Who are you to say that PVC's beliefs were just a crutch? You don't know him, you don't know his thought process. Considering how complicated human beings are and how little you know about PVC in particular, I think it's ridiculous for you to go throwing that sort of psychoanalysis about.
If PVC wants to put himself out for everyone to take a glance at his life and take pity on him for a day or two while he finds the strength to stop e-stalking a girl, then he is going to get some uncomfortable questions. Especially if those questions are related to beliefs that I personally feel are harmful in the political sphere in regards to the legal recognition of some of my friends relationships with each other.

I never said "this is obviously what you are". I made a conjecture, and you are correct I don't know him. I don't know you Rhy, and you don't know me (I think). However, he started this thread as an "Ask Me Anything about how terrible and dysfunctional I am right now". I agree that the way I posed the question was overly blunt and aggressive and extremely rude. But that is how I talk a lot of the time and it wasn't coming from a source of meanness.

It's fine for Strike to call him an ass but heaven forbid someone question why he developed his religiosity. What do you want me to be? Mr. Nice guy like I was in the beginning where I was told essentially to bug off because I was giving the "wrong advise"?
