(18,312 posts)You know, I think you may have been on hiatus when this big fucking bruhaha fake outrage nonsense was being bandied about because !gasp! Someone used the word "delusion" when referring to religious beliefs. And the fucking psychologists (armchair and otherwise) just came out and omg you are so bigoted against the mentally ill, you can't use the word "delusional" without realizing that's a clinical term, are you calling believers mentally ill blah blah blah.
It was a total manufactured outrage dujour about OMG THE ATHEISTS HATE THE MENTALLY ILL LOOK HERE I'LL SHOW YOU WHY WITH SOME TORTURED LOGIC AND NONSENSE.
So I find it really fucking offensive when someone wants to be at total SHIT and be like "oh, you poor atheists, I understand you're all butthurt because God didn't give you a pony, so I'll give you a creepy hug and still be nasty to you when I post in your group. I understand depression when I read it from an anonymous poster on an internet message board..."
Fuck
You
Seriously. It's disgusting when done by Dr Frist and it's equally disgusting to have someone who isn't even a mental health professional DIAGNOSING THE MEMBERS OF A PROTECTED GROUP as being, wholesale and without exception, being sad, being hopeless, needing professional help, and being equated to institutionalized youth with severe emotional and mental health problems.
Yeah, but DON'T USE DELUSION WITHOUT PUTTING THE WHOLE DSM IV DEFINITION OF DELUSION AND REALIZING YOU"RE NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL OR AT LEAST NO SPECIALIZED TRAINING IN MENTAL HEALTH SO YOU CAN'T USE THAT WORD WITHOUT BEING A BIGOT...but you can infer that the posters of the A/A group are profoundly mentally ill. That's perfectly fine. As long as you end your post with a creepy group-hug smiley or equally dismissive icon.
Don't apologize for that shit. NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THAT SHIT
