Post religion causes depression
lol, not entirely. Anyway, I would imagine most people realize that I'm a pretty hardcore atheist (or beyond) and I found this article entertaining.

Participating In Religion May Make Adolescents From Certain Races More Depressed

Weird, maybe it has to do with latinos being mostly catholic? Catholicism is a little more guilt-based and less self-righteous than the protestantism shared by the majority of whites and blacks.

Catholics are the pragmatists of Christianity, protestants the idealists. :)

oh man, you don't want to get me started on that subject. :roll: We need another God game like Populous. Only better. I want to pull my worshipper's strings. I guess that's what Black&White was about. Bleh. I want something more! Set in the modern age... I want to cause mass destruction and inspire religious wars.

I'm guessing Spore is coming close. In a kiddy-playdough-can't-make-penismonsters kind of way. :)

I think the depressive ones devote to the religion to ease their depression. Not that the religion causes depression. Eh, nice thesis?

Btw, if you don't know where to go, take orthodoxy, and the Serbian one. ;) At least I am sure out priests are allowed to marry each other (straight marriages of course). :twisted:

On the other side, I doubt you're a priest at all. :)
