I'm not quite sure that religion is going to help me there though, since it was part of what fucked me. I also don't accept that the a day of judgement is anything that I have to look forward to. Several religions claim that I would be treated poorly by that judgement simply because of who I am, so I wouldn't want that to be true anyway. That's actually a major part of what made my early life so miserable.
Seeing this again doesn't make it look any brighter to me. Life certainly sucks, but I've found other things that have put a smile on my face. Everything behind me looks dark, so I'm going to keep moving forward instead. Otherwise I'm afraid I'll have that knife against my wrist again (please don't drop the pity on me, everyone. I'm well over it because of my life choices).
I can tell OP is an amalgam of sheer stupidity and repackaged statements about nothing at all, and I haven't even read two words of it.
It's just not worth responding to, IMO. But I hope you're ok.
Hey now, don't worry about me. Life may suck in several ways, but I'm not slipping off that cliff anymore. What's important is to find ways to make this life better for ourselves instead of waiting for it to be over. I doubled down on that after I realized that I had no reason to believe in an afterlife. Life seems more precious when it's the only one I have.
As for the OP, I'm actually fine chatting with him. I see this as a chance to share life experiences. I've seen a lot of theists just dump their claims and call us idiots for not agreeing. There's a chance for a conversation here that won't necessarily lead to the same absurdities. If I'm wrong, I can double down on that as well.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
