All of this is true, the fact is that the Christian is ultimately motivated by pure
self-interest only, and that the symptoms of chronic egocentricity is clearly
observable in all Christians - as that is what truly defines them as such. In short,
Christianity is a recipe for mental illness and disaster for society, and this fact
alone should be great enough to warrant our concern both individually and as a
society.

Knowing what you do now about this, do you wonder anymore at what
causes crimes? Are you still mystified at this mysterious unseen 'force'?
It is egocentricity. More commonly known as or called 'selfishness'.

In recent years, we hear how the religious believers (i.e. Christians, etc.)
are less stressed and may live longer than their counterparts who do not
share this mental malady. The studies had observed the outward signs -
that may well be true. The studies too, may have been conducted BY those
who are likewise egocentric (though perhaps not yet outwardly religious).

Having said this, and also having said that believing in the Christian
religion (we should in fact say ANY religion) for the fact that belief in
that which cannot be proved true is in truth 'superstition'. It also opens
up the door that allows persons to be deceived into believing even the
most outlandish things as if they were true. And this is something that we
use now to determine whether or not persons have mental problems so we
should be able to recognize that the belief in Christianity as if it were true, to
be a definable mental illness so that it can be treated. The fact is that believing
in anything that is contrary to observable reality is detrimental to the rest
of society; it produces mentally ill persons and those who are mentally
handicapped, it is not hard to understand then why they (the religious) are less
stressed on average than those persons that must "put up with them". They
are a burden to those who are NOT religious!

The minds of those persons are no longer concerned with the "here and
now", but rather with their imaginary afterlife and in feeding their egos.
This is what they are reduced to. For such a large percentage of persons out
of the whole of society to not pull their full weight and not to be fully
responsible as others are, puts more pressure and stress upon the rest. And
this, appears to be what these studies are REALLY showing - whether they
realize it or not. It is now apparent that we need NEW studies that take into
consideration those things that are pointed out here.

Religion and irrational belief are not isolated illnesses, there are many
who share in the illness and who try to convince each other that they are
not only 'ok', but that they are 'right' (righteous), etc. In short, there is a
great "support system" in place that enables them to remain as they are.
As a result, there are many perpetual "enablers" that exist to keep them
going no matter what. That is why our real hope is in future generations
who will have the knowledge that will allow them to escape this trap.

So, regarding those studies that show religion and/or 'faith' to be 'good'
for persons, we know the truth of the matter. We may see those poor
mentally ill persons who have thrown off their responsibilities towards
the betterment of society and have in reality and in effect resigned
themselves from society as a whole, may indeed be healthier physically
and less stressed. But we can also now clearly see and understand just
why this is. They have, instead of doing their part in the here and now,
resigned from the duty and responsibility that each person should have
when coming into this world; and have instead created their own
reality - in which they live comfortably with support from confederates,
but nonetheless with a greatly reduced mental capacity and within a
delusional state. Again, our main concern should be for the whole of
society and the future of humanity. With all of this being said, we need
to have studies that give us supporting evidence for these truths and then
to take the necessary steps to make sure that those things that are the
source and cause of human miseries are addressed and properly alleviated
so that future generations will not suffer the same fate. And so that these
lessons will be well learned so that measures may be taken and put in place
that will insure that future society will NEVER suffer a "religious relapse".

In reality, the ego has its own natural function. When the ego is in its
proper natural state it works in a number of ways to benefit both the
individual and the whole of society in the same ways that we had stated
earlier in which all species strive for the betterment of that species. When
a person is aware of their ego, they may 'control' it - rather than letting IT
control THEM. This is a must for each individual to understand within a
society that has truly progressed to that next level. Another benefit of being
in control of one's own ego is that the closer one gets to the ego being in
its natural state, the less the person is likely to act upon "suggestion". And
this means much more than one may think it does on the surface. Why?
Because it is here that we will finally understand the truth about "crime".

Now, let's discuss what crime and 'evil' really are. When people believe that
they are in danger, whether those things are real or imaginary, for purposes of
self-preservation, they will subconsciously "auto-self-hypnotize" themselves.
In doing so, they will then do things that they ordinarily would not have done
otherwise.

All persons who are born normally are born with the ability to do this. This is a
part of what helps us to do good and positive things. The only way for us as
a whole to control this is through knowing about it and educating everyone
to it. So we MUST be forgiving to all of those who have done wrong, as in
truth, this is NOT their true nature. Punishing, hurting or killing these persons
only reinforces the hypnotic effect and makes them and others "believe" that
they are "evil" - and that only perpetuates the cycle.
