"Jesus Christ" ... "random crazy people start fixating upon you as their leader/friend/saviour/nemesis/soulmate and reading all sorts of crap into every aspect of their life"
You may be on to something bigger than what you meant.
People compulsively and dangerously obsess over many things, I think in our ancient history it was probably beneficial. I mean when you can catch polio from squatting in the woods, I think it probably kept many people alive by them obsessing over staying clean and doing routines and such.
Today, well I think it only hurts people. When no one really has to try to live past 30 obsession is very dangerous. I turned 21 yesterday, I've never had any form of disease or condition (besides psoriasis, which since I moved country the UV light of been more southern has completely removed it) and the only times I've ever been in hospital was once when I visited my dad because he had kidney stones and the other was visiting my mum at work.
My wife caught something, probably the influenza B outbreak that happened, and was sick for almost a week. Me? Not a thing, I've never had the flu I'm completely immune. My brother was bed ridden with the flu one time, my entire family had it except me... worst week ever! If I ever became a doctor I'd probably smother people.
I regret using the perjorative term "crazy". I'd change it if I could, and I apologise for any offense caused. Unfortunately, on a rapid-fire discussion site like this, speed is king, and we (well, I) often say things which, after time to reflect, come across as needlessly judgemental, insulting, or inflammatory. By then it's too late to take back one's words.
I've known many religious people, including my own sister, and while I find serious, fundamental flaws in their capacity for logical reasoning, ability to distinguish between reality and unreality, decision making processes, moral worldview and attitude towards others, I wouldn't call them crazy, so I apologise again.
