Re: "Diagnosing paranoid schizophrenia."

I know of no reason to think persons with schizophrenia are unable to
pray.

It has been observed that those suffering from paranoid schizophrenia
do not trust GOD enough to pray to HIM.


First of all, the term "paranoid schizophrenia" is rarely used by
psychiatrists who specialize in schizophrenia. Rather, they simply
refer to "schizophrenia." If you don't believe me, check out
scholarly articles in the field. A good place to start would be the
database on Schizophrenia Research Forum, www.schizophreniaforum.org.

Second, your suggestion that schizophrenics cannot pray, or do not
trust God, is simply untrue, unsubstantiated, not to mention
unprovable. "It has been observed" -- by whom, when, where, and how?
