Franticism

The word franticism became popular in 2012 due to the overwhelming frantic state of women. It is a hyped up state of worriedness and stress that is often not necessary. The word was first used by a Dallasite who has been known to unexpectedly go into a whirlwind of over thinking and pre planning for things that are not even close to fruition.
"Candice is in a state of franticism again over nothing."

Franticshipping

A relationship pairing in the Pokemon Adventures/Special manga in the Ruby/Sapphire chapter between the Pokemon trainers Ruby and Sapphire. It is one of the extremely few pairings considered to be, or extremely close to canon as they have both confessed their love to each other, but it is unclear whether they are in a relationship.

Ruby had claimed afterwards that he did not remember the confession, but to most it had been quite obvious that he was lying. This was confirmed by the creator of Pokemon Adventures when asked about it, saying, "He's pretending."

Those who dislike this ship is either in denial or needs to take some medication because they hate Ruby and or Sapphire, which would be hard to do.
Rookie Nerd: omg I just read the Pokespe R/S chapter and lyk I think Ruby and Sapphire are in love omg wazzit called???

fanaticism

Obsessive devotion combined with thoroughly invasive attempts to convert people to whatever is being devoted to.

Devotion alone is not harmful. Teaching people about one's devotions or beliefs isn't harmful.

But people are completely out-of-line when they force people into unwilling bondage with the threat of death.

Usually, fanaticism is driven by power-hunger, corruption given by power, the strong desire to be considered right, misinterpretation of religious texts or other manifestos and documents, and/or insanity.

It's not often monetarily driven. That problem is usually called greed, an obsession with money. (Which I suppose might be a type of fanaticism.)
It is not belief, but fanaticism, that is the cause of many of the world's problems.

Some Christians either have a rather blasé attitude towards their faith, or they practise raving fanaticism which would be dangerous to the public at large if carried out in office. (Many Protestant churches are possesed by fanaticism.) These two stereotypes give Christianity a bad, bad, bad image that it's rather undeserving of, as most Christians are moderates, or are the blasé kind aforementioned.

Similarly, the Crusades and the Inquisitions were rather embarrassing fanatical events in history that have nothing to do with the message of Christ, but with the craze of power and being right.

Communism during the Cold War was sometimes fanaticism rooted in a state cult (like Stalinism), or in atheism. This fanaticism led to the deaths of many religious people, guilty of little to nothing else.

The fanaticism of the Ku Klux Klan led to the unwarranted deaths of many African Americans.

Nazi fanaticism killed Jews, communists, homosexuals, Catholics, and soldiers who could all have been doing something more useful than dying.

So, therefore, I believe strongly that it's not Christianity, Islam, Republicanism, Democratism, liberality, conservatism, Zionism, Judaism, capitalism, communism, socialism, dictatorship, or any other belief or circumstance which causes trouble. It is when these things hold too much influence over our lives and cause us to do horrible things. Or, fanaticism.

Atheist Fanaticism

Atheist fanaticism is a term used to refer to a form of atheism that takes atheism into zealot levels. Atheist fanaticism is commonly used to refer to new atheism and to refer to scientific fanaticism that's a form of fanaticism that takes science (scientism) and positivism into zealot levels and is (almost) always together with atheist fanaticism.
"Atheist fanaticism and scientific fanaticism are problematic such religious fanaticism, there are atheist zealots and scientific zealots such as there are religious zealots as well. But we must remember the problem is not atheism itself nor science itself, but take atheism and science (scientism) as an absolute truth and not as relative truths such as all truths actually are."

"That's sad to realize how several scientific dissiminators on internet are actually scientific atheist zealots and supporters of atheist fanaticism and scientific fanaticism. We must remember science is not equal to atheism and that there are areas of science that requires people to be deist and even agnostic, such as extraphysics, deistology and so many other areas as well."
