Dieu juste cette maladie hallucinatoire de se croire connecté à l'au-delà qui t'y fait croire. Abraham tu as oublié de consulter. Religions, croyants, gourous et autres délirants en tenues de manipulateurs arrêtez de brouiller l'écoute de nos psychotiques chroniques, n'ajoutez pas vos illusions à leurs hallucinations déstabilisantes; c'est une insulte faite à nous familles qui essayons chaque jour de se sortir de ce marasme de cette maladie qui détruit les familles. www.psychose.eu/E-Pas-compris.html Libère-toi de ta liberté de croire alors sépare-toi de tes chaînes religieuses La parole de Dieu, NON que ta psychose hallucinatoire qui te parle à toi-même comme tes rêves et cauchemars de nuit. Dieu, Diable, Paradis, Enfer, Âme, Foi, Prophètes que de l'illusion psychiatrique cultivée pour te rendre obéissant. N'attends pas que la schizo entre chez toi Croyant tu dois être en manque de dictature religieuse. Et il y a des pays qui respectent ta demande alors vas-y. Bâtiments religieux : Rien n'est trop beau pour vénérer cette maladie du désastre familial. Alors nous parents dans cette galère on n'attends rien de personne, d'aucun partis politiques alors laissez-nous crever avec votre mec qui marche sur l'eau et votre âne ailé l'ascenseur du ciel: Ne soit plus à la botte des religions avec leurs histoires abracadabrantesques dignes d'arriérés mentaux. Pour une santé mentale comprise, souffrants et familles vos histoires de culte on en a plein le culte et aussi de la laïcité protectrice de cette entourloupe religieuse. < psychose.eu/E-Plagiat.html > S'il y avait un Dieu cette maladie hallucinatoire n'existerait pas. Elle est la dictature du cerveau pour le souffrant. Elle est l'empêcheur de vivre, l'intolérable pour sa famille. Chez toi ça va alors gave-toi d'irréalité mais n'attends pas que la schizo entre chez toi. La connerie est humaine, lorsqu'elle est inhumaine elle m'est intolérable.
