If that belief also makes us a good person, then again there is nothing wrong in that, I hear all the time atheist who are miserable and even afraid of death, this is because they have missed the boat, they have thrown the baby out with the bathwater, their lives are dry, no poetry, no mystery about the world, just knowledge that they worship.
Do people that voluntarily come on this forum not understand that it is set up to debate? Debates might get heated but no one is forced to take part.
In my off line life, I rarely discuss religion with others except to encourage them to take more a more progressive view such as accepting evolution.
Being religious is the default position in many places. That means that when religious people try to convert someone to their way of thinking or go unasked into foreign countries no one wonders why the theist don't leave those people in peace. When atheist do the same thing, apparently even on an atheist forum, they are being jerks.
Depression is a chemical imbalance of the brain. One of my father-in-law's family members committed suicide and she was religious. Several of my family treated their depression with alcohol. They are all religious southern Baptist but they couldn't pray away their disease. My son is in therapy for depression. We admit he has a problem and so he is getting help With or without religion, he would have issues
No of this addresses how Christians can prove their god is good.
