New conspiracy theory!
Erik Rush is a far far right-wing columnist with an
obsession about Obama. His current mania is the notion that Obama, working with
the American Psychiatric Association, is going to designate Christianity as a
mental illness. Christians would then be deprived of their rights and thrown
into some ghastly prison/hospital, or relegated to some second-class
citizenship, like Jews in Hitler’s Germany.
The mere fact that Rush believes this is the surest
sign that he is, in fact, mentally ill. Obama is a devout Christian himself and
has no intent whatsoever to try to hijack the entire national psychiatric
community for such an end.
But what if he did?
Look at the pathology. The most severe forms of
mental illness are characterized by personalities who cling bitterly to
delusions that have no basis in reality, contrary to all the evidence.
Christians are much more likely to believe things that are provably untrue: the
creation myth in Genesis, heaven and hell, the virgin birth, the resurrection,
the ascension into heaven, the imposition of sin on newborn infants, and the
notion that a supernatural being agrees with them and intends to destroy anyone
who disagrees with them. Jesus rode a dinosaur!
“God is my special, magical, invisible friend. He can do anything, but
you can't see it. Of all the trillions of creatures in the world, he knows he,
he loves me, and that makes me better than you. When I do something bad, he
washes it away. And he will make me live forever, even after I die, although
you won't see that either. He's magic!”
And by
the same token, Christians are much more likely to listen to Fox and Limbaugh,
slack-jawed, and buy into whatever laughably obvious lies they’re peddling
every day – Obama’s Kenyan birth, his intent to impose both Islam and Communism
on America even though they’re contradictory, Obama’s concentration camps and
death squads, his intent to kill all our grandmothers, etc etc.
Christianity,
at least as practiced by today’s evangelicals, is indeed a delusion. A manic
resistance to facing reality. Perhaps in his lucid moments Rush realizes that
the right-wing whackaloons are crazy as a sack of rats.
