Well, ish. If you get really sad for a few days when your cat dies, you're not depressive. If you're still really sad about your cat dying and it makes it hard to get out of bed and work, a year later, you're disordered.
If you consume human flesh in a society of cannibals, you're not disordered. If you consume human flesh in our society, you're a catholic.
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!

Arrogance is not an attractive quality, even when justified. In your case it's just sad.

Idk, because you seem to know whatever you're talking about even when no one else does? You're obviously next level something.

No, it's because the level is quite low here.

Because you suffer from delusions of adequacy and need to come to an atheist site to prove to yourself that your delusion is real and to reinforce your delicate ego?

Looking at the forum I'd say y'all seriously lack belief in God but that would be just an illusion.
