A mental illness marked by:
- belief in obviously absurd tales written by unknown authors detailing the origins of the universe and life on
earth;
- a maniacal need to convince the
gullible that these stories are true, often in schools and via the media;
- demanding adherence to a select handful of the "rules" in these ancient texts, even when many of the rules are patently absurd;
- the belief that an all-knowing, all-powerful little old man in the sky shows his love for us through widespread calamities, starvation, disease and suffering, along with the possibility of eternal torment if you
don't love him back;
- belief that this all-knowing, all-powerful being will do
whatever you ask him to do (apparently no one has ever asked for an end to calamities, starvation, disease and suffering).
Sufferers
may also experience inappropriate feelings of righteousness and/or displeasure, and display strong hatred toward those who doubt the little old man in the sky has commanded them to love each other, not eat lobster,
murder gay men and not work on Saturday, er, um,
Sunday.
