Yeah, I only hope that the mental health profession starts to acknowledge the reality that you will never find a depressed atheist. Religious belief predisposes people to depression because it robs them of their rational intellect. There is no "why". Things just are.
Ignis aurum probat, miseria fortes homines - Seneca
"Fire proves gold, calamity proves strong men."It is lifes difficulties that define who we are. Happiness is overcoming them.

I spend it trying to fix my brain. Oh, just to feel again .... to laugh, cry, love, daydream. No, just pain. This is the path God has chosen for me. Why I was chosen, will never know. Why I would trade my life for just one normal year of existence, just one year.
