Quite unusual. The "holier than thou"-number with reference to death penalty proponents, I mean.
That´s usual what the proponents accuse us opponents of - acting as we were "holier than them". ;-)
Jesus would have to show up to restore your faith? Sorry, but I don´t assume he´ll allow you to "blackmail" him that way. ;-) So I suppose you´ll simply have to stay atheist, won´t you? (And not knowing what you miss.)
I would have to agree with your words. The personal attacks here are getting a little beyond a joke. I personally apologize for the small mindedness that is becoming all too frequent here and I assure you it is a minority that appears to come here to personally attack others. I have been ridiculed numerous times myself(on the blogs of others) for leaving comments for you, which makes me reluctant to comment again. And that's not ok! You're not aware of this but even other bloggers are defending you from these cyberbullies in their blogs now (which is kind of sweet).
I don't read a lot of what you post I must admit, I'm usually in a hurry & your posts are usually very wordy ;) but I respect your right to share what's on your mind without having to suffer personal attacks, the same way I should be able to comment without reprisal.
I do not know what it is like to live with bipolar disorder but I have lived with severe mental illness for 12 years. I think the treatment you have suffered is truly awful and wish you the very best with your lawsuits. I hope that some day you may actually get help with your condition which will enable you to live a more meaningful life.
That last paragraph was so touching. When I first came to this site it was for an educational purpose, as you know, but the connections I made here became important to me, so I stuck around, enjoying the company. What I had hoped for from that point was that perhaps just being a friend would eventually be enough to make a difference... Even just a very small difference in someone's life and your words here show me that is very possible. I'm astounded at how quickly that's happened. Thank you for showing me the value in just being a friend.
It is the 6th of February here today, although it is still the 5th there in the USA, I will take advantage of the situation and be the first to say "Happy Birthday my dear friend!"
I hope the card I sent reached you in time and that you find some happiness in your special day. Take care Jeremy.
