We should make this a secular site.

I make no assumptions about your belief. And you are very much correct, that I don't own the concept of God. I never claimed that I did.
The same can be said for you though. Don't claim to know what I believe. I am a Universalist Minister. I believe that no one is wrong for believing what they believe.

As I stated, given the topic that the site should be secular, I strongly disagree. The site has never been secular, and it is my belief that it never should be. We will have to agree to disagree.

I'm beginning to think too that this post wasn't made because you want the site to be secular, but to stir the pot (as it were). @Rockster160 has seen my posts, (or will soon) and as such. Best of luck to you with your endeavours. :)

Faith and Belief are tricky things. For you it is irrational to believe in something that you cannot empirically quantify. To me (an extremely rational person according to my therapist) to not believe in God is irrational.
You cannot empirically prove the God does not exist, I cannot empirically prove He does.
Basically in given our personal beliefs we have to agree to disagree.

So do people deserve rational help. Absolutely 100%. For someone to get irrational help defeats the purpose of the site. But who are you to say what is rational for that person? :)

Also theology and religious belief are one in the same. I suppose the difference comes from the perspective. One could argue that theology is looking at the argument from the outside, whereas religion is looking at the argument from the inside, but that doesn't change the fact that it is the same argument.

The biggest thing, though, which just popped into my head... is that the best thing about this site, is that you don't have to answer every post that is made. You only answer the posts you want to. So, in your case if someone is asking for religious help, don't answer.

This is a site for people to go to for help. Some people need help with religion, or to understand their religious beliefs. They should have the same right as anyone else to find the help they are looking for and need. Simple as that.

After my flu I was hoping to be helping others more, but it looks like I'm the one in need of help yet again.

The doc has changed my meds a little. But otherwise no real change.

I have not read the above replies

Kyofu, It does get better. I say that a lot to you, and it doesn't seem to be happening, but it is.

When you were with your father, you were *****raped and abused. Now that isn't happening. That part of your life has gotten better.

Other things have happened since then, but your life has changed for the better ever so slightly.

Other positive things have happened as well. They may be small and seemingly insignificant but things are changing for the better. If you go and end things now, then your life won't have the chance to show you how good it can really be.

Change, whether good or bad, is always hard, and scary. But change is also a good thing. Without change then we stagnate, remaining the same forever. As we grow both in age and experience then we learn that change is good.
You have seen a LOT of things in your short time on this planet, and most of those things that you have seen are negative. Give your life the chance to show you the good.

As a fellow suicide attempt survivor, I know that life is hard, and suicide looks like the answer. But having survived, I've also learned that it isn't the answer.
Think of it like this. You and I have been through a lot together, and had I succeeded at my attempt at suicide, then I wouldn't have been able to help you through your hard times. I wouldn't have been able to be a part of your life. That is another positive thing about how all our lives are intertwined, and how staying alive and change are good things.

Thank you all for your responses. It helps to know that there are people out there who care to listen. :)

I learned to save my energy and only help people who would take into account what the helper is suggesting. Past experience has taught me not to give out sound advice to someone with deaf ears.

I always take into consideration everything that is suggested to me.

I made sure and got vaccinated. They say it's only a 36% it'll protect against the flu, but that's wayyy more than 0%. It also reduces the severity if one DOES contract it. Only problem is, I might end being born autistic, but I'll take that chance.

It seems every year I get the vaccine I get the flu. It may not be as bad, but I think this is rigged somehow. ๐Ÿ˜„
