First point:
I am not anti-christian, nor have i said ANYTHING to give such an idea. What i DID say, was that Lib seems to be too hung up on christian life, and he needs to break out of it, if he wants to change. Right now he is in a daze, getting constantly bombarded by the christian ideals, where you dress like a geek, speak like a geek, act like a geek, and only meets other geeks.
There is nothing wrong with religion, but there is definitelly something very wrong with the right wing white christian fanatic american religion, that´s for sure. Does anyone think his political ideals and his christian lidentity are just coincidences? They are consequences of each other.
You can be a christian, without being a right-wing-white-christian-fanatic kind of christian, wich is what i think Liberator is right now. The thing is, is it by his own choice? Or parent pressure?
Regarding pearcings, tattoos, and all that, i thought i was being crystal clear, but apparently i was not. It´s not about the piercings or tattos, it´s about doing what one feels good doing. It could either be a tattoo, or wearing a pink dress with a tutu, it doesn´t matter. Tattoos were just an example. Liberator needs to start thinking by his own head, and not that of his parents and church "friends".
Lib, If you feel confortable going to church, keep doing that. But don´t do it just because others want you to. I was born in a similar environment, i went to church every sunday, i had my First Communion cerimony and went to sunday school every week untill i was 12. But then i grew a mind of my own, and decided church was not for me. Sure my mother put up a good fight, but she couldn´t stop me.
As for you feeling afraid by going to crowded places, you need to adress those issues before anything else. How do you expect to make friends if you are afraid to socialize with people? Try to set up an appointment with your doctor, he will point you the right way.
The final advice i have to give, is a touchy one. Some people will agree, others will think it´s BS.
Judging from what i´ve read about you, you are a virgin, right?
Perhaps you should consider hiring the services of a sex worker, you know what i mean? It would do wonders for your self-esteem, because you would get rid of that social stigma that virgin people carry around like a ton of bricks. I know it´s BS, but lots of people martyr themselfs about it. They can´t stop thinking about it, and feel ashamed of themselfs and of admiting that to other people. It´s a touchy subject. They start to think there is something wrong with them (like what you are doing now), they think women find him ugly, and they start to clam up and turn reclusive because of it.
And since the possibilities of you getting laid are slim right now (no offense meant), the other viable alternative is to pay for it. Millions have done it before, there is nothing to be ashamed of. There are even lots of parents who take their sons out to do it.
So, at least think about it.
I wonder how many of you will read all of this, and how many will start flamming out without even reading half of it...
