If you dont believe in God (in any small way, shape, or form) then I guess the gesture of flicking off the supreme creator of all existence holds a lesser value.
But if you do (even if its just a little bit) then the significance is obvious. If God has turned his back on you and drove you to this point then F**k him. You dont need him. You have strength enough to pull through, and exist against his will.
I didn't realize it until just now, but I never really understood why some people have this strange sense of entitlement - as if God owed them anything and if their life sucks that obviously means God doesn't exist. I always thought the idea was that men are servants of God and they do what they have to do, not because they expect anything in return. One of those western things, I suppose. Interesting.
Argamemnon, I remember when I first signed up that you were on the verge of suicide as well. Hope you can go through this like you did a few months ago.
