Evie, man, you're the kindest soul I know. I feel like I have to be gentle when I speak to you, lest I damage something precious and irreplacable in this world. You are an exhibit at the Museum of London or the Louvre. I feel privileged and honored to have had your influence on me, with your "inane posts", which I cherish. You have helped me to recover some of my lost humanity, and I am a better person because I have known you.
Like religious fundamentalists whose brains tell them the Creator of the Universe is personally speaking to them, your brain is lying to you, right now. I know that you know that, and that I cannot talk this away, but I want you to try to keep that thought in mind.
You are wonderful. You are intelligent. You are handsome (one of the only guys I'm a little jealous of, here... you have a good "look"). We are lesser on any day you do not come to this board. That said, we want only what is best for you, and if you need some time to yourself, then I wish the best for you. Just know that you will be missed, in your kindness and insight.
No, none of this is bullshit, though your brain probably is lying to you now, telling you it must be. I just don't care what anyone might think of this little bromantic prose, when your need is obviously greater than my personal sense of embarrassment.
Love you, man. Get better.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
