It's been a few days since we've heard from you, GD. I hope everything is alright.

Haha, just came back from a vacation in Carmel California. This kid just bitches and moans about his first world problems, it's getting old. He needs to get out and find out what life is really about if he can't handle a loving family. Time to see what happens when a 13 year old brat sees what the world has to say about his OCD if he doesn't love his family enough. The atheist community online will not do jack shit to help this kid out, besides corrupt his mind and turn him against his family, and when he leaves, he will realize his atheist friends don't have the resources to provide for him or his medication.

Right. Any problem that isn't life threatening can be discounted out of hand.

For a 14 year old with OCD not getting the adequate therapy, things can be life threatening. OCD has a tendency to take over your thoughts and make life miserable.

I agree with Kev. You shouldn't make offspring. Just to be safe.
"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

You, however, are so uncomfortable with people disagreeing with you that you'll laugh off their problems to make yourself feel better. You should be ashamed of yourself.

RE: Still struggling.
Sorry i havent posted recently, nothing has been happening really. Today though, I found out one of my old elementary school teachers(not my teacher specifically, but I knew her) is in a hospice center, and is dying of cancer.

I went to her facebook to make sure mom wasnt misinformed and I saw her husband was asking for prayers and that she is dying. I thought "How could an all loving, all powerful god allow this to happen to anyone?" and then OCD put its mind in the matter, giving me some anxiety, and a bit of grief.

I still havent got new medicine, I need to kinda bad, Ive been a bit down the last couple of days.

Good to hear from you Gdog. I'm very sorry to hear about your teacher.

How does this praying work?

"You're obviously planning to kill this person God. Could you not, please? I think that would be better. I know better than you. Your plan is flawed."

I really hope you can get some medicine soon. Are you still seeing the therapist?

A loving family isn't one that:

1. Delays getting him treatment for a documented illness
2. Employs psychological abuse to sway him to believe what they believe

I have no doubt that they think that their actions are coming from a place of love, but what's that old saying?  "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Note, also, that no one here is saying that he should run away, disown his family, or anything else of that nature.  What we're pointing out to him is that they're acting selfishly, and not in his best interest.

Sometimes parents suck.  It happens.  I had a terrible father:

Physically abusive towards my oldest brother
Verbally/mentally abusive to the rest of us (he really liked to make us feel like we were worthless pieces of shit)
Used to kick holes in doors and walls to get his point across
Tried burning down the house - with us in it - when I was a toddler
Just got released from a 15 year stay in prison for molesting my cousin/godmother in the 1980s

I have absolutely no doubt that he love(d) us.  But he was a terrible parent and is a terrible human being.  Now, I'm not saying that GDs mom (or brother, for that matter) is anywhere close to being that kind of monster, but just that sometimes a person's intentions and their actions are at odds, and, ultimately, it's actions that count.

I seriously question whether his family are acting lovingly. I think they're possibly more concerned with their discomfort and accountability to Jesus.

Eh, they probably fear for his soul or something similar.  Not so much their accountability to Jesus, but his.

Maybe, yeah.

I don't know why they think they can achieve what God cannot. People have a high opinion of themselves.
