I know in your world being able to back up claims is not required or even encouraged. Religion couldn't really exist otherwise. But around here, we more or less demand that you be able to back up any claims you make. If you're going claim that depression is more common in atheists, you'd better be able to bring the science Jethro. So bring the science. Or better yet, allow me.

Boom. Study shows religion does not enhance psychological well being.

As for the rest of your little manifesto, just fuck off you ignorant dolt.

I'm pitying you right now. locked up in your little cage, closed minded. in fact, my favorite argument is that your parents are the route cause of all your issues, seek christian therapy. you people are like snakes, you shed your skin and slither, and spew venom. GET HELP.

There's a little game I play, as a mod on a different forum where I have access to everyone's IP Address...

When someone turns up with an inspiring message like "Hey, hey, look at me everyone, I'm insane!", I play 'Guess the Location'.

My bet: United States, Virginia, in the Lynchburg area.

Probably exactly the same area as someone who was previously banned for insane spam.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Apparently trying for Poe of the Year. Can correctly spell "anti-theists" but misspelled "atheists."

Jaysus y'all are too easy.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

That's a tough question to answer, in some regards we're more intelligent. Although, why do some Atheists still have weddings or get married?
