brotherlylove,
I have been trying to respond to your post, but it seems that everytime I try to quote it, my computer crashes. So here is my response to your question about seeing a pattern in my life.
The only pattern was constant, willful self-destruction along with a refusal to take responsibility for my actions that were worsening my problem. I was my own worst enemy, and once I realized this to be true, I was able to change and bring stability to my life. No god needed. I just needed to take control of my life. This revelation came after hitting rock bottom for the third time in my life, and that would make god a sadistic animal if that's how he wanted to send me a message.
And no, I didn't do what the bile said as I dismissed it as mere superstition at a young age. Then again, I didn't do what the Koran said either.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
