Do you really believe that a few healthy meals can help with clinical depression? OP said she has been in therapy for years. Few more sessions will not make a difference.

And finding Jesus will make a difference?

Some people continue learning from therapy and should not drop it because of a stranger on the internet or a friend pushing a religious cure.

Yes. Finding Jesus does make a difference. Bonus - it costs way less than any therapy!

You are part of the problem.

You are funny. OP's problem don't come from people who live happy and content life. OP's problems come from people like you who convinced that living with depression is normal. Your soul is like a jar, it cannot remain empty. If you don't fill it in with a light, it will be filled with a darkness. And to fill it with the light, you have to take action. The good thing is that OP has the choice of how to fill it.

I sort of agree with that. If all the therapists and medications and treatments have failed? If you have struggled with depression your entire life, tried every possible treatment and multiple medications, had many different psychiatric interventions, and modern treatments and medications have failed you?

You can’t just stay in the dark of depression your entire life. Try something different. You have to try, for yourself and your loved ones.

It’s gross to suggest a person suffers for decades and dies in mental agony and doesn’t try to live a better quality of life for their own happiness.

So, what the hell, OP-- try religion. and if that doesn't work, too bad - Christians will tell you that you just need to keep trying to believe and Jesus eventually will save you.

You are speaking for Christians in the absence of the need to do so. I have two suggestions, that either your parents either neglected to teach you, or you were taught, but refuse to abide by:

1. Don’t generalize, especially about people, especially about their deeply held, deeply personal beliefs

2. Don’t speak for a person, or group of people. Let people speak for themselves.

I choose to believe your parents taught you these lessons, and you just need a simple reminder to implement them to be a kind, socially responsible citizen.

No simple reminder needed. Just keep trying to believe and Jesus eventually will save you.

You are toxic. You speak for Christianity when you are not a Christian. You think I need your permission to worship Jesus and His Salvation is a joke? Why do you care how I or anyone else conducts their worship and faith in America- a place founded on complete religious freedom?

There are so many toxic posters here who cannot accept religious freedom is a huge part of being an American. It’s good we can worship as we wish. It makes us the envy of the world.

I believe Americans who are so un-American as to not believe in freedom of religion and do not tolerate freedom of religion should either learn to be respectful of our laws and values and morals, or find a new home in a country that limits the expression and freedom of religion, so they can live peaceful and happy lives.

Google the countries that restrict religion and religious practices and go there…you won’t have to live in a country with religious freedom. It would be better than spending your life obsessively watching religious people, telling religious people their faith is wrong, and speaking for the Christianity you despise so deeply.

It’s very sad to live your life hating something (Christianity) so much. It will be very hard for you your entire life, because religious freedom is not going away. We will continue to worship, pray, speak about our faith, and shine brightly as lights representing God in our communities.

As the saying goes, sucks to be you, but I’d never say that to you seriously. I believe your anger and obsessive hostility and venom against Christianity and Christians comes from irrational fear, self-loathing, and hatred for yourself. No one can hate other people without cause without self-hatred.

So when you post such uncalled for and hateful things, I know it’s coming from a bitter and angry and scared place of self-hatred. Prayers to you. Jesus will save you, too.

Wow - talk about anger and hostility! Two simple sentences encouraging belief inspire paragraphs of attack language. It's so unlike Christ that it's hard to believe an actual Christian would say such things.

You aren’t serious, just trolling because looking in the mirror hurts.

You are a hateful and bigoted anti-theist. An atheist simply doesn’t believe or care about religion or God. Anti-theists actively and obsessively hate religion, religious people, etc.

So tell me, are there good Jewish people? Good Muslim people? Are any religious people good?

Google the countries that restrict religion and religious practices and go there…you won’t have to live in a country with religious freedom. It would be better than spending your life obsessively watching religious people, telling religious people their faith is wrong, and speaking for the Christianity you despise so deeply.

It’s very sad to live your life hating something (Christianity) so much. It will be very hard for you your entire life, because religious freedom is not going away. We will continue to worship, pray, speak about our faith, and shine brightly as lights representing God in our communities.

As the saying goes, sucks to be you, but I’d never say that to you seriously. I believe your anger and obsessive hostility and venom against Christianity and Christians comes from irrational fear, self-loathing, and hatred for yourself. No one can hate other people without cause without self-hatred.

So when you post such uncalled for and hateful things, I know it’s coming from a bitter and angry and scared place of self-hatred. Prayers to you. Jesus will save you, too.

Wow - talk about anger and hostility! Two simple sentences encouraging belief inspire paragraphs of attack language. It's so unlike Christ that it's hard to believe an actual Christian would say such things.

You aren’t serious, just trolling because looking in the mirror hurts.

pp must not be a good Christian. A good Christian would not say such hateful things. Even to a stranger on the Internet.

There are no good Christians.

You are a hateful and bigoted anti-theist. An atheist simply doesn’t believe or care about religion or God. Anti-theists actively and obsessively hate religion, religious people, etc.

So tell me, are there good Jewish people? Good Muslim people? Are any religious people good?

That’s not a real post and you know it. Don’t feed the trolls.

And finding Jesus will make a difference?

Yes. Finding Jesus does make a difference. Bonus - it costs way less than any therapy!

You are part of the problem.

You are funny. OP's problem don't come from people who live happy and content life. OP's problems come from people like you who convinced that living with depression is normal. Your soul is like a jar, it cannot remain empty. If you don't fill it in with a light, it will be filled with a darkness. And to fill it with the light, you have to take action. The good thing is that OP has the choice of how to fill it.

I sort of agree with that. If all the therapists and medications and treatments have failed? If you have struggled with depression your entire life, tried every possible treatment and multiple medications, had many different psychiatric interventions, and modern treatments and medications have failed you?

You can’t just stay in the dark of depression your entire life. Try something different. You have to try, for yourself and your loved ones.

It’s gross to suggest a person suffers for decades and dies in mental agony and doesn’t try to live a better quality of life for their own happiness.

So, what the hell, OP-- try religion. and if that doesn't work, too bad - Christians will tell you that you just need to keep trying to believe and Jesus eventually will save you.

You are speaking for Christians in the absence of the need to do so. I have two suggestions, that either your parents either neglected to teach you, or you were taught, but refuse to abide by:

1. Don’t generalize, especially about people, especially about their deeply held, deeply personal beliefs

2. Don’t speak for a person, or group of people. Let people speak for themselves.

I choose to believe your parents taught you these lessons, and you just need a simple reminder to implement them to be a kind, socially responsible citizen.

No simple reminder needed. Just keep trying to believe and Jesus eventually will save you.

You are toxic. You speak for Christianity when you are not a Christian. You think I need your permission to worship Jesus and His Salvation is a joke? Why do you care how I or anyone else conducts their worship and faith in America- a place founded on complete religious freedom?

I see many posts here claiming that religion, religious people, Christianity specifically, is bad. That Christianity and Christians are mean and harmful to people and for America.

Despite America being founded on absolute freedom to worship however an American desires. Despite every American president coming from a Christian faith tradition; despite the majority of our current elected officials professing a Christian faith, and publicly expressing their Christian belief and attending church, as President Biden and his wife and family do.

If you do not like Christianity, pp, and you think there are no good Christians, there are countries that limit the practice of Christianity and in which being a Christian is severely restricted.

That's odd, I recall no posts claiming that "Christianity and Christians are mean and harmful...." Certainly they can be, but that's an individual thing. And certainly there are self-professed Christians on DCUM, with pp as an example, making such claims about people who are not Christian.

Christians, like people of other religions and no religion, can be very nice people.

Don’t disparage actual atheists- it’s probably a pack of rabid anti-theists. Although, the atheist community has shifted into anti-theism at the highest levels for years now.

They claim to be atheist, but they are staunchly against freedom of speech and religion, two guiding principles America was established upon. They think that because America doesn’t have and will never have a state religion, all religion must be kept almost secret. People talking about their religious beliefs are seen as “proselytizing,” and to their warped views, society must be secular.

Nothing is further from the truth. Americans, even political parties, politicians, etc, often speak of their faith and how their Christian faith works in their life, in making decisions while in their elected office, etc. Even President Biden often touts his lifelong faith, quotes scripture from the bible, relates personal anecdotes from his family about their religious beliefs.

Nancy Pelosi is a lifelong Catholic and had her home exorcised after the shocking and brutal attack on her husband, in which he was gravely injured.

Atheists simply don’t believe, so I find it hard to believe a happy, well-adjusted atheist, going about their life in a decent and respectful manner, would spend so much time attacking people who have different beliefs about religion than they do…but maybe I am wrong. Perhaps atheists do have doubts and express them by spending time daily actively attacking religious people, seemingly mostly Christians?

If that’s the case, no one can say that atheists are not doubting their views, because anyone who was confident and happy with their lives would consistently express so much vitriol towards others. It’s not like that irl. Happy people act happy.

When you see a poster repeatedly repeating the same phrase and themes, unceasingly, as many here do, rest assured it’s an anti-theist troll.

Their favorite posts:

Christianity is waning
Christians hate everyone and attack children, often in their own family, and sentence them to “burn in hell” (my question is always, where were your parents when your supposed family member was blowing you out and condemning you to hell? Your mom or dad didn’t tell the attacker to close their mouth and then comfort you and explain that your family member was wrong, was acting wildly inappropriate, and remove you forever from that person?)

Gish galloping around pew polls

Easter Bunny, Leprechauns, Loch Ness monster, and Santa Claus vs belief in Jesus/God poster

Believing in God and religion needs hard, scientific evidence poster

So it’s fair to say there are atheists/anti-theists consistently mounting (weird and ineffective) attacks mostly on Christianity in this forum.

It’s annoying but also makes many stronger in their faith. There’s a reason people attack Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and it’s not because He’s imaginary, weak, or never existed. [mastodon]

You are speaking for Christians in the absence of the need to do so. I have two suggestions, that either your parents either neglected to teach you, or you were taught, but refuse to abide by:

1. Don’t generalize, especially about people, especially about their deeply held, deeply personal beliefs

2. Don’t speak for a person, or group of people. Let people speak for themselves.

I choose to believe your parents taught you these lessons, and you just need a simple reminder to implement them to be a kind, socially responsible citizen.

No simple reminder needed. Just keep trying to believe and Jesus eventually will save you.

You are toxic. You speak for Christianity when you are not a Christian. You think I need your permission to worship Jesus and His Salvation is a joke? Why do you care how I or anyone else conducts their worship and faith in America- a place founded on complete religious freedom?

There are so many toxic posters here who cannot accept religious freedom is a huge part of being an American. It’s good we can worship as we wish. It makes us the envy of the world.

I believe Americans who are so un-American as to not believe in freedom of religion and do not tolerate freedom of religion should either learn to be respectful of our laws and values and morals, or find a new home in a country that limits the expression and freedom of religion, so they can live peaceful and happy lives.

Google the countries that restrict religion and religious practices and go there…you won’t have to live in a country with religious freedom. It would be better than spending your life obsessively watching religious people, telling religious people their faith is wrong, and speaking for the Christianity you despise so deeply.

It’s very sad to live your life hating something (Christianity) so much. It will be very hard for you your entire life, because religious freedom is not going away. We will continue to worship, pray, speak about our faith, and shine brightly as lights representing God in our communities.

As the saying goes, sucks to be you, but I’d never say that to you seriously. I believe your anger and obsessive hostility and venom against Christianity and Christians comes from irrational fear, self-loathing, and hatred for yourself. No one can hate other people without cause without self-hatred.

So when you post such uncalled for and hateful things, I know it’s coming from a bitter and angry and scared place of self-hatred. Prayers to you. Jesus will save you, too.

Who is driving this drivel Christians? Christians are the ones against the Separation of Church And State.

Keep your crap out of our schools.
Keep your crap out of our governments.

Fixed it for you. Jesus isn't going to save you. He is literally rolling over in his grave. Since when would Jesus want people behaving like.......

Christians like MTG, BOEBERT, GOSAR, TRUMPS KIDS, JOEL OSTEEN, JERRY FAWWELL,

Just yesterday at CPAC those "Christians" were disgusting.

Spare us your crap. I have no issue with anyone having free choice in religion however when your religion affects my reading of books or how women are treated in this country and how they want to dumb down society and steal our money ie social security then hell NO>

Do you really believe that a few healthy meals can help with clinical depression? OP said she has been in therapy for years. Few more sessions will not make a difference.

And finding Jesus will make a difference?

Some people continue learning from therapy and should not drop it because of a stranger on the internet or a friend pushing a religious cure.

Yes. Finding Jesus does make a difference. Bonus - it costs way less than any therapy!

You are part of the problem.

You are funny. OP's problem don't come from people who live happy and content life. OP's problems come from people like you who convinced that living with depression is normal. Your soul is like a jar, it cannot remain empty. If you don't fill it in with a light, it will be filled with a darkness. And to fill it with the light, you have to take action. The good thing is that OP has the choice of how to fill it.

I sort of agree with that. If all the therapists and medications and treatments have failed? If you have struggled with depression your entire life, tried every possible treatment and multiple medications, had many different psychiatric interventions, and modern treatments and medications have failed you?

You can’t just stay in the dark of depression your entire life. Try something different. You have to try, for yourself and your loved ones.

Jesus isn’t in His grave. Jesus was resurrected to show us death has no hold over someone who led a sinless life.
