Who does an atheist lean on in times of trouble?

[dyresand]

S&M clubs have safe words and rules. God doesn't give a shit about your consent, sanity, or safety.

I think his list of safe words is something like "MORE" or "AGAIN" or words to that effect. The trick is that he'll claim he "only believes in a literal interpretation."

The safe word with god is banana.

I'm aware of who the Christians go to in times of trouble. Do atheist have a shelter? A place of safety? From what I've read and it's easy to look up atheist are far more likely to commit suicide than others . The atheist has no place to run.

We have our loved ones, each other, counseling, and so forth.

But few of us consider suicide some sort of 'sin'. If you're suffering greatly with no point and no reasonable hope of it ending while you're alive, I don't fault someone for availing themselves of that option. I consider it cruel to force someone under such circumstances to continue their life. Let them have more morphine, it's a lovely way to go.

I agree with you on that. Considering if someone is in that bad of a situation were they don't want to live anymore i mean that's their life no one should hold any obligations against it. Then there is the other part to it meaning terminal illness hell i would kill myself i wouldn't want to die in a hospital attached to machinery to keep me alive that is way is worse because that is a slow painful death.
