If you're an Atheist, what comforts you?

That is a rude statement Rob.
All I did was to reply to VL.

Eventually you should have told VL to avoid asking me this type of questions.
Clearly is not your day.
Better go back to rest.  

That's not a rude statement.

"Go fuck yourself, you self righteous piece of shit!" Is a rude statement.

Oh, I see.............

Backing your little mates at all cost regardless whether they are right or wrong........

Sure.....that is how moral decay creeps in........

Seen that before darl.

That’s not true though, is it. You randomly inserted stuff about god and meditation into this discussion. After that, you replied to VL replying to you.

I’m not going to derail this by replying to you anymore. I don’t think it’s rude to ask people not to themselves be rude by inserting their agendas into things that don’t concern them, especially when someone is asking for help.

Are you saying that your help really help while mine does not?
Where is the evidence of this?

Beside who started talking about meditation in this thread?
Not me Rob so once someone started and say things that may not be true is obvious that other people have the right to intervene.
You seem to live in a cocoon of fantasy Rob.

Rik:  I can't help getting the feeling that you're proselytizing, rather than expressing genuine surprise at the unexpected agreement on meditation.  But on the off chance that it's the latter, the reason is pretty simple.  People who do meditation tend to find it helpful, pleasant, relaxing, or so on.  (If they don't, they usually don't keep doing it.)  You might think that your god is involved, while someone else might just think that meditation simply helps us order our minds and brings us calm and clarity in that manner.  It's not the effect of meditation which is the point of disagreement, but rather to what we attribute that effect.  In any case, given the seriousness and personal necessity that the original post implies, it might be better to move the topic to a new thread so that the OP can be responded to without distractions.

There are different stages in meditation.
As you rightly say meditation lead to a nice feeling of peace and relaxation within but that is the first stage.
After that it lead to different stage of awareness and the final stage is something very very different from what atheists think but this is something that you guys will find out one day.
What make me intervene in this thread is not to proselytizing but rather to clear the wrong idea that meditation is all about relaxation and a bit of nice feeling.
