people who really reaLLY need God?

Question

Are there people who can't live without God?
I mean people who without God in their lives will commit suicide or murder someone?
People whose lives are filled with pain & desperation that without God they feel hopeless, worthless and their lives unbearable & meaningless?
then why not support them...encourage them to believe in god instead of telling them "God is not real"
is it impossible, that some people can be so poor and pathetic?

Answer 1

I'm agnostic. I don't trash or attack anyones religion, I just don't know. People say "my life was turned around when I accepted Jesus" or "Allah's will must prevail" or "the way of Buddah brings enlightenment" but truthfully, I don't see any difference in the way people live. I don't see supernatural help, I don't see a blueprint to get to Heaven, or even a reasonable indication that there is such a place. I don't see anyones life on earth made easier, just no difference whatever path you follow. What do I do if I just can't beleive? Them I'm told I don't beleive hard enough. How does one believe harder?

Answer 2

Depression is a disease. It is the imbalance of certain chemicals in the brain.

So, it doesn't matter whether one believes in god or not. If they have clinical depression, they're gonna feel desperation, pain or even suicidal.

I would even venture to say that those who ARE religious will be more depressed, desperate and filled with pain because their god does not help or comfort them.

Answer 3

if God doesn't answer their prayers, they can always come here for equal measures of encouragement and drubbing. hehehe...
