...god's command is not indicative_? __ of a delusional mental disorder unless said person commits a crime and then psychiatrists/society dub said person delusional or schizophrenic?
If the voice a bad or sick person hears to commit a heinous crime is 'delusional' then those who claim to be compelled to do good work a god's voice must also be deluded?
Yes?

I think you will find that society says hearing voices is indicative of psychosis (if the voices are disembodied and in the person's own head) - not that there's anything wrong with that

Rotting Slop I have a Masters in Classical Theatre - please don't lecture me about what word to use and the rest of your answer is .... well ... rotting slop!
Anne: that is totally incorrect on all levels
If someone is hallucinating they are considered to have a mental illness even if it isn't *causing a problem* which is an incredibly simplistic term if I may say so
The reason homosexuality is accepted is the same reason witches are no longer burned at the stake: there was never a 'problem' in the first place.
