feeling depressed after becoming atheist

[Napoléon]

Cheer up.

Single most brilliant post I've ever seen you make Min.

Hitler died a coward's death in a bunker with the enemy closing in, an undignified and broken man. He is and will be remembered for all time as a disgusting excuse for a human being. I hardly think he "got away with it."

As I pointed out, he lived a quite entertaining and extraordinary life. He was essentially King of country and could have whatever he pleased. We all die eventually, and he lived a reasonably long life and didn't get 10000000000th of what he deserved. And certainly if you won't accept this example there are others.

I am in shock reading this. I really shouldn't entertain your silly arguments anymore, because they are completely off base.

finalyawake, a tentative suggestion, you may want to tell us why you are depressed.
i was not realy depressed i think i over exaggerated was just feeling a little blue its realy quite normal i am realy fine. plus i am acualy happy at the perks i got because i am atheist for example i dont have to embarrasse my self and ask whats in the food when i eat it or read the ingredients i can drink wine and listen to music so acualy i feel free and i dont feel that their are enimies in this world exept for religion soo yeah i am acualy quite happy now

How is the atheism and depressed connected?

I'll kudos that on the assumption it was a rhetorical question, even though it probably wasn't. Ho-hum nevermind. >.>

How so? If there is an afterlife he is in hell. If not, you will probably have led a more boring and less pleasure filled life and certainly you will both end your lives at the grave. My point is not that this shows that God exists. My point is that I can understand why one would be depressed after becoming an atheist because of it.

Oh, was that your point? Because it sounded like you were making a sweeping statement that you thought no-one could refute. It had little to do with the point that was being made.

Like someone already said. Cheer up I'm not sure how taking God out of the equation makes life any less amazing. With or without a god existence is just as impossible and infinite as it always has been. I myself am glad to be a part of that impossibility.

I see no way your statement has anything to do with what BrotherMagnet said. He's talking about a state of existence. You're talking about punishment of dictators. How do you equate the two?

And another thing, where do you get off comparing my life to Hitler's? So what, if there's no god I'm supposed to envy the material and wealth he possessed in his life? I do not believe he is burning in eternity, but in the end he was not a happy man. This is such an irrelevant argument but you're just being that completely ridiculous.

Well you telling us you feel all better now has effectively killed the discussion before it started.

Advice: Please talk to your GP in future if you suffer from these sudden bouts of depression.

And someone knock that idiot Jeff off his soapbox.

I find it rather funny and interesting how people fear so much the end of their existence that they'll hold on to the biggest lies and pretend that they're true just to feel comfortable. Just because you want something to be true won't make it true. Either there is an afterlife or there isn't.
Like it or hide under your bed covers.
