So, you're all for forcefully changing people's minds when it comes to their beliefs? Using underhanded and dangerous means to bring them around to your way of thinking?
And you think you're better than any religious extremist? Ha!

I'm saying it's ethically and morally bankrupt to physically and forcefully change a person's mind simply because they don't agree with you.
Whether or not a belief in God originates in the mind or comes from the spirit is irrelevant. I have no way of knowing where it comes from. I can only guess.
However, when it comes to matters of personal spirituality, or lack thereof, I have the right to think what I'd like, just like you do.

Yes, I am for it
After all, faith comes from God, not from the brain...so, this treatment will only "fix" the delusional and ones that haven't been given the redeeming blessings of the lord, but instead, are just brain damaged violent lunatics
All for it, a-yup.
and if an atheist is showing signs of violent delusional behavior, same thing...if its spiritual, it won't change their perception...if its just a brain disorder, it will be corrected.
Are you saying that religious experiences are simply a brain issue more than a spiritual issue? what little faith you have
