Study: Religious believers more depressed than atheists

What's 'like a cult'? You have no idea what you're talking about.

You're going to sit here and deny that you're part of a religion/cult? Have you ever seen your posting history?

You reference the Bible as fully authentic historical source, including the parts that make reference to divine intervention, and you're going to say that you don't believe in a religion?

Sounds like that neo-Christian nonsense: "I don't believe in religion, I have a personal relationship with Jesus"

Again, explain what is 'like a cult', or kindly shut the fukk up.

You know exactly what a cult is. The only problem is that you don't think you belong to one (which is quite common for a cult member).

If I showed you Heaven's Gate or something of that sort, you would probably define it as cult.

Last time before I ignore you completely, WHAT CULT AM I APART OF?

Exactly like I thought, no answer.

1 Corinthians 8:2
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

Soon, all these nations will be bowing to us.

Religion makes you feel self conscious and guilty about things you should no business feeling that way about.

. Religious figures and the God delusion has convinced people that if they don't live by a set of rules they'll be condemned to eternal damnation by an imaginary deity. Why this isn't considered a mental disorder and delusion is beyond me.

During the famine of Ethiopia/Somalia Christian missionaries (white people) told the starving that they would give them food and water in exchange for their conversion to Christianity. That's straight up sociopath behavior.

Nah, religion is a tool, it's used to control people. Religious figures and the God delusion has convinced people that if they don't live by a set of rules they'll be condemned to eternal damnation by an imaginary deity. Why this isn't considered a mental disorder and delusion is beyond me.

I'm not an atheist..... for some reason I wouldn't have assumed u were one.


regardless, i agree w your statement... it's a tool.... but in general humans are easy to manipulate. Religions haven't only caused delusion and pain however. Actually religions haven't caused anything.

No it doesn't... your conscious does that.

When I was heavy into the Mosque... I was a triflin nikka. Everyone knows right from wrong.. Most people who go to church are just as moral as normal people, because.... they are normal people.

I'm not atheist, but I do notice some religious folks can have some underlying mental illness. Maybe religion attracts those types of folks, because no reasonable person would follow Bishop Eddie Long and Creflo Dollar.

How do you explain the billions of non religious people who follow random people til their death or believe in random other shyt that's not true? What about the millions of mentally ill atheist right here in America?

Some of what black churches do should be criminal as it is a lasting side affect of Tran Atlantic slavery, and those black men in the know - use that to gain millions.

Not sure what your issue here is. Knowing HL's history, that's probably what it will devolve into. But that won't stop my from posting data worth reading.

I'm sure you know that the study is flawed... I'm not going to even break it down like I normally do.

Atheist commit suicide at unseen rates.

Very hard to see someone who believes in God kill themselves (excluding Islam of course...)

There is no discussion of the actual article and it's just another religion vs. atheism thread. We have one of those already, or 5. This has to be nipped in the bud.
