That sucks and all, but telling people to "Feel my damn pain" is awfully presumptuous. You don't know the people here. You don't know what anyone's been through. There may be people here whose experiences were even more painful than yours.
Mental health issues are challenging, and it's going to take work to live a normal life. But one of the keys to dealing with adversity is to avoid the "why me" mindset. The pity part will get you nowhere.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Yes, but it will taste like tears and self-commiseration.

lol you guys are funny. I enjoy this place. I wasn't really looking for sympathy.. I was simply saying that it's the trippiest conversion story I've ever heard. Who wouldn't believe? I had to believe in christianity. Who doesn't feel some sympathy there? lol. I had no choice but to believe in CHRIST-INSANITY.
I hate the bible. I love that do as thy whilst stuff.

I can relate. I, too, have schizo-affective disorder. While I don't consider my illness to be responsible for my religious beliefs, I understand how hard it can be to know what to believe and why if you have such an illness.
