Theists and even atheists like me do drink, do smoke, no I don't do illegal drugs. I don't exercise. Shell I am sure you live a far healthier life than I do for sure. But lets not make it about that for them.
I am sure my smoking won't help. But theists smoke and drink too, my point would be there is no magic to any human behavior. No cosmic sky hero is causing me to drink or smoke. There is no devil or Satan causing me to drink or smoke.
I am glad you are happy with your life Shell, but lets not give theists that fuel. My life isn't perfect no, but I aslo have no felony records, and I don't drink and drive, and I don't smoke around people who don't smoke, even in my own vehicle.
Theists love to point at our success and call it selfish, then when they cant do that, they point at our shortfalls and call it sin. Point is, it does not matter to them, there is always a magical super hero explaining everything humans do, to them.
Alpha simply cant stand that you don't buy his hero, living the way you do, and cant stand that I don't buy his hero, living the way I do.
I can say I am not unhappy either Shell. Perfect? No, but hardly unhappy.
I don't think you and I are talking about the same thing. What I said had nothing to do with theism or atheism.

While there are instances of mental illness which are purely or mostly due to genetics or environmental effects completely outside one's control, personal choices frequently play a significant role.
So, you said that to someone else before we had the start of our conversation. I see.
