Oprah steals God's thunder

WOMAN TELLS POLICE OPRAH INSTRUCTED HER TO SET FIRE AT LAS VEGAS LGBT CENTER

I once claimed that nobody credited celebrities with talking inside their heads. They always gave that honor to God. Oprah just broke that glass cloud.

I would like to follow this story. It's still all about religion as this quote proves:

Glancey said the LGBT community “needed to pay for their sins."

But we'll know that religion is not causal when we have as many people claiming that the mechanistic forces of physical laws told them to do something nuts as the ones who say gods told them to. I suspect we'll be waiting a while.

Glancey was initially taken into custody in Valley Hospital Medical Center’s psychiatric hold area because she was believed to be suicidal, according to the arrest report.

You're scraping the bottom of the barrel.

It has nothing to do with chemical imbalances, neurological disease, or dopamine.

I bet she said an occasional rosary too.

still push the notion that one can legitimately hear voices that tell one to do things, normalizing this kind of thinking.
