While it is obvious that you, chas, and cthulhu have had run-ins before with MusiclovingAtheist, to anyone who is reading just this thread, you guys are acting like people with a serious PMS problem. He didn't call any of you out on this thread and he's going through a rough time sorting things out for himself. I do not consider the post to be a "dump" on the forum. I want people to see that my humanity has not been affected by my loss of imaginary gods.

Please keep your comments relevant to the current thread.

Please mind your business.

Really, why should I not make that comment? Why was my comment not my "business."

Self-flagellation, is it? Thinking

Are you incapable of taking responsibility for your own life? I can use english to ask this question, and I feel alright about it.

Now, if you were incapable of taking responsibility for your own life (say, property of another), I would instead beseech your "guardian" (who is responsible for your life). If you cannot take responsibility for your own life, and nobody else has risen to the burden of owning your life: there are two primary options. Both involve crimes, one will get you sent to prison, where the state/prison corporation will take responsibility for your life... and the other will get you sent to the morgue, if you leave them a body to find.

...

So, how's the weather? Levitate
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

When older people hear you complain about these things, and say things like "I know," or "I understand, " it's because they do. Most of us have been through some trying times of one form or another, and we have gotten through them. No one can "fix" those issues but you. No amount of advice will make your life better. No amount of complaining will make your life better. If a problem can be solved, complaining about it won't help. If a problem can't be solved, complaining about it won't help. Sometimes, we just have to survive, and then move on.

Seriously, I had depression twice and most likely things will get better. Do the best you can and don't worry that much about things you can't control

OP how will you justify procreation in absence of God in this horrible world?

How do cockroaches reproduce? Is there a god cockroaches pray to?

I am sorry evolution isn't as sexy as Superman vs Lex Luther, but it is fact and no god ever claimed in human history is needed to explain the fact of evolution.

Instead of chalking up the horrible things in life to fictional boogiemen, accept them as an unfortunate ratio of reality, study them then figure out how to reduce those horrible things without superstition or fictional gods.
