Reader comments about this quote:
Every man with narrowminded veiws who uses his position to influence other peoples children is a disgrace to his proffession.
 -- Christopher Cobb
 
The simple, honest truth right there.
 -- No Jesus, Know Peace
 
Brandwein is just another overly-educated fool. Sadly he will realize that fact when it is too late and and incalculable harm will have been done to our (mentally-well) children.
 -- Randy Minnick, Porterville, CA
 
Mentally ill, sounds about right. What would christians say about a person that believes aliens created us and that one day soon, they will come back to collect all those that believed in them. Sounds pretty wacked doesn't it?
 -- Philip sober, Toronto, On
 
Maybe he should look more into a religion before he trashes it, because people are missing an amazing life and gift from the God who is all love!
 -- Nicole Brown, Cowpens
 
They sure are going to regret every word they typed someday...but it'll be too late.

 -- falleen, stillwater
 
that is awful. just because you do not believe something does NOT mean that other people don't. what are you going to do when you die and realize that there is a god there that you have hurt so bad that you aren't going to go to heaven. there isn't a chance for you. if i were you i would ask for forgiveness now or you will live your life being another dumbass that knows nothing about living.

Brandwein is an over educated fool! Any person who believes this nonsense would have to be mentally ill...
 -- anonymous, Columbus, Ohio
 
Its shameful to think you can try to change other peoples opinions, if they are wrong than let them be wrong for it is of their own free will. Don't prosecute those who have more faith then you will ever have, just because you do not believe. Don't take your anger out on us just because we are different. Even so, why can't we live in peace with each other. I feel this way and i am only 12 years old. I believe and you will only realise the truth when it's too late.

Religion kills, Atheists won’t fight your “Holy Wars”. Instead of building a church use that time, energy, and money and help someone in need.

I feel sorry that this guy will burn in hell forever.

seems like all the responses from the nice religious people are a little violent, what does that say about the practices they follow. I like the idea of faith but not religion. Seems to me the 12 year old has the right attitude as did we all when we where children what happened along the way?

An awesome diagnose for your child!...A mental illness that gives not only peace of mind; but of Soul?...Thank you Dr.
 -- Gus, Pompano Beach
 
This does not even belong in the Agnostic section. If you believe this, go read John Locke, smack your head against a wall ten times, then come back and read Locke again, then this quote again. Have YOU been cured of your mental disorder?
 -- A Turin Turambar Turun Ambartanen, Gondolin
 
It's so interesting that so many "loving Christians" are hopeful that someone who disagrees with them will "burn in hell". And they wish for it fervently. God save us from "Christians".
 -- jim k, austin,tx
 
If Dr. Brandwein did not believe in God while he was living - he sure does now. It is sad he will spend the rest of his life in hell. A lot of charity is done by Christians who truly believe in God. Jesus will be glorified in the end.
 -- Tony
 
The mental illness of religion lies with adults. It is child abuse when they force this drivel on the innocent. Give children a good education and choice, the brave and curious among them will throw off this ancient construct and use their brains for the benefit of human progress. Sadly, the religious are frightened by the truth and do not really believe, deep down, in the ridiculousness of all religions. If they do think they are right, then they might as well chill out and smugly relax about it all. You figured it all out with out thinking. Well done.

If this guy will burn in hell for eternity for what is possibly a false conception of certian religions what kind of cruel god do you believe in?

Dr. Paul F. Brandwein is mentally ill
 -- Mariann, Brooklyn
 
Respectfully, I disagree with this quote (not actually from Mr. Brandwein, but whatever). I am a Christian, but that's not the point. I don't think every child who believes in God is mentally ill. That's like saying every child who's had one-sided propaganda shoved down his throat is mentally ill (which would make every child on Earth a mental patient).

Cool! I luv the quote!

WARNING: the writer is either depressed, with fears of future, failure in many aspect, and he is just manipulating us of his PERSONAL matters. His unsettled inner him redirect the righteous to gain vanity in eternity. Choose to believe him if you want to experience the life he got. HIS LIFE IS UNDER RUT.
