Atheism isn't about feeling superior to reality. Is about stay in touch with reality. Faith and religion is about superiority(you know the whole I am going to heaven but everyone else who don't agrees with me don't idea).

You can however feel superior to theist if you want. Since as an atheist(that I assume you are) are more logical and humble than them. Is not the kind of superiority that you were expecting but at least is something.

If, let's pretend, there were a portal right there in front of me right now that would lead me to a life of perfection and eternal joy and I had the choice to either go into that portal or instead remain here on Earth and suffer with depression and such and help other people, I would go into that portal. Now before you think negative of me and such, I would actually take care of this situation of other people not being helped by having someone take my place to help others and make up for the help I chose not to offer. Then after I have chosen someone, I would then enter the portal and leave this world.

If you still think negative of me and such, I am going to clearly prove you wrong. First off, this is a "two birds with one stone situation" in which I have not only taken care of the situation in which other people have not been helped by me, but I also have given myself a life of perfection and eternal joy as well. Second, for you to still think negative of me would mean that you think that having this burden placed on someone else in helping others is more important than my own emotional well-being (my pleasure and such). This is obviously wrong and my emotional well-being is far more important than some extremely minor inconvenience in comparison in which this person would have to make up for the help I did not offer others.

Also, life has no meaning and is whatever meaning you give it. So whatever meaning I give myself such as that my happiness is the most important thing more important than anything in the world and I am all great, etc., then this would be something true (only for me).

Now being alive is superior to being dead as long as you have pleasure. So if I am emotionally alive (have all the pleasure in the world), then that makes me superior and a better person than if I were to be depressed and numb (emotionally dead) regardless of who I am, what attitude I have, and how much I help others. Even if I were a psychopath and killed many people, as long as I have all the pleasure in the world, that would make me a far better and superior person than if I were someone who is depressed and emotionally numb and helped and cared for other people. Pleasure is the absolute and defining life force of "living" and a living thing that makes you better and superior (as I know just how good of a experience pleasure is and how much it makes life worth living and is the only thing to me that makes life worth living). Without it, you are nothing regardless of how much you help others and such. So even if I didn't choose to have someone take my place in helping others before I went into that portal, I would still be the better person for choosing to have all the pleasure in the world and living a life of self-empowerment, perfection, and eternal joy.

If someone were to try to prevent me from entering that portal, even if they were innocent, I would become a psychopath and ruthlessly kill this person for not having any value towards my own emotional well-being and instead choosing to view helping others as far more important and devaluing my own emotional well-being for this sake (when I clearly know that my own emotional well-being is far more important in this case, especially since I have chosen to have someone take my place in helping others). This is another reason why I feel empowered by watching anime and feeling empowered from characters in anime who are ruthless and have a sense of self-empowerment and such. So in killing this person trying to prevent me from entering that portal, I would of felt awesome just like these ruthless characters.

Finally, if I had the choice to either be retarded and have all the pleasure in the world and give the person the burden of having to take care of me or to be intelligent and have no pleasure and not give a person this burden, I would not only choose to be retarded for all of my reasons given here, but also because this person (especially if it were my own family) should value my own emotional well-being in which they would be devastated knowing the fact that I am living a life of no pleasure despite the fact that I am intelligent and such. And that it would be far better for them to have the burden of taking care of me if I were retarded because, even though they would have this burden and perhaps a hard life resulting from it, they would at least know that I am happy and that would make them feel happy and at peace as opposed to them being devastated if I were intelligent and such with no pleasure.

I wish to feel superior to reality by embracing fantasy and feeling empowered by fantasy as well as through the delusion that there is a God and an afterlife. But my intelligence (atheism) has prevented me from being this person I want to be. Which is why I hate such intelligence and view fantasy and feelings of pleasure as superior. All that matters in life to me is embracing feelings of pleasure from god-like fantasy which would make me a mystical god-like being who is superior to reality (so to speak, not literally speaking). So all that matters to me is being a superior god-like being in a sense and ending all things inferior in my life. To me, struggles in life, depression, and the fact that there is no God or afterlife are all inferior things to me and must die. So by believing in a God and an afterlife, I would have "killed" this inferior concept of there being no God and afterlife in a sense (including any feelings of depression as well). Feeling empowered and that I'm all great is the only thing that matters to me in life (not in comparison to other people, but in comparison to myself and reality itself).

If you're looking to escape through fantasy, expand your mind in the process by reading the great literature of history... or choose to wall off the better parts of life and dive right into that garbage heap that often passes for wisdom and comfort: religion.

Although when I have feelings of empowerment and such which are all derived from anime (because I always think of the characters, music, environments, etc. and feel empowered by these things even in my normal daily life) the cause of my reasonings in my posts here and such might not be from just simply anime and just might simply be my own attitude and thinking and/or my own attitude and perceptions that I chose to gain from anime. But I do know that there are many characters in anime that have a sense of superiority and power and seek god-like powers and enlightenment and such and I am inspired by this.

Right. In those anime the characters are faced with their reality. The reality that you have the pleasure of viewing on your computer screen or tv. These characters end up becoming masters of their reality through hard work and dedication like Edward Elrich in Full Metal Alchemist. If Naruto's never say die attitude inspires you then why not adopt it into your reality. Do something in this reality that will earn you the respect you see your favourite anime characters command. Let their stories be the force that drives you to achieve your own success.

Exactly my idea. I identified with the character Naruto because once I suffered bullying and everybody though of me as a failure. Years later, I'm a successful college students with good results, I earn my own money and I have a beautiful girlfriend and awesome friends. I didn't have anyone to help me out, except my mom, and I didn't fail because of that.

Oh, I don't have that sort of time any more ... that's just what my favorite character was. He ended up hiring a band of hobbits, taking over a ship, and taking up piracy for a while before assuming the head of the Thief's Guild and running the seaport behind the scenes ... for a fee.
