Vag, let me just say that I applaud you fo eagerness to explore yourself. It's something a lot of people avoid because it takes work. Most of the people on this forum are veterans of self-exploration, as well as explorers of history, philosophy, theology, and all things known to man. I think that your initial approach was pretty much tactless. If you are really willing to be open and explore ideas of which you perhaps have no knowledge, you will take 10 minutes and really pay attention to this:

Perhaps coming here and making your pessimistic proclamations about your personal philosophies, and seemingly expecting us to be blown away and not question what you're telling us was not the most open minded thing to do. Then to accuse us of being deluded, closed minded, etc... I think you were a little deluded in the first place to think an atheist forum, which is bound to be full to the brim with skeptics, would be willing to dismiss their own knowledge and logic and just agree with your every word.
We make these mistakes sometimes, and it's okay for you to believe what you want to believe, but if you share those beliefs with others, you have to expect to be challenged.
