Author oppath Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 My depression has NOTHING TO DO with sins against GOD! Moreover, god isn't some patriarch watching over me if he does exist. shut the in thy closest and pray. the christian god would not want to be worshiped. Jesus would have rejected worship. I'm not depressed because I don't accept god. Blasphemy. I have a disease! Posting 2 pages of bible quotes won't help me. What if I were jewish? Or Islamic? I'd be destined for hell or depressed for life because I wasn't Christian, right? Leave this post alone. I don't welcome your advice. I don't welcome you lecturing me about religion. You clearly have little knowledge of neuroscience. Whether god exists is irrelevant. Neuroscience is a breathtaking field just now taking off. It is fascinating. I could be the most zealous person and still be depressed as hell. There is a biological and physical basis. There is a genetic basis. I suppose the flu is god punishing someone for his sins, not a disease. You are truly pissing me off. I live a more holy life than most zealous christians despite being agnostic. If god exists, he wants me to have a personal relationship, he doesn't want me publicizing my beliefs to others to prove how pious I am. Church and god will not cure my depression any more than they would cancer. If you had a choice between chemo and praying, would you honestly choose praying? True, the choices aren't actually exclusive, but I have a medical disease. Insinuating I am sinful or sick because I don't accept god is hardly christian. You lack compassion.
lonelybird Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Okay, apologize for "lack of compassion". I didn't mean to hint you sin agaist God, but as a fact, we are all sinners. "shut the in thy closest and pray"??? How come I never was in a closet, I must be wrong:p . By the way, God is not far away. He loves you. I hope you can see things and situations through God's eyes, and you won't be so depressed. God is LIVING. Satan blinded your eyes and don't want you to see this. Ok, you can laugh at me and pissed off, I am going anyway. Best wishes
Ssheena Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 I have a picture of Matt Lauer and Tom Cruise going at it.. Oppath, I hope you are doing better every day!
Author oppath Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 Sorry if was responding harshly...I just take offense when I claim not to be religious and for someone to push that I should be to cure what ails me. It's the equivalent of telling an Islamic person they should turn to Jesus. If I say once that I am agnostic, the subject of religion should be dropped. Besides, I do worship. I worship the flying spaghetti monster. Unfortunately, I can't tell you more about his heavenly noodly appendages because I'm not wearing full pirate regalia. He'll become angry unless I change into the appropriate garb. Trust me, you don't want to make the flying spaghetti monster angry.
