ok, go on assuming that this is it, and that's all there is. Voltaire is your man. as for me, i think, therefor, i am. i can percieve what reality would be, i can percieve what perfection would be. although i cannot fully understand it, i can grasp the idea of infinity. sense i can do all these things, they must be, since i can grasp the idea of God, He must be.

by playing the silly mind games, you can get over things such as "life is meaningless" (as i am sure you follow, seeing as how you seem to think that once we die, there is no-where else to go, and all our accomplishments will fall) if you follow the actual words of what you say, it's depressing. but you seem to feel man will know everything about everything. if this is true, you will know that man knows that depression is the product of a faulty mindset. you go through life, dont you? there are more things to life than eventual nothing, isnt there? if man is capable of knowing all, it will know that a system designed to die, makes us all useless, which means we should have killed ourselves off long ago. there is, and always will be, more to existance than math and theories.

I didnt realize how young you were when I began posting to you. I will refrain from shredding this post to pieces as your use of the word depression in it several times it makes me a little hesitant. Your young your world view is forming I do not want to be the one who pushes you away from rational thought because I attacked you.

I know what your going through I was there. I once stood on the same precipice considering the world with No God, No Heaven, No crutches to keep me strong and safe from the universe. I looked inside myself and found the strength to step away from the mythology, the lies, and the crutch. I found myself alone in a world where I as a conservative, atheist was not welcome. This could have lead to serious depression but the strength was there for me because I believed in myself and my abilities. I could form my own beliefs I could stand on my own.
