A (Christian) cousin of mine posted about an alleged Christian preacher named Yousef Nadarkhani who had been sentenced to death in Iran for not renouncing Christianity. The link this friend pointed to was for an e-petition asking that he be spared or some sort. Quite aside from the fact that...
We try to keep debate civil in the chat. However, theists coming in to debate often cause a row in chat. We have, for that very purpose (or any formal debate people want to have) a separate debate channel. If you want to come in to discuss religion, it's probably best to ask a chat operator...
I am also bipolar with some (but different than yours) psychotic symptoms.
The truth is, what works for one person doesn't work for everyone, or it would be a lot easier to for psychiatrists to fix everyone. You probably just need to experiment with anti-psychotic meds in addition to...

I went ahead and started at day 1 because the last time I tried I could only do 5 proper-form pushups. (I usually do 3 sets of 15 on bench pushups, and have been trying to work down to doing correct ones on the floor, but am still struggling.) I managed to do 7 in the end max set, though, so I...
