Religion and depression have many similarities. Both have elements of
altered response to reality, both can lead to actions which have no basis
in logic, both can lead to harm being caused to others.
The big difference is that nobody wants depression, it is forced on them.
People with depression do not want it and most would do anything to get rid
of it. Religion on the other hand is a choice, which makes it a far worse
disease and is far more dangerous to man.
Who in their right mind would believe in a God who allowed this tragedy to
happen, what kind of capricious, mean minded, stupid God would see anything
good in this. Religion encourages fanatics and the world would be better
off without them and Him.
