I definitely live for Satan. God created the world and gave humans the right to free will, but doesn't accept their choices and sends them to Hell. Satan on the hand, represents human tendencies which we all know we have. So why not live for Satan if he's the only that actually accepts the fact that we can make our own choices.
Although I do pity theists at times, it's very a rare occasion. Theists are people who believe in what they believe just like everybody else. Who cares whether it be God or mermaids? Theists have their tastes and atheists have theirs.
I would remain an atheist over being any other religion. I enjoy the freedom to only please others and not worry about where I end up after I pass. I don't have to worry about all the things that "God" expects of me.
As a person who cuts, I do this to know that I am still in control of myself and that my depression is not. Cutting is pretty much a disorder. Different people suffer from different forms of depression. When someone sees themselves bleed it reminds them that they can still feel, that they still have a life that isn't over yet. Cutting releases stress. The chemicals called Endorphins are released to relieve the stress or emotional pain they are having. Also, these people who cut believe they deserve it. The people who are saying "cutting is dumb" are probably the same people who make condescending comments to others. We have no actual right to look down on those who are mutilating their body. It is their decision. It is how they keep going. I've been clean from cutting for a few months and I still have the desire to cut because it becomes addictive. You don't know how to stop if it starts to feel good and solve your problems. Some people can get over cutting easier than others.
Well perhaps you should review your original argument and evaluate why he replied in that way. You did not present your argument in a manner that could be taken seriously. You did not use efficient language (for example, the entire point of your argument was hypocracy, and... well, you spelled hypocracy wrong).
I don't see why atheists can't seek help from religious people.. Sure religious people believe atheists are going to Hell, but that doesn't matter. Their problem doesn't have to be your religion vs. theirs. This is really silly mainly because people can't accept other people as they are. This is practically like whites hating black or any race hating any other race because they are different. Whether there be a Hell or Heaven or there being no existence, there is no point in not helping someone because of their religious perspective. If a religious person were depressed and an atheist were to reject helping that religious person, the religious person would only call them selfish and probably an arrogant atheists. That's how atheists feel if they are rejected the help they desire to rid their depression.
