I think believers don't ask for evidence because crazy people like in those videos exist in different stages of craziness right among us.

I'm not advocating religion. Its just a trump card believers like to use by saying "world is miserable because of the unbelief. I was too before meeting God".

And why would I want to get that on my shoes?

Believers look crazy with their souls and immortality, but when I see the miserable state of brave, free and strong men like in those videos, I can understand why believers are in religion.

So, they wouldn't be brave, free and strong men if they weren't in religion?

That's a f hard questions - "Religious depression of being told you are a Gods slave who should earn not being sent to hell. Or hold on to the free will till the end, even if you are rotting mentally at the moment".
I can't answer it. This is one of those questions I regret bringing up, depressing stuff.

Sounds like a wimp to me. If you need to cling to a God to stay strong, you are not strong. I mean, there's nothing wrong with believing in God while being a strong person, but if you are strong because of God, you are not strong.

Purple...you have a more religious appraisal of religion than the religious. Assume...for a moment, that the world looks and seems very different to you than it does to the religious -or- the irreligious.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
