You're not sure why everyone can't see the beautiful "pillow pictures" your brain generates? Or follow the precise ins and outs of shit you just make up as you go along?
That is not a good sign. Maybe you're starting to go insane, MK. 

Not saying it's the cause of your particular issue, but extreme academic pressure can fuck with your brain, big time. Seriously; I was once friends with a guy who began eating his own flesh, his first year of pre-med. You kind of remind me of him.

Good luck, man.

And it was after I had been doing a uni course for a few weeks that I attempted suicide.

It sounds more like you wish me to do bad. I am doing well, have A+ in all my courses for far except one elective which I have A.

I know you're an excellent student, MK. I wasn't speaking to performance; I was talking about pressure. I wish for you to be mindful/self-aware of changes in your thought patterns and/or behavior, is all. I'd hate to see a nice fellow like you descend into full-on nuttiness.

Your recent difficulties in expressing cohesive thoughts, and current uptick in nonsensical rambling makes me think that something may be wrong with you. Pardon me, if I was blunt and/or crass, in relaying that to you. I honestly do not wish you any ill will.

The arguments are valid. And the premises are beliefs you all held and still hold and will rely on. You believe in these things. And you do so while denying it which tells you ought to probably confirm it and come to terms with them.

God may seem frightening in the start, his majesty can make you shiver, but you get use to veil by veil, his beauty, and you will come to know him.

Have belief in Him who you see and know deep inside that he exists, and leave away the noise of the dark forces telling you to cling to a false idol that they made and whisper you that is the "I".

What if the premises are intuitive, but false?  I remember as a theist, reading a lot of CS Lewis, and the start of all his arguments would be something like "Can we all agree murder is wrong?"  To which the reader hastily replies "Obviously."   And then away he'd go, making a very sound argument based of that premise.  But the premise, I later realized, is nonsense.

But the reader goes along with the premise too quickly because that's what they've been taught.  They mistake their cultural norms for philosophical premises. 

The point being, people believing something to be true doesn't make it true.   

I think that's one of the reasons religion has stuck so well, is that there is a large group of cultural norms that people will accept as objective truths, or at least behave as if they were objective truths.  And if you can get someone to mistake them as objective truths, you can make a lot of solid arguments for a God.

I cant speak for everyone here, much less every atheist. I can say that most of us here DO NOT WISH you any harm and don't want to see you fail in your classes. We may think your religion is superfluous and not necessary to live your life, and we do hope someday you will see that. But again, I debate Christians and Jews and Hindus too and make the same arguments to them too. Humans only think they need a religion, but outside that, I think the better off education wise and economically more humans are, the less likely they are to be desperate on average.

Your success academically benefits society. But I would say your success is due to you, not a god.
