Oh please shut up and go away. Ana and Mia are just shorthand terms for anorexia and bulimia. They are not \"false gods\" and no one prays to them.

Anorexia and Bulimia are neither claimed to be religions nor are they diseases.
They're nervous disorders.
There's a difference.

Oh, right, girls develop eating disorders because they don't believe in God. Which is why my eating disorder developed when I was a devout Christian.

Actually, there ARE websites that promote anorexia and bulimia. I don't think they treat it is as a religion or worship God's named 'Ana' and 'Mia'.

Actually I did read one site when I was writing a paper on eating disorders that wanted eating disorders protected under religious freedom...twisted original article, but there are some scary people out there encouraging girls to become anorexic or bulemic

True Christians don't believe in nervous disorders or psychological problems. It's all the work of Satan!

Actually I have read some pro-ana sites that claim to, at least disguise it, as a religion. One writer ever drew up their own ritual based along the lines of Ceremonial Magic. Oh and I agree, they are frightening, but probably not for the reasons that you think they are.

Why do fundies always insist that people they don't like are a religious cult?

This quote needed more from the original site. As it is it's just weird and confusing. The rest of the article makes it truly fundie, though, proporting to blame atheism for eating disorders and claiming that God can cure Anorexia.

Are they the sisters of \"Atheos\"?

No! People with bulimia pray to the porcelain god. Maybe they have names for their toilets, but I doubt it.

Right. My arthritis meds didn't mess me up and make me stop wanting food; it was all because I was praying to Ana! Of course!
...jackass.

This person's making a joke, right? Pro-anorexia communities may be stupid and they may border on the cult-ish, but there are no deities.
