Evidence of the affect of incoherent beliefs?
Are there psychiatric hospitals for any other professional group, for example scientists or steel workers or mail delivery people? Why do nuns and priets need their own hospital?
Perhaps they are trying to hide the fact that a usually large percentage of nuns and priests ARE indeed truely nuts. Or perhaps forcing oneslf to hold to an unrealistic worldview increases psychiatric problems.
600/year seems high
People who think there is something they refer to as god don't ask enough questions.

There are psychiatric hospitals for military veterans.
Though the reason for them seems a bit more obvious.
Would need to see far more research done.
I dunno, maybe these priest and nuns don't trust TEH SCIENCE, and feel they need a gawdly run hosptial to properly take care of them.
I know a few nutty christians who refuse medicine.
I just think religion attracts crazy people, the more crazy the more likely they are going to want to become preists and nuns. Although it must be said this idea comes from countless hours of non thought. I don't see why anyone would want to become a priest or nun unless heaven has a special vip room for them.
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
No animal shall wear clothes.
No animal shall sleep in a bed.
No animal shall drink alcohol.
No animal shall kill any other animal.
All animals are equal.
Catholics have their own everything.
Schools, Medical Hospitals etc....
So I don't think it's surprising they have their own psychiatric hospitals
So we are now discussing time travel.
It is my assertion that all of the paradoxes that have come up in stories, while they may make for a good tale, are really only literary devices. Further, I assert that it is not possible to do things that create a problem with time travel.
For example, the classic is if you were to kill your grandfather before he married your grandmother, would you have never been born and therefore you cant have gone back in time to kill him?
The first problem with this is the assumption that prior to the modern era, nobody ever fucked before they got married. The reality of the matter is that teenagers fuck.
Now, a hundred years ago, if a chick missed her period, that meant that they had to get married. Preferably in less than nine months but if that was not possible, then polite society would retreat behind a maxim that “first children are often premature”.
The second problem being that there is more adultery going on than most people care to admit. If adultery was something that was quite rare, then the number of babies who were not the children of the nominative father would also be rare.
As it happens, we know from the public records of divorce cases that when the man alleges adultery and gets a court ordered paternity test that about 1:5 children are not fathered by the husband of the wife.
So what can we conclude from the above?
Well, let's say that you did go back and kill gramps. Whoppee!!!1!1! You killed some dude. However, if you did do that, then you could not have caused a paradox because you did the deed.
Since it is certainly possible that you did not kill the right person or f you did get the right guy, you were late for the job, then there is sufficient room for the reason why this so called paradox is not really a problem.

Have fun finding a new forum. You're not amusing anymore.

Ok this is the second time I've seen this posted. The first time I just thought that the person was being sarcastic or somethin. Now tell me is this some sort of inside-joke or what?
Does this mean you guys are finally permabanning him?
"Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, show me the steep and thorny way to heaven. Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, himself the primrose path of dalliance treads. And recks not his own rede."
Unless he gets a note from his mother excusing him from being a jerk, yes.
