Dude that is some sad / insane way of thinking. I hope you get some form of help to deal with those feelings. It's another fine example of what religion does to people, while some still pretend religion to be harmless.

Yeah let's just agree to disagree and i'll consider myself lucky I find plenty of enjoyment all over. 

Yeah you are so sane and intellectual and the way I think is due to religion. Whatever it takes to bash against religion I guess. But accept the fact as reality that if there is a Supreme Being then that Being will be more powerful then how i described Him to be. And the way I view life and myself is purely mine. Religion does not take away my individuality so get over yourself

It seems to me that religion is a crutch that can help people through hard times, but at the same time it can make them dependent on it.  So they feel that there is no point to life if the religion is not true.  Look at the original 12 steps of Alcoholics anonymous: 

  1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
  2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
  3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

So it can help, but at the same time God is then the only thing (in their mind) keeping them from alcoholism, so doubting God would carry the danger of undermining their ability to stay sober.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
