Zealous religious beliefs are in fact a form of mental illness, called Schizotypism, which is on the schizophrenia spectrum or continuum.

However, a critical criterion is that the religious belief has to be idiosyncratic, in other words it has to be outside the cultural norms of one's society.

So, if you talk to God, asking for favours, good health, winning wars, etc., that is regarded as sanity; but if you can hear voices in your head and that you believe the God is talking to you, you're bonkers!

I recently had to explain this to a lady, who assured that the end is nigh, and that being a non-believer, I am destined to burn in Hell forever. So I would need to start reading The Bible asap!

Strange world we live in!

Before Covid-19,I attended a training course for a specific role.

One of my fellow trainees genuinely believed that the Earth is flat.

I provided him with a lot of scientific evidence to the contrary, but he was not convinced.

Apparently there are a lot of flat earth proponers on the web; and what they espouse is being believed!

The following is genuine:

I recently tried to convince a guy that you are more likely to be able to attract women into conversations, if you wash regularly, wear clean and intact clothes, brush your teeth, have a haircut, cut your nails and are not coveted in flies during warm weather.

I did not succeed!

Pic 13 year old me answering the phones for my dad's taxi company back home.

Customer: I need a taxi to this place.

Me checking in with driver to see how long he'll be. Proceeds to tell customer 20minutes.

Customer: that's not good enough I need it right now.

Me: unfortunately the driver is in a car at the other end of town and not a helicopter.

That always depends on which point of the nut you're looking at. If one part of it is going left, the opposite part of it is going to the right.

I was asked give a friend in her late fifties a tutorial on how to drive a car with an automatic transmission. She has been driving for almost forty years and had never driven an automatic. It took a while to convince her to leave her left foot on the nice big footrest, but she eventually got the hang of it.

"That the INSIDE lane is the one in the MIDDLE of the road. to an intelligent man who has been driving for many many years. "

The "inside lane" in Ireland and the UK is the lane closest to the edge of the road, or lane 1.

The inside lane in the US is the lane closest to the oncoming traffic.

If you were in Ireland he was correct, not you.
