[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am asking this question after reading a previous post about people being depressed because they don't have religion in their lives. I am an atheist in my 40s, although I considered myself Christian until my early 20's. However with life and experience I find it impossible to believe in a 'God' and especially anything written in the Bible. It all seems totally unbelievable to me and I hate the way it has given people reasons to discriminate against LGBTQ communities.

I struggle on and off with depression and sometimes I wished I did have a faith to comfort me. It is very easy for people to say you should turn to Jesus etc, but to me it is like believing in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.[/quote]

I think God is the regulation our desires that take from others or that deplete ourselves unnecessarily. I think God is showing ourselves and others love. Love and Discipline with regards to human natural instincs. Basically regulation of natural instincts and living a life of love for ourselves and others despite the world's hardships.

I personally find that people who are LGBTQ are dealing with something internally genetic that has been off perhaps for generations due to trauma. I think it's their reality but I think there is more to it that is neurological. Which is why you see so much depression and anxiety and other disorders due to this. It's not just the world. It's kind of finding their purpose in the world and somehow becoming whole themselves. I don't think it's particularly natural for people to not want to reproduce since it's a basic need. I feel the same way about single people that are single for their whole lives. Neither is a problem but I think because they don't reproduce, it's harder to find this purpose and when they do they are more stable.[/quote]

This is the oddest take on God and also on LGBT people I've ever heard. You are so confused.
