-Lying about having ever been an atheist to grind a common theist's axe......
or
-Mis-attributing their own depressive personalities effect as a consequence of atheism, somehow, in direct opposition to there being, well -none of that- in my lifelong atheists experience.
Perhaps they should at least entertain the notion that something is "wrong" with -them-...before they babble endlessly about there being something wrong with atheism? That's probably too much introspection and critical assessment to ask from a person who believes that the entire universe was created for them...and only has meaning in the context of their own personal comfort-seeking fantasies, though..isn't it?
I've been depressed for quite some time, but ever since I dropped Catholicism I haven't had a serious suicidal thought. Somehow the idea of death is much more frightening to me knowing how final it actually is.
