I also see that he has ignored the fact that atheism can't be blamed any more than other things, and apparently thinks that today is the same as 50+ years ago, which just goes to show how ignorant he truly is.
Well, it's certainly obvious he has not taken even an introductory level statistics class. Or if he did, he failed to understand the most basic principals.

Well, yeah, that is plainly obvious. He has made it obvious that he isn't really interested in learning, so this is no surprise. The baffling part of his last ignorant post, is that he thinks things are the same now as they have always been... I mean, could you be any more delusional? The US, even just 20-30 years ago, was a far cry from what it is now, for better and worse. To say, as he did, "If all those factors are the prime driving force of suicide in those countries then what changed? The factors are pretty much the same as in previous years and decades."...

Come on now... Even Jeff should be able to see, even if he is in his 20's and has no real life experiences (or in his 40's with no real life experiences ), that things are not the same as they were. The pressures on kids and adults are much higher now than they were. COL has gone up dramatically, while wages have not. You need a college degree or a trade to make more than about $12 an hour in most places, leading to debt and struggles paying bills.... This isn't difficult to understand.

Typical atheist arrogance. Every atheist I've met acts like they are the supreme expert in EVERYTHING.

It's only ridiculous because your claim has no relationship between the two factoids. OTOH, I explained why atheism which is hopeless at its core would lead someone to commit suicide especially if their life sucked. There really would be no point in going on suffering but merely to delay your trip to the compost heep and becoming worm food.

But you're just stating opinions. Big deal.

3 at the grad level.

But I notice you didn't answer the question.

P.S. I never called myself a stat expert. Did I?

More dumbstuff from the King of Dumbstuff. As explained by every atheist that has ever responded to Jeff on this nonsense, atheism values life more than religion. If you believe this is all there is, why would you not want to make the best of it? Live, love, laugh, etc.

The only people who see atheism as "hopeless", are hapless people who don't know what they are talking about. Atheism values life and experiences. Religion values death, and and possible God. As a non-believer who has had a very crappy life at times, and thought there was a good chance I wouldn't live to see 20, I can honestly say I have never felt hopeless. I fought and clawed to get my life back, for the sole purpose of living. Had I been a believer, I could have just let myself slide into depression and death. After all, I would have been in a better place, right?
