Actually, if you've ever met a person who is ill with schizophrenia, you would see that there is little difference between that illness and some of the really whacked out fundies.

God fearing is sane, paranoid schizophrenia is the label given to people that suffer from a certain type of distorted thinking that meets the criteria listed in the DSM-IV book.

They are totally unrelated. God fearing is believing in and respecting God. The other is a psychiatric disease. Anyone who knows God doesn't have a problem differentiating between the two.

GOD FEARING- you are afriad of doing wrong according to the bible, you are a good person because you are afraid of going to hell, and that is the only reasong you are a good person. PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA- is a syndrome marked by delusions and hallucinations that involve themesof persecution and grandiosity. A schizophrenic could believe they are god.
Edit: how do i have thumbs down?? I gave a text book definition of schizophrenia. sorry if the truth hurts.

Exactly!!! Now tell me, all these blessed people who God "spoke" to throughout history... how do we know they weren't schizo? Schizophrenia has been around forever. Yet this is dismissed a lot.

God-fearing is based on something real. It brings victory in life, and real tangible results in one's life, emotions, mind, and relationships.
Paranoid schizophrenia is when you see / hear things that aren't real. It usually does the opposite.

If enough people in society worship a particular god, the society doesn't consider it crazy anymore.
