If I may use this post to ask a question? Why is it that practically all
Schizophrenics I know and have heard off take up religion? In all their
various forms and guises. My own agnostic daughter ended up getting
baptised in the Anglican Church and then later fell out with them and
tried else where. I have some that visit the Lodge and quote the Bible
chapter and verse and seem almost desperate in their need to be
religiously convincing.
