Well, life CAN be a fucker, but you gotta work past the problems. You know, actually take control of your life, instead of leaving everything up to the invisible man.

Bull-fucking-shit!
Atheism says or does no such thing, it's only an expression informing you that I have no belief in gods.
If you are depressed, it is for some completely different reasons. Atheism in itself has nothing to do with whether you feel depressed or not. But in any case, seek some help for your depression.

I fail to see how the absence of a belief in Jehovah either enhances or harms the manner in which I choose to live my life.
I'm not an atheist. I find Christianity much more depressing. I'd rather know for certain that death was the end and there was no afterlife than spend my life and eternity worshipping some irrational, psychopathic, murderous, misogynistic dickwad of a god.
it's not our fault reality scares you. atheism isn't depressing, unless you're incapable of functioning without a security blanket.
besides, what's worse: being fucked for life, or being fucked for all eternity?
"Atheistism??"
*collapses to the floor in a fit of giggles*
*ahem*
*whew*
Anyway.. if it weren't "so damned depressing," you'd drop your faith and become an atheist? Great! I'm an atheist, and I'm far from depressed about my existence! Welcome to the club, friend!
:-D
It's not at all depressing to think that just because you exist, you are a miserable sinner deserving eternal torment and that you are so miserable a sinner that not even God
Almighty can forgive you without temporarily sacrificing Himself to Himself. Of course, the least depressing thing ever is to imagine that Calvinism is true but that you're not among the elect.
Nope. That would be you're fucked.
Your. You're. Yore. Yaw.
There. Their. They're.
How hard can it be? WTF do most people DO during their twelve years of compulsory education?
As far as I know you are the people that say that we are infinitely fucked and doomed to burn in an infinite lake of infinite firey pain for eternity unless we kiss the ass of an immortal dictator.
If atheism says we are fucked, it only says we are fucked for a finite time, then we die and we don't exist to be fucked anymore.
And atheism doesn't say that we are fucked, at least not in my book.
I WISH I was fucked, quite often really, though I realize that's very risky and partake in masturbation as an alternative, you know something perfectly sane.
Christianity:
Your born of sin, and carry it forever. God hates you for sinning, forever.
If you don't fall on your face and worship God, he sends you to Hell.
Hell is eternal punishment for finite sins, that you had no choice in since you were born to it.
Jesus comes and says you're all freed cuz I die for your sins.
Yet we can all still go to Hell because God still hates us.
But He loves you.
Who is fucked again?
The problem with "Atheistism" is that it doesn't exist.
Atheism, I think, says that shit happens no matter what you pray to, so either roll with the punches, make the best of it, or rewrite it till it fits.
...Or something.
It's better than, "Oh, my god will save me even though I'm a child-raping mass-murderer, all because I *believe*!"
Um, no. Actually, Christianity is the one that teaches to be happy with your lot in life, regardless of what it is. Don't rebel against your leaders, because God appointed them. It'll all work out in the end. Unless, of course, you happen to not worship the Christian god. Then you get fucked for eternity.
Compare this with atheism. This is the only life you get. You and you alone are 100% responsible for what you do with it. You want to be happy? Seek happiness. You want to be successful? Seek success. There's no guarantee that you'll receive it, but neither is there a false guarantee that if you pray really, really hard then God might, maybe, improve your lot. If it's his will, of course.
Hey, don't knock my atheistism! There's nothing more fulfilling than being an atheistist.
And I should know, there's no-one more atheistist than me! I'm the atheististest!
It's true, I was voted atheististest atheistist at the big convention for the elite of atheistism back in November, you know... Atheististestfest.
Atheism isn't about consolation happiness, no. And any of my fellow non-religious people who pretend it is are stretching.
No atheism is about the truth, that there is absolutely no sane reason to belief in supernatural things, and that whenever these are put to the test they ALWAYS have failed under the eye of science and reason.
Atheism isn't about going to happyfuzzycandyland after you die, but that's not the point. The point is getting rid of the fairytale crap the rest of you ass-monkeys oppress, maim and kill for.
Not that atheist's are unhappy of course. But atheism isn't a happy joy fuzziness where humans are special creatures who deserve fluffy clouds after they die and can play foreveer and ever. Its about dismissing all the bullshit.
Atheism pretty much assumes when you die, you're gone for good. Which is actually pretty comforting to me. YOUR belief, on the other hand, says that most of the people who ever lived will spend ETERNITY burning in a lake of fire, while your god looks on and laughs. I think yours is the depressing one. And also, if you need to live your life with the hope that you're gonna party with a magical ghost daddy forever, in a place of no pain or sorrow, then you're one weak-minded mother fucker.
atheism:
There is an end.
judeo-christian-islam-cult:
There is only lord praising for all eternity. <- well, THATS depressing!
Actually, one of the reasons I'm iffy towards Christianity is because it depressed me. "Invisible Sky man is infinitely perfect, and you infinitely fail, so on your knees, bitch!"
David B.@ Thanks for making me laugh.
@ Rubyfruit ,
You reminded me of the "Religions of the world" T-shirt:
Taoism : Shit happens.
Hare Krishna : Shit happens rama rama ding ding
Zen : What is the sound of shit happening?
JW : Knock knock, shit happens.
Atheism : No shit.
Rastafarian : Let's smoke some shit, mon!
"Basically says,your fucked so get used to it."
Not so fast.
Some scientists are researching ways to stop aging right now. Most of the problems related to aging are related to shrinking telemeres in the cells. When they go away the cells just die and stop dividing. Telemerase can prevent the telomeres from shrinking and allow cells to divide forever.
The only problem is that too much telemerase is also implicated in cancer. In fact inhibiting telemerase in selected sites is being researched as a possible cancer treatment. Still if it can be done selectively then the entire body could always have telemerase treatment except selected spots when a tumor starts and with research into nanotechnology it could be possible to immediately detect and respond to tumors.
Then there's Christianity, where you're a lowly sinner that's damned to hell, unless you follow God's poorly-written and contradictory instructions [to the letter].
Don't forget--Jesus loves you.
Doesn't the bible accuse us of saying "eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die?"
Make up your minds, we're either nothing but a bunch of gay whoring partyhounds, or we're borderline suicidal.
atheist = person who conciously rejects or lacks a belief in a deity
atheism = the lack of belief in a deity
atheistism = not a real world.
btw, spaces should be inserted between commas and the following word. This, is correct. This,isnt.
Well, most people would deny a harsh truth, hence religion. I do not. Yup, we're all fucked, but to different degrees. The not so fucked should help the royally fucked.
Or in other (more sensible )words:
Religions are bullshit, scams, get used to reality:
You will die, make the most of this life
You have no proof or gaurentee or even a fact to support an afterlife
You have no church in existance that has ever proven their story and they all have weak, rewritten, borrowed, adapted and changed stories, proving them all wrong at go.
Basically Atheism gets rid of the afterlife promise, as it's nonsense and allows it's members to cincentrate on what counts, YOUR FUCKING LIFE, here and now.
And it's not depressing, worshipping at Jesus's feet for eternity is depressing. You people are just pissed that Atheists aren't depressed about dying as much as you are.
We accept it and don't think any pleading will forstall it or change it. Color me prepared for the end at least mentally. You're the ones with doubt when it comes down to the end, damn near ironic.
Confused?
