Sure, our view of the world might look bleak to you, but to me it's just common sense! There really isn't a Good or Bad in this world. There isn't a magical man in the sky that decides our futures. The only person that can decide your future is yourself, and if that future involves killing yourself, go ahead, that person could have just as easily decided not to, but that's how life works. It isn't a Magical Mystery Tour of joy and LSDesque flowers and unicorn farts like the bible says it will be if you believe in a fictional deity. @Vonthako, I just wanted to point out that, yes indeed, a majority of people that commit suicide are atheists, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that all atheists, or atheism in particular is responsible.

"She's scanning the subject lines..." "Confirmed! That bitch DELETED it! Bruno, rev up that bus - someone's about to go "splat" on the font fender..." I remember my 1st roommate at college was pissed when I refused to forward a "saint's prayer" chain-letter that he forwarded to me (after his cousin forwarded it to him). P.S. To all you who agree with the author's claim about heaven, you do realize that suicide rates are higher for atheists than for most people who have faith (in something); Heaven's Gate cult is of course the exception. Of the several people whom I have had to talk out of suicide so far, nearly all were atheists. Of this group, the ones who have since begun to believe in some sort of religion have not shown a desire to attempt suicide again. I'm not saying you have to believe in the same thing as I do, but if you stop to think about it, atheism and existentialism are very bleak and hopeless philosophies and often lead down the road to chronic depression, substance abuse/addiction, broken relationships, and suicide.
