Without god in your life do you feel depress?

Let's all play in interstate traffic and shoot 45 revolvers in the air! Who cares?

that's not what she said

Top neurologists, pharmacologists, anatomists, ethicists and theologians are to examine the scientific basis of religious belief and whether it is anything more than a placebo.
Oxford' s new Centre for the Science of the Mind is to use imaging systems to find out how religious, spiritual and other belief systems, influence consciousness.
The experiments will involve non-invasive simulation of burns and would be conducted according to strict ethical rules.They will simulate a burn sensation to see how people, through distraction or by accessing different strategies, can modulate and reduce the levels of pain.
While enduring the agony, they will be exposed to religious symbols such as images of the Virgin Mary or a crucifix. Their neurological responses will be measured to determine the efficacy of their faith in helping them to cope.

If there was a God I would've felt depressed, for then there would've been no freedom and no room for creativity.

didn't you say you were gonna leave?

anywayz back on topic. I don't believe in god and I don't feel depressed

If there was a God I would not have felt depressed, 'cause I would've disproven his existence anyway and he would've dissapeared into thin air!

what makes you so certain that you can disprove god?

There can't be a god because if there were one, I would not have been able to believe that I was not him.

God does not take wawy freedom you just assume that he have to stop doing the things we love without choice but he does let us chose, I can worship God and do bad thingts of course god would want me to stop but he wouldn't stop loving me bcuz I didn't stop

i believe in god... but that doesnt change anything about feeling more or less depressed for myself...

DId no one realize I have just disproved god's existence with this: "There can't be a god because if there were one, I would not have been able to believe that I was not him."?????

pretty pathetic attempt I mean, like get a life. If you read the bible it says that we are not god bcuz we are the created

but then again we actually dont buy what the bible says

Celestialgirl, get a life yourself, the Bible is just a whole lot of history and some bullshit...oh, and nothing to do with God. The bible is someone's pathetic interpretation of God.

I wouldn't talk about my life and it has everything to do with God. And why don't you get a life I mean your the one who has emotional issues and I don't lie about being a teacher.

Everybody gets depressed at least sometimes. Knowing God does help.
It gives you hope that it won't last forever!!!!!!!!

Pfft, sorry, but I have to say that this is a pretty dumb question.

I've never seen anything saying that people who don't believe in God are more depressed than those that do; in my experience I'd have to say the answer to the question is no.

My Biology teacher used to be a research scientist and she knew people who did research into depression, and it is true that although religious people are just as prone to depression as atheists, people with faith are more likely to RECOVER from depression
