Atheists and suicide

[libalchris]

I would never have the guts to commit suicide. I like living and I respect the everlasting nothingness of death enough to figure that it can wait until another day.

If anything my deconversion made me LESS likely to commit suicide. Really the only depressing thing brought about by my deconversion is that I WOULD some day die, which definitely isn't going to make me want to commit suicide, rather postpone by death as long as possible.

And while I definitely find it easy to see how an atheist could be more subject to depression and what not, for me personally I think I'm happier now than I've ever been! (then again, correlation doesn't always equal causation, but so far I've always managed to be positive in life.)
