Not at all! Typically I am hardly religious. But once, when manic, I went off the deep end, believing I could cast out demons, hallucinating Jesus and the voice of the Holy Spirit, believing spiritual people could read my mind, etc (thus, super hyper-religious). I was also reading the Bible six times a day and constantly praying often out loud like a carismatic preacher. So, you can understand why I worry that if I become overly concerned with spiritual matters I am becoming delusional. The above episode was the worst of my life and as a result, I try to be extremely cautious of both mania and spiritual matters. In this particular case, I'm not sure if I am becoming delusional (I've been manic for weeks) or if maybe I am just worried about some things I've read. I'm not sure, thus, seeking advice. Like I said, I didn't mean for this to be a religious debate or anything. I was trying to make sure I'm not completely losing my mind again.
