Atheists and depression

@muir

Have you somehow missed all the arguments that have been happening here lately?

God is pretty well defined! There might be several versions of it sure but many are quite well defined to the point where people are telling you what God thinks about and does.

That's very much being defined. That doesn't make it true, but it does make it defined.

Oh you mean the christianity discussions?

So being an atheist is about telling christians that they are talking out of their buttholes?

But which christians are talking out of their buttholes because all i saw was a bunch of people dissagreeing?

Well yeah that's what it's all about. It's no different than you telling me I can't see the forest for the trees and me not believing you. Remember that?

How do I know you're not a figment of my imagination? Do you remember asking me that question? Who was I not believing if I don't even know that you're really somebody?

Actually no, that's not you. Other people fill that role, what you nag me about is different.

Mmm yeah I don't feel there is such a thing. But maybe that's just the punchline.

Why should I care about it then? I have other figments that I can make come and go as I please and change to my will, so they don't even really matter. How is this any different?

Even a chaote knows contrast and by recognising a 'difference' dances the dance

I like how your avatar changes from happy face to angry face

What does a chaote have to do with me? Do you think I am one? Who gave you that idea?

I have personally found that religious people are depressed when not attempt ing to justify thelselves in regard to their own beliefs.

This is a silly answer simply because one can answer the same, likewise atheists are depressed when can not justify themselfs with regard to their own beliefs. We can just go on and on if you want on this line.

AND, I have another argument. Atheism means ultimately the anihilation of any authority, of any higher power. In athesim one doesn't have to give a account to somebody, or to anything. Thus athesim is very convenient exactly for people who don't need to justify anything, who make the impression they can mock anything...aka: people that have a childish thinking.
Thus, in answering to your supposed "strong" argument or answer, yes, it is true that atheism don't seek to justify their beliefs...and neither they want to, because atheists are somehow big childrens. They finaly found their way out of a life of responsabilities and "justifying" anything. They are into their own fortress, and they are the king of it. At least so they think...
 
Just curious: What's the difference between doing whatever you want because you don't believe in God vs doing what you want because you believe in a God that will forgive you for anything you have done, no matter how terrible?

The idea that somehow people are better off with religion is not only laughable, its outright dangerous.

I'm amazed that you got two thumbs for this non-sense.

It has been argumented that even if religion is false and entirely not true, people are indeed better with religion. Even if religion would be sold to people as a lie, it would be better for people to have a kind of religion. This is because religion brings order and meaning...while atheism leads to chaos and non-sense, because atheism is chaos and non-sense...the story of how chaos emerged to another chaos.
Now I make "even if" case here...but what if religion is actualy true?
