Hello LL!
Yeah we missed ya. Please take care of yourself.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Now do we need to send out a search party for Beccs?

Did you at least do the gentlemanly thing and leave a calling card? hehehe
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Welcome back, LL.
Ben, I have released the hounds and they will get you if you don't return to us.
I've only been gone a couple of days.
Sheesh. Anyone would think I've been gone for months.

Well, little lunch, I missed you  I'm sorry you have been going through some SHIT! Of course yes, suits and reverence for your situation and the law go a long way.. just not more than once yeah? As someone else mentioned, you're not alone. And I know what you mean by not being able to think yourself out of a chemical physiological issue, and that societies stigma and tropes based upon nothing but time-formed ignorance. My brother doesn't understand this concept and as a result is a homeless vagabond at age 28, and has been since mom finally kicked him out the nest at 22. Sadly I've learned that females are more likely to seek help for mental illness than men. For reasons you've been able to overcome and rationalize! Kudos to you, little lunch. If you're ever in Denver, you have an open invitation to lunch (not the dinner menu nor most expensive item on menu nor with expensive dessert drinks or alcohol). Is it sad I had to mention that disclaimer? Oh well. Hell, for what you've been going through I aM willing to buy you a beer. Soyah!
Beccs glad to see you're back and glad to know you weren't in Whateverists sheets! 
Personally i would like to be around the forum more. I enjoy it. I'm just having some health issues causing me to be on some medications that affect my ability to do so. I'm in a 4wk stint (with 3 days inbetween) in the hospital but I am around though, reading and kudosing. BENNIEEE WHERE'S MY GET WELL BISCUITS?!!
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Have I fallen through a time warp and been missing longer than I thought?
Weekend.
Monday and Tuesday in surgery.
Nope, my calendar is correct.
Must be the rest of the world that's screwed up.
I hope you get well soon, Luckie.

Are you the one who has been leaving little cameras hidden in my bathroom?

Well if it makes you feel better I didn't miss you or notice you were gone. I don't notice things are missing until they come back, i need them, or they are found and then I get all huffy about what I'd lost.

Thank you, i apprecuate that.  however I'm pretty sure my life is in the hands of chimps with clipboards. We don't get nice things like actual doctors here in the states, you see.. all of those are moving to Canada!

No but I'm pretty sure your kind made me drink a camera last week!
Which.. is far more invasive than a shower creeper IMO. x)
