Not a good answer.

There is another sub-forum entitled Politics & Other Controversies. It is sort of the wild, wild west on this overall forum.

What is P&OC material anyway? I need to know so as to avoid breaking the rules in future.
Stuff that belongs in the Politics & Other Controversies forum.

Some of us tend to think of it more as the sewer of City-Data. I guess to others it is the secret to happiness. We're all different.

By the way, Current Events is a separate forum, and if you try to post conspiracy theories and political nonsense there, it will be deleted, same as here.

It was attempt at irony which apparently misfired. I have no intention of doing any of the things you have alluded to, no worries.

To answer your question, the title of the thread is “Spirituality is Mental Health.” Since John Hinckley, Jr. was quite clearly mentally ill (and, as far as I know, his Taxi Driver-fueled obsessions were secular in nature), I’m asking if you or anyone else believe that religion and spiritual practices would have prevented the violent culmination of his deranged thought process (if not the process itself).

You like banter? I'll give you some banter.

How do you know Hinckley was mentally ill? What is mental illness anyway? Someone who does or say something you don't like? Imagine being put in a mental ward with a psycho in charge of the facility. Isn't this the world we are living in? Am I raising a conspiracy theory and political controversy here also?

What the hell. Let's watch another movie clip. I am the Jack Nicholson character. Guess who is the other character?

I smiled at the Hinckley hot take. A bit cliched, and 40+ years too late to make for a good SNL sketch, but it fits in well with your character portrayal du jour. Just don’t tell me planet Earth is a simulation. Not much comic potential there.

And I’m not in a position to watch YouTube clips right now, but if you’re saying I’m Nurse Ratched, I will fall to the floor with laughter—not because you’re even remotely right, but because it is great comic timing. The actress who portrayed her died recently, by the way.

Hinckley’s been out and about for a few years now too, I think.

I am glad you saw this before it's deleted. You missed the message by a mile. No one understood the teaching of Jesus but he taught what he had to teach anyway. Some seed sown will fall on fertile ground.

This is too sad. Too real. Let us go with maya and delusion.

Actually, I think you just confirmed that I got it spot-on.

Until next time, myuen2eleh.

I would rather watch movies. One can't stand by the bay window all day waiting for it to return.

And suicide is diagnose by science as mental illness but the Maya it invented is not.

To inhabiting the "mind of Christ" is to wear a crown of thorns on your heart when you see that guy at the street corner waving his Bible at passersby telling them to repent.
