Well, no wonder studies show Religious Belief and Depression are inversely related, while Depression sadly seems to be rather high among Atheists. I guess it's logical: If we're all going to die and there's nothing to hope for, well, what else would such a belief lead to? Let me tell you what's going to happen instead: After the Gospel is preached in every nation and to every last tribe, as Christ said it would be in Mat 24 and elsewhere, then Anti-Christ, a Fake Messiah, will appear, claiming to be the True Messiah, which Jesus Christ was. Now, after this Anti-Christ, for 3.5 years, deceives many, and causes the greatest persecution ever, then Jesus Christ will establish His Messianic Kingdom of Peace for 1000 years, as is spoken of in Revelation 20. During this time, the Animal Creation will also be ransomed and restored, as is spoken of in the Prophet Isaiah; the wolf will live with the lamb, and all will be well. An All-Powerful God will gloriously intervene in Creation so as to bring this about.
Here is Revelation 20:
"4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years."
The Bible begins with the Creation of the Universe, and it ends with the end of the present world, and the Beginning of the New Heavens and Earth, a renewed Creation, a restored Universe. All this is only possible after all or most accept the Gospel and begin to live in Love and Peace.
Here is Isaiah 11:6: "The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them."
It strikes me that beyond all the evidential reasons to believe in God and the Gospel, this is a practical one: atheism leads to nihilism and hopelessness, in the long run at least, because of what it predicts will ultimately happen. But Christianity to confidence, peace and happiness, because of what it predicts will ultimately happen. We will see how things come to pass, but Christianity gives us something to look forward to.
Once again you've overlooked perfectly valid possibilities. Atheism need not lead to nihilism and hopelessness, though some may interpret it that way. You repeatedly show that you lack the imagination necessary and are repeatedly falling back into arguments from ignorance based upon your falsely restricted set of options.
