I am the anomaly.

Im also curious to know each of your current signatures. Leave them in the comments if you dont mind :)

World's Most widely spread disorder

Schizophrenia. Actually, Mass Schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia as I understand, is a mental disorder where people, 'see' people who don't really exist(at least, others don't see it). They talk to them and even derive some comfort from that.
I kind of feel, this symptom exactly fits people who believe in someone called 'God' who always listens to them, on very rare occasions talks back to them, most of the times does things for them(though He doesn't show himself in person) and comforts them with 'Main Hoon Na' dialogue(atleast people comfort themselves with 'Woh Hai Na. Woh dekh lega').
Guess this is the world's most widely spread mental disorder, what with almost/atleast 50% of the world suffering from it.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, now that I think about it, why can't it be me, who is schizoprenic or something, denying the existence of some real 'God'? :P
