Search Results: drinking in high school

Maybe it's just ME, but from my personal experience the super religious people I've known have been very angry and depressed.

I had a friend in high school who was Mormon, and he was one of the happiest and most outgoing people I knew, then he went on a mission for a few years and came back all depressed.
There was one Mormon girl in my class who was also pretty depressed.
There are two Catholics at my work, both suffer from depression and have a drinking problem.
I've had some friends who were devout Christians, they were also very depressed and miserable and complaining about how nothing is going well in life for them.
I've talked to many Muslim people online, all of them were super moody and just gave off a depressing vibe. Ironically, the one girl I talk to who left Islam is actually much happier compared to the girls who still follow the religion.
Even Buddhists I've met have had depression problems.
Ultra Orthodox Jews tend to be very rude.
My mom is a devout Catholic, her family are devout Catholics and they are all very short tempered and moody. My dad left the church and seems much happier, but his family members still practice and they are the same. So moody, rude and easily offended.

Ironically, my atheist friends are actually A LOT happier and more outgoing then my religious friends.
I myself fell into depression when I was a child and my mom forced me to go to Sunday school. It was horrible, because even the slightest thing such as swearing or having a sexual thought, would make me feel guilty and I would literally confess EVERYTHING to my mom.

My mom used to say my life became shit after I stopped going to church, but the reality is, I became MUCH happier AFTER I stopped going to church.

But I see this on GAG too. Religious people on here are always angry about "something" and get offended so easily and seem to have depression.
