What is the secret behind the personal miseries, physical and mental problems (DEPRESSION)?

Question

Disbelief has various negative impacts upon human beings and societies alike. In a society far removed from religion, the basic characteristics of its members are injustice, selfishness and untrustworthiness. This inevitably is the nature of disbelieving societies. Only the values of religion assure moral perfection for societies and individuals. Those having faith in God (Allah) and the hereafter conduct themselves responsibly, since they only live to attain the approval of God. Fearing God, they cautiously avoid wicked deeds, attitudes and behaviour not praised by God. A society dominated by such people becomes one that does not experience social problems.
However, a disbelieving person, failing to recognise that he will ultimately be rewarded or punished for his deeds, does not observe the limits of God. Disregarding the Day of Judgement, he simply does not see any necessity to curb his wickedness.

Despite avoiding certain socially unfavourable forms of behaviour, many people do not hesitate to commit other evils when they are urged, encouraged or have an opportunity.
For someone who shows his preference for disbelief, troubles begin while he is still in this world, since everyone, deep in his heart, knows that he should adhere to the values of religion. Surely everyone is endowed with the faculty of conscience. But while this mechanism is very fine-tuned in believers, it becomes almost dysfunctional in those who do not live by the values of religion. In other words, by paying no heed to their conscience, people who have drifted apart from the values of religion experience spiritual distress. Everyone, in reality, knows that he has a Creator, that he is responsible to Him and that he should display moral perfection. Yet, these are essentially in conflict with his worldly whims and desires.

That is why, individuals either entirely reject religion, or find excuses such as "I am honest, good and sincere" so as to avoid the way of living described in the Qur'an. However, in both cases, people in their subconscience know that they should lead the type of life approved of by God. In societies distant from the values of religion, the basic source of all mental anguish, all psychological and spiritual problems is this spiritual distress which we call "pangs of conscience."
The state of those who start to experience this grief while they are still in this world is expressed in the following verse:

They say: When will this promise be fulfilled if you are telling the truth?
Say: "It may well be that some of what you are anxious to hasten is right on your heels." (Quran,27,71-72)

"Pangs of conscience" are only a minor part of the eternal and unbearable spiritual grief a non-believer feels in the hereafter. The reason why man suffers from this worldly pain is because he prefers a way of living, attitude and outlook contrary to his purpose in creation. As long as he persists in his irreligious attitudes and mentality, he is doomed to suffer from spiritual grief. That is why he feels the urge to find ways to silence the voice of his conscience and hence find relief from mental suffering.
Mentally and physically, man is naturally inclined towards the values of religion. God has surely created not only man but also the most proper way of living for him. Therefore, transgressing beyond the boundaries of God naturally leads to personal and sociological complications. As mentioned in the preceding lines, these complications are actually the social and personal miseries, which have had a negative impact upon humanity throughout history.

The one and only way to eradicate these complications is adherence to the values of religion. Religion brings solutions to each one of these complications in a real sense.

Answer 1

did you not listen to the answers the last time you posted this ?
no one agreed with you

Answer 2

If religion is suppose to curb wickedness why is it that the majority of murders across the country are committed by religious people? Even with the counter argument that far more religious people exist then atheists it changes nothing because religious people are still committing wicked acts. This goes to show that religion alone is not capable of curving a wicked person from their path. If anything I believe that religion breeds intolerance and violence against other religions.

If you take a look at various religions and their fanatical followers you will find branches of sectarian violence between groups. You can also take a good look at mid evil wars. With careful examination you will find that many wars in that day revolved around religious conflict. Take a look at the Salem Witch trials, that was outright murder based on religious superstition. Take a look at the Arabians, they follow the exact same religion but based on differences in interpretation they have been fighting a holy war for over three thousand years. The Persians set out to conquer the world for religious dominance. The Greeks committed wholesale slaughter against the druids and tribal worshipers. As far as I can tell an atheist has yet to lead a war of domination based idealism.

Hails to the truth,
Silence

Answer 3

I don't understand why you think people who consider themselves religious, God fearing people have better societys and are better people. Look at what they did when they first came to this country. What they did to the natives, look at all of history. Look at what so many catholic priests have done. I could list event after event from history, but then my answer would be as long as your question. Having religion doesn't make anyone a good person. Depression doesn't pay attention to religion either. It can hit anybody, whether it's a chemical imbalance or depression brought on by circumstance.

Answer 4

Gee and here I was thinking chemicals in the brain might play a small factor in moods. Ah well. Send me a carpet I guess.

btw if I don't deal with the substance of your argument its because I didn't waste some of the precious time I have on this planet reading your drivel.

Brevity is the soul of wit my friend
