Mother murdered son for failing to learn the Koran - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Dr. Gestapo;38297060]Well, that's an awfully big generalization but I see your point. Thing is, you're ignoring how a mental illness progresses and how much it messes up your mind. Like I said before, most people with certain mental disorders such as schizophrenia do not think they're hallucinating and think what they are experiencing is real. What you are describing would be extremely hard for a mentally ill person to do, since by the time they start hearing voices and hallucinating the mind has already deteriorated considerably. One doesn't just start hallucinating one day, there's a whole process of social withdrawal, instability and (generally) depression before the actual symptoms become apparent (aka the stage of the disorder in which most people are diagnosed). Basically what I'm trying to say is that by the time someone starts hearing voices and having hallucinations it just won't matter whether they are religious or not because their minds are already damaged and extremely susceptible as it is. For them, everything they experience *is* authentic. At this point they're no longer lucid and just too far gone to seek help for themselves.[/QUOTE] I would say this is a big generalization as well. There are a ton of people in the US who are thought to have schizophrenia. However, not all of these people lose lucidity for extended periods of time(days, months). In fact, the minority of these people lose lucidity for extended periods of time. Obviously if a person's condition has degenerated enough, they can't really know left from right anymore; but a person who doesn't suffer an acute case of schizophrenia should have a much higher chance of identifying that they have a problem.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;38289481]Yea, but religion empowers and justifies these beliefs. If an atheist was hearing voices from the devil, I think they would be more likely to find help since they don't believe devils exist. However, a devout muslim hearing the devil is more real since they have a predisposition to believing it in the first place.[/QUOTE] You don't seem to know how mental illnesses work, even if you're a non-believer of anything, as soon as you have a mental illness that makes you hear voices, you will believe they are real, because the mental illness also makes your brain believe it, you're not stronger or more inclined to resist it just because you're an atheist.
