As you can see, the point of the thread is not to belittle anybody's hardships, it's certainly not to pretend that theists are the "tougher" people. I apologize again if my topic is misinterpreted, it's at best of theoretical interest.
Got bounced around, unconscious for a week, in therapy for years. I'm as hard as a coffin nail - cant starve me out, cant make me run..something about a shotgun.....
- and you might say that the point isn't to belittle hardships or comment on toughness...but why, then, are we asked to entertain the possibility that some harmed or disadvantage or otherwise vulnerable person is somehow incapable of finding something other than god to live for? I know for a fact that's not the case. Had an uncle with polio. He lived to fly model planes with his nieces and nephews...and to do shit people said he couldn't or shouldn't..even if it killed him (and scared the living shit out of everyone responsible for him). It didn't kill him, and neither did polio. He lived 70 full years..fuller years, I think, than many privileged people. I think that I've only ever met one person who's love for life and positivity were as intrinsic to their identity - and I fuckin married her before some predatory savage got his mitts all over the good stuff.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
