[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here...thank you for your thoughtful responses...please keep them coming...I just wanted to clarify something important:

I did not mean that atheism=unhappy lives. Rather, I meant that many weighty topics are hashed out here on a daily basis, but almost wholly lacking from these discussions is faith.  People seem to face the hardest issues of human life on their own, without any sense of a Truth larger than themselves.  So I wondered why.  Was that a deliberate, thoughtful decision?  Or something that just never seemed important?  And if it was a conscious decision, what motivated that choice?

I hope this makes sense.  And I will gladly answer the opposite question, just not this moment.  I really just want to hear from y'all for now.[/quote]

Maybe people have kept faith out of discussions b/c that type of answer is not helpful as far as providing a plan of action to solve people's problems.  If someone was writing b/c their spouse was cheating, their child was difficult, etc, what good would it do to say something to the effect of, "Pray, may the Lord be with you?" or "I dealt with the same thing through the power of church."  We want advice we can act on.[/quote]
