Why the hell are we using our justified disgust with Christianity to be utter assholes to mentally ill persons?
No, ladies and gentlemen. This isn't funny. It's frigging immoral, imho. Do you think its easy for mentally ill persons to have relationships? Do you think its easy for them to find understanding persons, especially if they are able-bodied, who have the time and the understanding to stick with them through thick and thin? This is your abled-bodied privilege stinking up the place, yo. Not funny. In fact, EPIC FAIL.

ETA: I realize this is Amero-centric, but I don't know enough about other countries' mental health systems to speak to them.
