My Loss of faith has caused severe depression

Then work to change that by surrounding yourself with "bright" optimistic people - engage in "bright" and optimistic activities.

Quote:There is no objective morality in the atheist universe.
There may be none in yours, but this wouldn't be due to atheism. Go find some objective morality somewhere if you need it.

Quote:There is no such thing as goodness.
Again, while there may be none in your life - it's difficult to imagine how atheism is the culprit here. Go out and find some bud.

Quote: It has no inherent value.
Should it? Must it? Are you incapable of assigning life value?

Quote:Human nature appears increasingly dark and selfish to me.
Welcome to reality - you know..these increasingly dark and selfish natures were there when you were a sikh as well...somehow I doubt that -your- loss of faith has changed -them-.

Quote:Our lives have no meaning.
Everything is chaos.
Go find some.

Quote:I am on the brink. Please help
At the risk of sounding like a broken record...and I mean this earnestly....go find some help man. This forum probably isn't the kind of place where you're gonna find help to bring you back from any "brink".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
