Who does an atheist lean on in times of trouble?

My fiancé, friends, a counsellor, family.
I'm lucky that I have a good circle of old friends and very lovely fiancé. Theyve allways been there to support me and I know they will always help if needs be, as I would for them. 
Family, friends and my husband.

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. I've fought in three war and a few shit-storms they never really heard about in the States. I never found a need to lean on anybody but the troopers with me and a few particularly hot nurses.

Probably because noone else would understand anyway. My grandfather never talked about the war, which would have been the first one. ![[Image: Bumper+Sticker+-+Asheville+-+Praise+Dog3.JPG]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-d-3rfdI7nG0%2FTerwtFyFXoI%2FAAAAAAAACak%2F7kFSmHeVrng%2Fs320%2FBumper%2BSticker%2B-%2BAsheville%2B-%2BPraise%2BDog3.JPG)

"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."

 You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

True, but I found that talking about made it easier. I stifled a lot for twenty years or so, but then I just decided that if somebody didn't like what I did they could go fuck themselves. Now I say that used to kill people for $247/month, before taxes.
