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. 

You are eager to pin everything on religion instead of individual thinking. First of all, I am no alcoholic second if I was in hard times, you could talk but my life has been much better then most people almost too good to be true. If I wanted to love this world, I have every reason to love it and I am NOT suicidal but I am indifferent to the world. Your entire argument falls apart since none of your stupid forceful assertions and forcefl correlations apply to me in any way, form or incarnation. Also Stop being self righteous!
