Zone1 Is Atheism Depressing?

There's no such thing as "atheism", at least in modern America. People who call themselves atheists are uniformly just Christophobes. Their entire identity revolves around hating Christianity and Christians. Atheism has no dogma, no laws, no history, and no scholarly works. It's just a hate group for bigots who hate Christians.

You'll NEVER see an American "atheist" say a single bad word about Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.
Of course there is.
Atheists have just seen all the claims from religion and realized they make no sense.

“You'll NEVER see an American "atheist" say a single bad word about Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.”

We disregard them just as much as Christianity
 
Fair enough. You're an atheist and you're not depressed.

Maybe the answer to OP's question is atheism is depressing to Christians because they wish for everybody to know the love of God. :)

I think the answer is that Christians are afraid of Atheism because it challenges their beliefs.
Maybe there isn’t a God

So they post threads attacking Atheism
 
Atheism and agnosticism are depressing.

I am NOT saying atheists are wrong because atheism is depressing.

I am only suggesting atheism is a bleak philosophy.
Quite the contrary once you realise that God is not a person or anything even approaching such a label .

Rather, God is all of us in every respect, all of the time and forever .

Putting it another way , what is referred to as God is infinitely better described as Universal Consciousness .

Asking a question is "attacking"? Kinda looks like you're having trouble with challenges to your nonbelief.

With all due respect ... this type of atheist accepts the dogma, or else what would he hate? ... fighting against God requires one accept that God exists ... and as He is presented in the Bible ... "Christophobia" requires the existence of Christ ... just like homophobia requires the existence of homosexuals ...

Fearing or hating mythological beings isn't really rational ... and shows more of an inner hatred ... the hatred of one's own self ... stay away from mirrors, you might fall in ...
 
I know atheists are wonderful because they tell me so themselves at every opportunity.

Atheists are responsible but theists are not?

Theists act out of fear, but atheists do not? Do you think atheists may occasionally act out of fear (perhaps of a Communist dictator)?

I fear you?

The body of Christ ... each of us are members of this body ... we provide for the weakest members of this body because all parts are needed ... we can walk without our little toe, but that doesn't mean we should cut it off ...

Just like atheists ... nasty little shitholes but God loves them .. so should we ... where would we be with assholes? ... [giggle] ... full of shit is what we'd be ...

I am only suggesting atheism is a bleak philosophy.

Some quotes:

“That Man is the product of causes which had no prevision of the end they were achieving; that his origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and his beliefs, are but the outcome of accidental collocations of atoms; that no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling, can preserve an individual life beyond the grave; that all the labours of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system, and that the whole temple of Man’s achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the débris of a universe in ruins—all these things, if not quite beyond dispute, are yet so nearly certain, that no philosophy which rejects them can hope to stand. Only within the scaffolding of these truths, only on the firm foundation of unyielding despair, can the soul’s habitation henceforth be safely built.” Bertrand Russell



“I know no study which is so unutterably saddening as that of the evolution of humanity, as it is set forth in the annals of history. Out of the darkness of prehistoric ages man emerges with the marks of his lowly origin strong upon him. He is a brute, only more intelligent than the other brutes, a blind prey to impulses, which as often as not lead him to destruction; a victim to endless illusions, which make his mental existence a terror and a burden, and fill his physical life with barren toil and battle.” Thomas Huxley



“Humanity has in the course of time had to endure from the hands of science two great outrages upon its naive self-love. The first was when it realized that our earth was not the center of the universe, but only a tiny speck in a world-system of a magnitude hardly conceivable; this is associated in our minds with the name of Copernicus, although Alexandrian doctrines taught something very similar. The second was when biological research robbed man of his peculiar privilege of having been specially created, and relegated him to a descent from the animal world, implying an ineradicable animal nature in him: this transvaluation has been accomplished in our own time upon the instigation of Charles Darwin, Wallace, and their predecessors, and not without the most violent opposition from their contemporaries. But man's craving for grandiosity is now suffering the third and most bitter blow from present-day psychological research which is endeavoring to prove to the ego of each one of us that he is not even master in his own house, but that he must remain content with the veriest scraps of information about what is going on unconsciously in his own mind. We psycho-analysts were neither the first nor the only ones to propose to mankind that they should look inward; but it appears to be our lot to advocate it most insistently and to support it by empirical evidence which touches every man closely.” Sigmund Freud

You have the power to end their suffering.
Prove that your god exists.
 
Of course there is.

You don't, though. You actively slander Christianity and Christians, while completely ignoring every other major religion. Your posting history here is ample evidence.

It's fine to admit you're bigoted against Christians, everyone here knows you are, but don't try to deny it when it's so simple to prove otherwise.
 
There’s also Macbeth:

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
I prefer Hamlet:
What a piece of work is a man!​
how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty!​
in form and moving how express and admirable!​
in action how like an angel!​
in apprehension how like a god!​
the beauty of the world!​
the paragon of animals!​

No, I find it comforting to know that all you insecure shit brained idiots believe in something that is not real.
