either drugs, schizo, or STROKE turns you into a nutty right winger. the trifecta.
(sexual) abuse too. this short gives three good examples: shia labeouf, jonathan majors, russell brand.
Do you become an abuser? Or does sexual abuse make you religious?
Mental issues make you an easy target for religion.
Lots of things cause mental issues.
Not to say that all religious people have mental issues. It’s just religion has a compelling business model.
The state should be barred from imposing religious indoctrination/pseudo-science (12 steps, etc) as a “cure” for addiction.
I think it’s important. Most of the people in AA aren’t religious, but the “program” wouldn’t survive if it lacked structure. People use the religious terminology, but most of them don’t believe it.
Just gonna leave this here…
