Religion, What do you think of it? Options

[HyPN0]

I got the idea for making this thread from Polygamy thread. I think this may be an intresting topic.

What do you think about religion(s)? Do you belive in any kind of gods? Christian God? Alah? Buddha? Or you don't have a religion at all?

If you do stick to your religion, tell us why. If you don't belive that there are such things as gods, again tell us why.
I hope that there won't be any flames or immature behavior. I have good faith in Chorrol.com community that there won't be any hard words, or simply dissrespect towards other opinions.

So, let's start shall we?

So what about people who need constant support, are constantly depressed? Yeah i know such individuals too, but you can't blame them for it, most of the time. It's your choice wether or not you try to help them, but inventing a term like "psy vamp" for people with psychologycal difficulties, caused by immense stress many people have nowadays, for i don't know which reasons, is just cruel and unfair.
If they do it deliberately, that's something else, and i've also known such people, without knowing the modern term for them, and i agree that such could be dangerous or at least awkward, when you yourself have problems, are weakened by some distress or another. Actually i know of a hypochonder who was constantly moaning about his afflictions, and his wife had to go to a nuthouse, because she wasn't able to stand this.
So what is the matter with "psy vamps" and a sect/cult?

Obviously I can differentiate between people with depression. I mean, thats just one kind of symptom, but its not the be all and end all.

There is far more to consider when trying to size someone up. Its their way of approaching people in all matters of things.

I gave an example that I thought many people would be familar with. But its far more complex than someone seeking advice, because thats not necessarily definitive. Its not definitive at all.

Indeed, and thats where it takes time, and a lot of cop on to understand people. In realistic terms, the psyvamps are people who fight with psychological warfare. Thats what it is.

Some might think i'm overestimating it, and chances are they either
A) Never experienced it (yet)
Have experienced it and can't recognise it.
C) Never will (Though I think the likelihood of that being unlikely unless you live like a hermit, which I don't think is feasible either)

Well, its a form of manipulation, so if you are ok with manipulation of people, then you might say nothing.

Though if you were against it, you'd realise the lack of need to ask such a question
