Anti-fundie quote of the day:
"They can go into town and pray to an imaginary friend, but I can't smoke pot legally cause they say it alters your perception of reality...well I think talking to imaginary people is a pretty obscured sense of reality!!!"

1. Sounds about right.
What a bunch of maroons as Bugs Bunny would say.

2. Living here in Bizarro land!
Yes, you can never get the fundies to accept that their world is built around ancient fairy tales no more compelling than Paul Bunyan and his Blue Ox.

3. Not to be technical, but....
Schizophrenia (SCZ) (pronounced /ˌskɪtsɵˈfrɛniə/ or /ˌskɪtsɵˈfriːniə/), from the Greek roots skhizein (σχίζειν, "to split") and phrēn, phren- (φρήν, φρεν-; "mind") is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. Distortions in perception may affect all five senses, including sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, but most commonly manifest as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction. Onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood,<1> with approximately 0.4–0.6%<2><3> of the population affected. Diagnosis is based on the patient's self-reported experiences and observed behavior. No laboratory test for schizophrenia currently exists.

4. Well... that sure sounds like "Talking to Jesus", "Hearing Gawd",
"Exorcising teh Deemons!", and "Speaking in Tongues".

Just go to a few 'services' in the right place and witness group schizophrenia.
