And other things like bad relationships and divorce, alcohol and drug abuse, porn and masturbation instead of real relationships, etc.
Also, I don't subscribe to the notion that mental illness is always random. I've suffered from depression, and it was likely caused by poor life choices I made.
Quote:into a tu quoque towards people who are insulting towards your religion?
Into a counter example to someone who says that religion stunts mental growth.
I suffer from depression too so?
Do you assign your malady to the Satan Muslims claim screwing with your neurons causing your depression? No? GREAT, neither do I.
I don't see any cosmic battle between a super hero vs a super villain causing my depression. I simply see that as a natural event due to genes and environmental input.
I also don't assign my depression to Lex Luther or Darth Vader either. But please don't sit there and try to claim only theists know what it is like to go through hard things.
