Ah religion! We've all encountered it. There is nothing like it. Some people are sold on the idea of living by the Lord to guarantee a spot to Heaven. But at what cost are your dreams of life after death worth. Are you drinking the poison they're selling or are you delusional? This is my take on religion and its affect on the mentally ill. I share my own experience and I give you an example of how delusions and religion are a recipe for disaster. Are you living to live or living to die?

Either you mumbled to yourself or you were homeless and  dirty. Boy were they wrong! I don't look sick, i don't act that way and definitely don't think that way. I am not afraid anymore. I took life punches and I am still standing. I am schizoaffective and this is my story
