The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Kind of like Atheists continuing to pose questions to Christians thinking it will get them to renounce their faith.

We must try and save people who believe in God.
I know there are many nice people who believe in God, and they wouldn’t intentionally harm anyone. I suspect they would be just as nice if they didn’t believe in God, it’s just how their biological model works for them.
The real evil amongst us, are the vast majority of religious followers and believers who have clearly shown over time to be the major instigators of wars, violence, abuse, greed and practically everything evil on our planet.
We must stop innocent young lives, especially from birth, from being sucked into this evil religious trap. Humanity deserves at least an effort being made in this direction rather than just watching religion and the so-called do goody goody followers corrupting our world with evil.
Religious people are so cruel to their children – God is just a monster.
Nothing could possibly be more mentally damaging to children than telling them over and over again from birth there exists an invisible person (God or whatever) who is unwilling to prove he exists watching them every second of every day, reading their thoughts, and if they don't believe in this invisible person they will be tortured for eternity.
Yet we tell the same children that monsters don't exist so it's silly to be scared of monsters.
I agree with you, it's insanity to believe in God, and religion has also been proven to be a mental illness, but that's another long story.

Your question is fuzzy. Are you asking whether theists believe that to be happy can only happen by believing in God? I'd say false, atheists can lead happy lives. "Happy" isn't the end-all, though. Love for God that is so strong, so profound, and serving Him with prayer and with kindness to all of His creatures, all because you love Him so much that you do this, and you
But yes, happiness, can be found by anyone, theist or not.

False. Everyone believes that there is a higher power. But because I am a Christian, a follower of Christ Jesus that dies on the cross for my sins, I know that its not crazy to believe in Him. I know that there is nothing wrong with me believeing in Him. I'm suppose to. All I can do is pray that this will touch your heart. But I truly want you to think about where you would be without Him. NOWHERE. You wouldn't even be able to breath. Its all because of God that you even are able to ask this question. If he was to call you home right now, would you be ready to go to hell? Think about it.

False.
"Insanity" is a legal term. It means, briefly, that one is suffering from a mental disorder so great that one cannot be held responsible for one's own actions and/or cannot conduct one's own affairs. As such, a belief in god does not render one incapacitated, and this could not be used as the sole basis for having someone declared incompetent, or not guilty by reason of insanity.

What exactly do you feel the need to prove? I know many people who claim to be happy and do not know God. I also know that many people who know God are not always happy. God does not promise happiness when you come to Him. He promises you never have to walk thru this life alone, happy or sad. Coming to Christ is not a formula for happiness, in fact it is the start of working on who you are in Him, and that my friend is a lot of work. Blessings.

First of all Satan BELIEVES in God and his only happiness is those who DO NOT have a personal relationship with God. So believing in God is not the secret. I am happy and content in my heart and secure in my eternal future by the Love of God that is within my heart. And I have said it time and time again...What If Im wrong........But what if you are?

Happiness is a new puppy. Happiness comes in all phases but knowing the Lord is not one of these. So I would say very false. Knowing the Lord brings inner peace and joy. It was never guaranteed to bring happiness on man's level of happiness. That is like saying to the rich man what would make you happy, he says another billion dollars. You ask a poor man what would make you happy, he would say food on my table, a bed to sleep in and a roof over my head. So happiness comes in varying levels.

Your question doesnt really make sense. Let me just say that Accepting Christ Jesus as your Savior will not give way to a wonderful life automatically or something, we will have suffereing and trials wether we believe in God or not, but knowing that Jesus saved you from hell, knowing you have heaven to look forward to, after accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior, this will bring you happiness, and knowing the Lord does fill you with peace when doing his will.

No
Insanity is when one who does not believe in God still feels it necessary to come to the religious forum.
