What about George W. Bush Jr.? Was he politically motivated, or religiously motivated? He claimed he was on a 'mission from God'.

I'll have to revise through all that's been said later (busy these days). But I have family members who openly state that their religious activity is low, or more or less nonexistant due to laziness...and there are several others who debate things within Islam openly. I can assure you it had nothing to with religious freedom.

We NEVER force religion onto others, especially by brute force.

1) I mean why demons only attack those "of the faith".  They pick of the weak ones yeah... but the weak of the believers, hence why it wouldn't manifest in outsiders as much.  (Or so they would guess.)

2)  I'm only talking about DID because it's a funny coicindence.  It's the psychiatrists version of Demon possession.

The Crusades were politcally motivated to export europes violence outside of europe since the person being invaded, even if they won the war, suffered MASSIVE economic losses and there were a number of "poor lords" and proffesional soldiers at this point just rareing for combat and gains through war were always far greater then through peace.  (Since looting was allowed.)

The Westboro Baptist Church's entire goal is the banning of gay marriage.  Which would be a political motivation.

Aside from that.  Gahndi was a Hindu who believed in the core of every religion was good.  Gahndi's response to you would be....

"As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance, cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side."

Well it's "real" but not naturally occuring.

It's an Iatroginic disease.

Someone comes to a therapist with problems, and the therapist subconsiously (hopefully) trains them to assosiate each different feeling with a different personality... which creates a DID disorder.

Hmm. Like many mentioned she was just psychotic. The religious part was just the make up for the insanity.

I know some people believe in ghosts and stuff like that. But Ghosts/Angels/Devils would have been discovered already if they had an effect on our reality.

Such terms were used to explain things that were impossible to explain in the past. Mostly it has something yo do with altered perception of the world through hallucinogenic drugs like magic mushrooms which they put into the beer or other food or through mental illnesses that cause you to interprete stuff the wrong way. Because your brain messes up in putting action and reaction in the proper time frame or saves things in the wrong emotional context. This can even be influenced by other people or by yourself so that even rational people start believing weird stuff. Human minds can easily be influenced. Example If you are on a concert you can hate the music but if the crowd is having a lot fun you are too. If the whole world starts phantasising about Ghosts and everyone around you takes it seriously you will end up believing it too. If you grow up in an environment that seriously believes an alien robot sneaks into houses at christmas and determins if the inhabitants will have a good/bad/ok year ahead you will believe it. Some might be harder to convince but a couple of doctors some religious leaders pseudo scientific research and media coverage will convince most people.

Here we got a gullible person fed with weird informations and paired with a physichological condition that strengthens those believes and gives her the certainty that she is right and she acts accordingly.

Nothing to do with religion but you could argue that given a different background in the past she would have acted differently.

Well, it's all good then.

Religious reason were the drivign force of the Crusades (whether they were just a pretext used by those in power is besides the point, but it was the primary motivation of the common people).

Why does Westboro Baptist Church want to ban same sex marriage? Is it not due to religious reasons? Is religion not their primary motivation?

And Ghandi was really wrong about that. I'd say it's the other way around.

I'm not doging anything. Just making a point.

Is it widely accepted as such (i.e. iatroginic disease)? And that 'hopefully' sure makes me nervous. What sort of treatment would determine a psychiatrist to tell the patient to associate different feelings to different 'personalities'?
