Where has secularization of society lead to then??? More crime?? More unwed teenage pregnancies.. Sexual deviancy... Anything goes as long as it feels good attitude? The degradation of society.. A loss of a moral compass.. Materialism.. The breakdown of the family unit... All those are closely linked to secularization...
The secular says we are mere animals so society starts acting as such and when the bad stuff happens they have the cheek to blame God and ask where He was in that... However God is a gentleman and does not put His nose in where it is not wanted.... When He takes His hand off the wheel... Its because you asked for it......
However I will admit that this person is waaay over the top and does the rest of us no favours...

Your not serious are you? Because I can tell you first hand mental illness is not caused by demons. And thats coming from someone with schizophrenia that use to hear voices. I know first hand that every thing you precieve and think is cause by a chemical reation in the brain.

Edit to add:
I happen to know some good info from DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) and it`s not nice, to say the least, spreading the word that having avoidant personality disorder, depression or borderline is because you have a demon inside you.

So should I stop and renounce my beliefs because catholic priests choose sex with children over marriage (read your bible guys, if you can't keep it in your pants get married) and some obscure Mormon cult has child sex slaves? I'm confused and to be honest, a little bit angry. You do realize that there are Christians that are not part of a church and shun organised religion as a whole, right? I don't understand how someone can pidgin hole millions of people on the the actions of a few.

Ok, on the flipside of that, how about secularists that are a part of grand and glorious organizations such as NAMBLA that push their agenda of sexual relations with small young children as normal.
Its very easy to point out the bad in Christianity, and I will admit that there are the bad points and bad mistakes in Christian history. However do not be guilty of a blanket statement that all Christianity is bad.
The inverse is more true of secularists. Secularists are far more guilty of imposing their beleifs on others as well as wanting to control others. Don't even get me going on the liberal secularist statist agenda that we currently live in.
