“To be sure, it's very hard to be an atheist,”
No, it’s pretty smooth sailing. Like, when PETA makes wild and crazy claims, it pretty much reinforces meat eating? Every time believers spout off whack bullshit, it’s comforting to be an atheist.
"especially in the modern world, which may explain why so many atheists apparently have various forms of neuroses”
I just started to wonder if i was maybe clinically depressed. Took some tests, arranging to see a therapist, shared this information with friends and coworkers.
Y’all have a hard time doing that. You’re certain all you need is Jesus, and all those around you would judge you for seeking any help but Jesus. If we have more mental problems, it’s because we’re FAR more likely to admit to it than you are.
"the denial and constant need for suppression of reality simply runs too deep and eventually takes a toll,”
This is the bullshit i was talking about. Thanks.
“ which logically leads to psychological problems.”
Please show the logic, then?
“ For example, in his seminal work, Tractatus Logico-Theologicus, the eminent scholar Dr. John Warwick Montgomery points out a truism: "Psychologists such as Paul Vitz (Faith of the Fatherless) have persuasively argued that God-denial is a psychological aberration,”
WHen he says ‘persuasive,’ he means it dovetails nicely with his preconceptions about God, Atheists, and Mental Health, right?
How’d he stand up to more objective analysis?
“explicable by the unfortunate experiences of the atheists holding that viewpoint”
That’s not what explicable means.
‘Demonstrated’ might be a better word, if there’s anything at all to it.
