talk about God and faith etc you really should use one of those forums, the people should empathise with you if they are any sort of christian, and try and help you out.
why donāt you go to a christian forum and ask what God says about mental illness? and things, it might be worth it.

This is a catholic page about bipolar. He talks about āfalseā belief in god. Could be worth a read for all schizophrenics with religious fantasies.

that was a good read that i was able to digest but i donāt think many with sz have the capacity to understand it.
when i was taking my old med and i had the blunted effect, i had no emotions, my thoughts were clouded, everything was clouded actually so things like humility were foreign to me, to be humble was to bow down to everything and giving everything to a higher power.
i couldnāt do that because i was being controlled by fear that was what i was essentially bowing down to i guess. but i am just guessing.
Im not able to surrender to a higher power either.
do you think this is a selective thing?
i seem to be picking things that i like and overlooking things that are not appealing but whats not appealing to me may be appealing to somebody else.
maybe this is a selfish thing on my part but i am genuinely concerned by the amount of religious posts on here, this forum is not based on faith it is based on a serious mental illness that we all have in common and support each other for, unless faith is a form of support.
its such a hard subject to get to grips with.
Idk why there shouldnāt be a separate place specifically for religion, and politicsā¦that way if someone doesnt want to read topics they just avoid that particular part of the forum. The way it is now they all get lumped into the unusual beliefs section, when in fact much of it is really not such an unusual belief because such beliefs are held by billions of people in the worldā¦
It is also wrong to classify everything religious or spiritual as delusionā¦while there can be religious delusions, there is also spiritual realityā¦so i think the topic should have its own section and not get locked all the timeā¦Just because people have some mental health issues should not make a certain topic taboo to themā¦truth is religion / spirituality has actually helped some people with SZā¦for them that is their healing and cureā¦

i donāt think @SzAdmin would entertain another topic
i would love a seperate topic for it though
idk if it would work though
I think it was actually asked for several months ago by someone, and it wasnāt made. Idk if it was because of the software involved in adding more forums or what. i know that was mentioned at one point. I remember one forum thatās now closed had a section for religion and politicsā¦even religious forums have separate sub forums for different denominations and a separate one for politicsā¦ Iāve even seen other types of forums, UFO forums, vampire forums, conspiracy forums that have separate sections for religion and politicsā¦
Religion and politics play a large part in many peoples lives so thereās really no reason they shouldnāt be includedā¦but have their own places so they donāt get mixed up with everything elseā¦

its just too much for me,
if there was a separate topic for religion then i might get some relief
and also others may get some relief from it too.
seems like there is a different religious thread every day and its making me depressed tbh.
iād like to be able to choose when i want to talk about religion instead of it being in my face all of the time.
Hyper religiosity is a direct symptom of schizophrenia and bipolar.
We cannot just ban or put limits on how many religious posts should be allowed.
I do think that adding a Spirituality/Religion section can free up a lot of the site
