Beowulfsfriend comments on Feb 6, 2019:

Only in so much as any crutch. I don't discount anyone who succeeds using that. We all know that healthy living is best. If it isn't used to such a degree as to, in itself, be a danger or a distraction toward getting better. I'll compare it to pot. People with PTSD and anxiety, etc can find great help with pot sometimes. Still, like any drug, misuse can do harm. I feel the same with religion. I don't encourage pot use or religion, but if it helps, I don't diss it.

Hiding your lack of faith at work

Beowulfsfriend comments on Feb 6, 2019:

In the late 80's I taught at a Catholic school. At the time I went to the Unitarian Society. Two of my kids call themselves Unitarian, non Christian, thinkers and one, my math Prof goes with atheist. Anyway, while there I had little trouble until my last year when they replaced the priest principal with a lay principal. The priest couldn't give a shit about any one's faith as long as they taught well. Now, I wouldn't go near a Catholic school as things are turning more to shit and evangelical. That's an irony. Other irony, in 87 my insurance from there paid for my vasectomy.
