You know, some day extreme religious belief will be classified as a mental illness. I hope I live to see it.

I asked someone who said they are a psychiatrist in another thread last week why belief* in any religion outside mainstream religions are classified as magical thinking while belief* in mainstream religions is not. I don't really care what beliefs people entertain as long as they're not mentally or physically harming* anyone, I just really want to know how DSM psychiatrists reconcile that.

If the organization has enough capital to hinder the APA, it is a religion. If they don't, it is magical thinking and delusion.

So the ToS* flavor of satanism stands a chance ay becoming non-delusional.

AI autocorrect and/or network latency is really annoying
