BTW, this is really my daughter, not son. I didn't want her to maybe come here and identify her situation, but I forgot.

I know, right?

Our newbie starts out claiming that he/she has a son with a problem, then inexplicably decides that the child is really a daughter. Only, our newbie claims, he/she wanted to disguise the sex of the child in case the problem child just happened to show up at ravingatheists.com and recognized herself. Well, if this alleged child of his/hers is an actual person and does happen to wander in here, the jig is up anyway once the newbie has reputedly revealed the real sex of the alleged child.

Hysterical.

I strongly suspect that our newbie was really a driveby, attempted character assassin. His/her true aim was to passive-aggressively malign atheism by linking it to depression and mental illness. Then, he or she has the nerve to accuse me of engaging in passive-aggressive behavior!

I tell ya, it is amazing how the theists who wander in here are almost always masters of projection.

Pro Tip #1:

If an atheist seems to be in an habitually bad mood, it's probably not due to his lack of faith but it can probably be attributed to people's (especially family, close friends, authority figures) reaction to his lack of faith and, in turn, their treatment of him.

It looks like gumby's gone. Maybe for good.

His/her ploy to put atheism on trial failed.

He began an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety Rx a month ago and isn't sure if it helps. I think a higher dose might help though. When he first labeled himself agnostic, he explained it in positive terms, but it hasn't been the same making the jump to atheism.
Is there any particular reason why you think his religious beliefs are causing him to be depressed? Young people generally have far better things to get depressed over...
