Seriously, I'm okay. I wasn't trying to insult your faith personally. Faith is a hard, hard thing. It's not a simple thing to figure out. LIFE isn't a simple thing to figure out, you know? And people have differences of belief. And, people sometimes get heated and say things they don't mean (we all do it--God knows I do).

I can only speak for myself, but I was just having fun tonight for the most part, not trying to insult your Catholicism.

I hope all is well.

I don't really know you, Mucci, but from seeing your posts I do worry about you. Perhaps you're fucking with everyone and your seeming naivete is an act. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, though. I remember a while ago you saying you tried to kill yourself before. That sort of pulls on my heart-strings because I've known several people who've done it, and many who've tried (and I've considered it before, too). Anyway, I'm not going to try to blather on about how to cope or what you need to do or how you need to change. But one thing I am most concerned about is your propensity to take what people say here as a personal attack on you. If the internet is making you take hundreds of klonopin, please take a break until you calm down. If something riles you up, go do something else for a while. This place is supposed to be fun. People can be...um...curt here, surely. And you're never going to get people to have the same reverence for Christianity as you do. But if someone makes a joke or even an attack on the religion, you need to understand that it's not about you. I don't think (and hope) that anyone is trying to be malicious toward you, or trying to hurt you personally. Certainly people got offended and opposed you in that thread because the content of that hurt a lot of people's feelings. A significant portion of the site's membership is gay or bisexual. Anyway, I'm rambling. Essentially, what I want to say is that you need to separate the internet from real life. The things that people say aren't meant to hurt your feelings or make a mockery of you. The business tonight was just trying to take something people thought was hurtful and turn it into something amusing. They squeezed some joy out of something acidic. I hope that you figure out a way to not take every post so personally and can even have some fun here, too.
