My Loss of faith has caused severe depression

RE: My Loss of faith has caused severe depression
Quote:I don't know why exactly I became a Sikh. All I know is that it made me feel truly happy.

Maybe before religion, there was nothing to interest or distract You. When I was a christian, I was irrationally secure by being able to fit in with the community. You can be happy with other people regardless of the rules that dictate or try to dictate your life, just look to other people. Minus the trolls, of course.

Quote:But now my world-view is dim and pessimistic. There is no objective morality in the atheist universe. There is no such thing as goodness. It has no inherent value. Human nature appears increasingly dark and selfish to me. Our lives have no meaning. Everything is chaos.

The thing is, objective morality is decided by other people. You have to determine yourself if the objective morality is righteous by questioning it.

Goodness differs by the person You ask. I suggest that video games are not good but fun. Anti-video game lobbyists like PETA vs. Pokemon suggest that (especially violent) video games are evil.

We all value anything differently.

Human nature is dark but holds potential to improve over time.

Life has no meaning because life is not defined. Even the stillest of metals are made of atoms that actively volley left and right through our space-time.

Everything is unknown but We can still find patterns.

Well wishes to You.
Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die, and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
