Yeah, it's kind of like when people think I'm an atheist because I'm angry at god because of my disability. It's actually the opposite - I used to buy into the tripe that others told me. That my health issues in this life were preparing me for something greater, and all that jazz. I took comfort in it. It helped me cope. I realized I was an atheist because of a dozen and more things not related to my disability in any way that just never added up.
