JonWood007 posted...I don't deny that the christian perspective gives people a sense of hope, and a sense that life has meaning. I've heard stories of people saved by suicide because of finding religion. I don't deny these stories, but to claim that you absolutely NEED religion to not want to kill yourself is ridiculous.
I agree, but people tend to assume that what works for them and the way they think will work for others to a weird extent, and you hear this from a lot of atheists, too. Lack of empathy is a common human trait, unfortunately.
Sure, we atheists get rid of a lot of these assumptions we think about how the universe works. We dont believe there is a magic sky fairy that we can count on looking out for us.

Well, no point in responding any further to someone who uses the words "magic sky fairy"
