The connection between Christianity and Capitalism

That article talks about atheists being surrounded with religious people who are bullying them and therefore being prone to suicide. I mean even on this forum we saw that some atheists can't admit the truth to their surroundings and have to pretend to believe in god, participate in rituals and other bullshit.
Also your argument is the same as Christians do for gays that homosexuality is making you kill yourself while gays are prone to suicide because religious people are bullying them.
Otherwise there is nothing in the atheism itself or in homosexuality that makes people want to kill them selves.

Look it this way: the happiest nations in the world are those where people are least religious, like Scandinavia, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland.
And yet the least-happy nations on earth are highly religious societies with virtually no atheists, like Congo, Zimbabwe, and Burundi.

I can pull up plenty of posts of people that are deeply depressed or have contemplated suicide, but you're just going to have to take my word on this one, because if you insist on proof, anything I post is on YOU.

Yeah. Don't do that, man. If you post something on here, that's on YOU. You are responsible for your own posts, not FM.

Did it ever occur to you that some people come here for support in their darkest hour? People do that on Christian forums, too, don't they? There's nothing wrong with that.

And you've had to have frequented Christian forums before, Huggy. There are some real loons out there. Somebody posted some shit from facebook not too long ago where this guy's FB username was "Eradicate all Atheists. Bring back God." Say what you will about depressed atheists, but we don't have anything resembling a fuckjob like that! For every depressed atheist contemplating suicide, I can show ten "upright theists" contemplating homicide.

What about the trolls who create accounts here and spew their insane gospel in all caps? What the fuck is wrong with them? Does Christianity make them do that?

I think the takeaway here is that you can't make sweeping judgements about an entire worldview just because you can demonstrate that some of its adherents have personal problems. That is the essence of the ad hominem fallacy and it proves absolutely nothing.

Tee hee, I can't resist.



Maybe we can agree it's small 'c' communism instead of the big 'C' kind.

Why so selective about what you quote from your Wiki articles, Huggy?

Because it is OK to lie for jesus.

No, I don't want you to copy and paste the entire articles. But you could be a little more responsible about how you quote from them.

But I forgot who I'm writing to.

A person has to be dealing with an awfully fucked up life to think it's pointless, afterlife or no afterlife.  I find it odd that believing people see so little value in this life, apart from some promise of another from god....what with this life having been created by god in the first place, in their estimation.  

Ungrateful shits, lol.
