I have heard several Christian apologists really harp on the fact that Madalyn Murray O'Hair suffered from depression. But guess what... lots of people do regardless of their beliefs. Christians can claim that only they have the solution to "the meaning of life," but that is really meaningless when there is no correlation whatsoever between faith, belief, and happiness. I had a Christian roommate who would almost be in tears, always talking about how the world was so horrible and how he just didn't understand why Jesus hadn't yet come back to destroy (ahem: fix) it all.

And they claim to have found meaning? The only meaning in their lives, ironically, is in their deaths.

So says the old cliche: everyone dies; not everyone lives.
