Atheism Plus would never have been seen as necessary, if good people would have spoken up, in large enough numbers, in favor of civil rights and civility. All it takes for evil to succeed is for the good people to remain silent. 

I'm getting out of everything: QUILTBAG rights, civil rights, humanism, feminism, atheist/secular/skeptical/freethinking activism, all of it. 

My health is bad. I'm alone. Nobody has my back. I won't make myself unnecessarily vulnerable to attack. 

It's not safe enough and no protections have been constructed to protect any of us from really dangerous people. The in fighting, fear, suspicion, hostility, abusiveness, threats are completely unnecessary, psychologically exhausting and quite terrifying.

And, while you're all at each others' throats, the theocrats, the corporate lobbyists, the for-profit prisons, the military industrial complex, the reactionaries are just laughing, all the way to the bank.

I've lived in deprivation, danger, hostility, filth, pain and terror for most of my life.

I want to die in peace.
