...and if we don't know where to find you, threats of self-harm can and have fallen under the umbrella of the "no threats" rule, and we've actioned people before for it, IIRC.

We really aren't equipped to deal with people needing crisis intervention personally. We can empathize with a member's situation but in the end, all we can do is do what we can do.

Please stop using suicide as a threat. I've been suicidal far too often in the last 5 years and I can back up what the others here are saying. Please talk to a professional about it. This is exactly what doctors are for. People on forums are not the best resource for these feelings.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

Sorry about using suicidal threats.

I'm no longer suicidal. I'm just fine.

Glad you're feeling better, Adventurer. Breathe. Have something nutritious to eat. Get a good night's sleep.

Glad to hear you're feeling better, Adventurer.

I'm just distressed and traumatised by unnecessary, antagonistic backlash I'm receiving here. I'm just feeling suicidal, almost.

Every western atheïst should at least admit, Christian fundamentals are widely integrated in all western societies. The morals and discipline are also part of every western atheïst imo.

There's also a lot of moral teachings from the Bible and Christianity that aren't widely accepted anymore by western societies.

Sure, and kinda logical. Separation between church and state is a fine example (and evidence) why not all morals came from Christianity, most parts were nullified at some point, but the basic of ALL western societies is a Christian/Jewish morale.

What are Christian fundamentals, and how do they differ from non Christian fundamentals?
