There are all sorts of issues here.

For one thing, why is he so hot to unload such a premo-system for so little cash. Under $600 for an i7 system? That’s barely more than you’d need to get an underpowered Dell from Best Buy – that should set off all sorts of warning flags.

Next problem – “money transfer”? What’s that? Better be sure it really is Paypal and not something like Western Union that he’s trying to pass off as PP.

Lastly, Alienware? Have you checked out their product support? I remember their pre-Dell days. I don’t know if they are more trustworthy now, but the thing is that their client base is still the same: drop a huge wad of cash for the highest-powered components, and but not necessarily the reliable of components. Overclock it right out of the box, and if it fries next month, AW will just replace it, right?

Omenosis:
.

Originally coined to refer to a broad range of disorders that give rise to and sustain religious beliefs; including echolalia, schizophrenia, stunted moral development under Kholbergs theory of moral development, low IQ, transference of a father figure, experiments relating to the god helmet and god gene, a defense mechanism for fear of death, and internalized conformity. All of these refer to the general catch all term of Omenosis.

It is a pseudo-psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. These distortions in perception may affect all five senses, including sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, but most commonly manifest as "spiritual experiences," paranoid or bizarre delusions, dreams and visions of gods and demons, and/or disorganized speech and logic with varying degree of social or occupational disruption. Onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood during childhood indoctrination, with approximately 98.4–99.3% of the population affected. Diagnosis is based on the patient’s self-reported "experiences" and observed behavior. No laboratory test or hard DSM definition for Omenosis currently exists.


In its narrowest sense, Omenosis deals more with how religious a person is, and less with what religion a person has. They may manifest their omenosis in any religious tradion. They could believe in different gods, practice different rituals, believe in the transcendent, experience “magic”, believing in psychic abilities, believe in a soul, retell different myths, revere different symbols, believe in the "sacred" or accept different doctrines about deities and afterlife, but they all suffer from the same general condition of Omenosis. The most severe cases are manifested in totalism, where they hold that their Omenostic belifs are the answer to all of life’s complicated and varied problems and questions.


Studies may suggest that genetics, early environment, neurobiology, psychological and social processes are important contributory factors; some recreational and prescription drugs appear to cause or worsen symptoms. Current psychiatric research is focused on the role of neurobiology, but no single organic cause has been found. Due to the many possible combinations of symptoms, there is debate about whether the diagnosis represents a single disorder or a number of discrete syndromes. Dr. Paul Kurtz and others might endorse the idea that major religious figures experienced Omenosis psychosis - heard voices and displayed delusions of grandeur. But, despite its etymology, Omenosis is not the same as dissociative identity disorder, previously known as multiple personality disorder or split personality, with which it has been erroneously confused.

Psychohistorians, on the other hand, might accept the psychiatric diagnoses. However, unlike the current medical model of mental disorders they may argue that poor parenting in religious societies causes the religious persons schizoid personality.
Julian Jaynes in his book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind; he proposed that until the beginning of historic times, schizophrenia or a similar condition was the normal state of human consciousness. This would take the form of a "bicameral mind" where a normal state of low affect, suitable for routine activities, would be interrupted in moments of crisis by "mysterious voices" giving instructions, which early people characterized as interventions from the gods

Increased dopamine activity in the mesolimbic pathway of the brain is consistently found in religious individuals. The mainstay of treatment is anti-psychotic medication; this type of drug primarily works by suppressing dopamine activity. Dosages of anti-psychotics are generally lower than in the early decades of their use. Psychotherapy, and vocational and social rehabilitation are also important. In more serious cases—where there is risk to self and others—involuntary hospitalization may be necessary, although hospital stays are less frequent and for shorter periods than they were in previous times.

Funny that whenever I search that term all i get is answers from Y!A.

Omenosis

(From Latin omen (“‘foreboding, omen’”) and (pathology) "osis" used to form the names of any functional disorder of various parts of the body and mind, as in Psychosis.) Together, it is a term to denote the pathology behind religion and or religiosity.

Here is only a little i already wrote about 20 pages be honest if it stinks


1. Verdict

"are you okay?"
she always was so observant. I really wish she was the kind of mother ignored such behavior or apperarance. When i think of it, is there a mother like that at all. i would rather have a mother that cares then who ignores me, well at times like this.
"i am fine mom"i grouned.
I knew i was lieing to her face. but would really be better to say, mom i keep haveing dreams of things that happen. This happened alot recently. First i thought that it was a coincedence. After several things in a row, the things kept coming true. Would it make her happy to tell her daughter was going crazy for some apparent reason.I would not do that to her.
" Cecilia, come on i know somethings up. You can tell me." I could hear the destress in her voice.
I wish i could tell her. She would not understand. no one would.
" No mom nothings wrong, just please drop it." I not much of a liar. i knew she knew that i was liying but.. but nothing i had to try, todo my best.
i was sure she would not let this go but i know i could escape the confrontation now. I could not postpone it much longer. But i know this was not the right time.
I left. needed to go. I had no were to go i thought. surtuntly not my room i would try my best ignoring sleeping. Right when i would hit the pillow i would sink into a deep sleep. Full of flashes, glimpses of things to come. Knowing that before all of this my life life was not as... there is no word really for it. Except for crazy.
I stood there at the door. stareing at it. Was this my verdict, to have no were to go. No really close enough friend to go to.
I knew if i wanted to ovode this talk i could only go to my room.I left the room. Not looking back.
" Night Mom " Hope you sleep better then i do. i knew that she would. Who could stop me from worring. no one. no one cared enough.
" See you tomorrow sleep tight love y- "
" Love you too mom. "
I did love her. i knew she loved me. for now.

******************************** ****************************************

This was like no other vision i ever had. Much more clearer. Much more definition. Like my visions before were like watch through heavly tinted glass. Blurry. THough this was the first dream i doubted was going to happen. It was also the time i wish i could watch longer. I wish i could control my.. curse. it is not a rare occassion that i find no words to explain my visions. It happens quite often since most are extraodinary. At the time they did at least. Compared to this, they looked like carnival tricks. No more significant then a dream.
I again find myself at astrain of words. I thought i was actualy dreaming. There was a group of... loss of words again. Extra ordinary beings. They all surrounded something. There looked like there 5 of them. I don't find myself able to describe them in a couple of sentences. to much to describe. They were beautiful but, not away people would see. Sane people at least.
I saw something different that to me was beautiful. Only i feel i could see the beauty in them. Normal eyes could not coprehend it. they all seemed to be saying something together. It was quiter then a wisper. Again to low that i don't think i should have been able to hear. Maybe there was more to my ... gift then i thought.
There was something i did notice. Actually it was more noticable then any thing else. There eyes they were black. Looking into them was like looking down a hole.A deep trench in the ocean. never ending , it could go on forever. It was what some people found fritening. To me exalerating.
As i focused I saw they were in my room. THey just stood there tried to see what was on my bed. Though i already knew. Me. Cecilia Rose McKay. I thought why such creatures were circleing around me. Whispering. I only heard the beatifulest on say
" It's her." he said without looking away from me. His face was suprised, and anxious. " I told you we would find her here". he said to the girl next to him. Her face differed from his. She was in pain. Not phsyical but mental pain. She was different, though then the others they all looked relaxed except for him. Thats all i would be calling him for now. I was sure how i felt about him he seemed very familiar. Not like i saw him before but like we were together once. Friends maybe, or more then that i was uncertan. Any way all i can see is the future not the past.
All of a sudden Though i was still in my vision i woke up they looked at me for a minite. The one that looked older then the rest smiled and simply said " hello."
Light was beaming from my window. The sun was quickly becoming my favorite thing. It showed me the night was over. Tonight was the only night that i was starting to hate the sun. Everything in my world was moving and changing jarasticly. As i made my way to my closet i

If you can't even be bothered to reread your own work to check for problems, why would anyone else bother with it?

Yes, it stinks. If you handed this in for English homework your teacher would probably hand it back unmarked for you to redo it. Now consider that your English teacher is paid to read your work.
