It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

In Arabia; there's a saying: "when the camel falls; its knives become many".
i.e Let one start cursing somebody; even if they are innocent; and "knives" would come flying.
So bring them. Please. BTW; most members here are grown ups that have no need for your "personality analysis" of me.
In other words; criticize my faith since we are here to discuss; criticize my ideas since we are here to debate; criticize me enforcing my personality into debates. But you don't get to attack me personally; that is a troll's way; and that is a representation of the word "absurd"..
I didn't ask you for money, or a trophy. If you can't handle what I have to say; seek strength training or begin to lift weights.. literal ones; of course.

That is not what he is saying.

Even if that's true, unthinking insensitivity is actually worse than someone doing it deliberately. At least the latter pushes an agenda, of sorts. The former is just plain ignorant. That he still fails to acknowledge that is inexcusable. I'm glad that I am providing entertainment.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

If people appreciate their health through witnessing my insanity, I am grateful if I helped people appreciate their health. But I don't care how broken and fragmented my mind is, my soul will use this broken hardware and program whatever I want out of it and I will achieve goals and more goals than I even have now.
I am here to show it doesn't matter what happened to me and my brain, the soul can achieve and use it to achieve great things.
The illness was my fault, but God will help me and he will make me find the way, and I have learned to rely on him and his light and know the true reason that is with us all while my brain is totally unreliable without God's intense help.
Demons and sorcerers - should try harder in their efforts against me, and should be afraid of my resolve to be part of God's plan and help God's appointed Master and King on earth.

I am a bit late to this thread, and other people have already responded more or less as I would have, so I will only comment on this last bit.
PLEASE, CL, please tell me that this is you just being facetious! You've been here long enough to understand (hopefully  ) that we are not 'angry at the idea of a god', we actually do not believe a god exists.
What is it? Is your automatic Catholic indoctrination kicking in? I've had more than my share of Catholics dishonestly inform me, that I am an atheist because I am 'angry at god'.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

That is not what he is saying.
What am I saying; then?
Lining up all disabled children in the world, and shoot them or bomb them with atomic bombs?

My "insensitivity" is not unthinking. I don't know if it can even be called "insensitivity" at all. Last time I checked; humans waste their money on killing each other instead of helping the disabled, military budgets are always more than budgets for medication; and above all there's nuclear threats that make new disabled, chemical weapons blown that create more and more disabled people, and ironically it's all carried out in the name of democracy or helping the disabled. "The war to end all wars" kind of thing; and I'm the insensitive ? and it's taught in academies and universities to be that cruel ! , so that I would call "insensitive", not to say that seeing a disabled individual make the healthy think about what they have; or how lucky they are.

IDK, intentional insensitivity seems far worse to me. People cannot help when they are ignorant of something, and that state can be remedied, so they don't do it again.
His insensitivity seems intentional to me, anyway.
