Why hate Athiest?

[jstrodel]

I have spent time encouraging people in Alchoholics Anonymous. I have been fairly close friends with alchoholics in homeless shelters and gave them rides, helped them find housing. I have served in drug rehabilitation programs. I lived in a Christian missions house for a year and a half and watched people go in and out with drug problems, as I cried because they wouldn't change their lives around with AK-47's going off in the background as drug dealers shot each other.

This does not substantiate your rather grandiose claim that you "spent years of [your] life helping alcoholics get sober."

And so, that was essentially a lie. A rather self-serving lie, told simply to disarm my suggestion that you were irrationally focusing on one problem to the exclusion of a bigger and more important problem. I would have gladly accepted "I simply haven't addressed it here" or "it hasn't come up," but instead you chose to lie in order to make yourself look good.

And you wonder why I neither trust you nor listen to your arguments?

I suppose that is a lie if you understand "years of your life" to be a full time job, rather than 1 or 2 hours or so a day of helping other addicts. I have spent years of my life, at the rate of 1 or 2 hours a day, helping people get sober.

I lived in a place that I didn't have to for 1 1/2 years, full time. I dealt with stuff all the time. Bringing people in, taking away their needles, taking the crack out of their hands, counseling people, etc. Plus a lot of other time.

Why don't you go and relish in the joy of telling people the truth that they can take drugs and if they do it responsibly, they might not cause that much damage to themselves.

I am putting you on ignore. Your writing is pure sophistry. There is no attempt to do anything but throw up a wall of accusations, mocking, and psuedo-intellectualism.
