Why are religious people so messed up?

Of course a self-professed atheist would reject this due to image of impermanent organic "self" that rules their beings. The narcissism attributed to "self" is just denial of being something greater than the sum of their physical parts. Both atheists and theists have a distorted and misappropriated image of what God is supposed to represent which they will never resolve. Both these idealist groups are tiresome to argue with. They are a sub-division, the prefix "sub" being the operative point.
