[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Your title is misleading because the way you describe your experience with religion is incompatible with many religions, including non-Orthodox Judaism. It’s annoying when people say “god” or “religion” when they really mean some denominations of Christianity.[/quote]

OP's post seemed pretty clear to me[/quote]

“God” does not mean what OP is describing for the vast majority of Jews, for one. OP needs to be specific. [/quote]

There is no description of God in OP. OP is specific in his or her search of God, [b]and there is only one God.[/b] I am sure he or she will find him, regardless of what vast majority of Jews thinking about. OP's journey to find the God is not hinging on what other people think the god is or should be. [/quote]

?? Since when?  There are literally hundreds of gods, and throughout history thousands of them. [/quote]

[b]Not PP but omg are you really that dumb? [/b][/quote]

Maybe, but why don't you go ahead and tell us what is so dumb about this.  Seems exactly correct to me.[/quote]
