Hi Lou.
> Please do not post slanderous statements here about me. Your saying here that I have a mental illness is defamatory
Mental illness is a very real human condition. I have a mental illness. Knowing this, what is there about me that would deserve a defamatory characterization by you? What did I do wrong? I would encourage you to not add to the stigmatization of mental illness by equating it with defamation.
> and that you say that my religiosness is a result
Religiosity is a clinical symptom of bipolar manic psychosis. It is not a judgment made upon the religion that the affected person practices.
> The term, mental illness, is a vague term that can be defamatory.
The term "mental illness" may not be well defined or understood by much of the public. However, I would hope that your understanding of it were educated and enlightened, as you are a frequent visitor to a forum devoted to the phenomenology of these medical conditions. If I came to the conclusion that you were diabetic and verbalized my belief, in what way have I defamed you? If I came to the conclusion that you were mentally ill and verbalized my belief, in what way have I defamed you?
My saying that you are mentally ill would in no way represent some sort of accusation by me any more than would my saying that you had influenza. I do have some thoughts regarding your behaviors here on Psycho-Babble, but I am not convinced that it would be productive to divulge them at this juncture. My concern for your welfare is very real. If you were in the midst of a bipolar psychotic manic state, it is unlikely that you would recognize it as being such. It is likely, however, that you would reject any suggestions that you were indeed manic.
I don't know whether or not this applies to you, but:

I do not believe that anything I have written here will influence your thoughts and behaviors. I am hoping that it might influence others.
