Religion+Depressed=...don't equal??

[A DeJa Vu]

I had someone tell me that because I'm Catholic I couldn't be depressed or emo! I was like "Why not?" And he was like, "Well don't you believe in God or something? So since God is on your side, how can you be depressed??" I was like "Although I may be Catholic (Which i'm actually not I just happedn to attend a Catholic High school because my parents are catholic) doesn't mean I'm not human!" And he left it at that. I was pissed! He was basically saying that Catholics or Christians can't be depressed because they aren't Human! Right? Opinions...

I think that anyone can be depressed, really. It doesn't matter what religion you are. I mean, that's just dumb. I am Christian, and I'm sort of leaning into a state of depression as of now because of recent happenings. But seriously, if you're depressed, you're depressed. If we shouldn't be depressed, then why did God create it?

Sad it's an emotion just like Love or Hate. God created emotions to be felt. If you feel depressed, it's God working and you are in fact human. Exactly.

David struggled with depression.
After all, Saul was trying to kill him.

God was on David's side, and he was depressed.

I see a refutable connection here. surprised

depression is a feeling , like happiness or embarrassment. it has nothing to do with your religion. if you weren't meant to get depressed the world wouldn't be the way it is.

lol? I seriously laughed when you said that just because you're Catholic, you can't be depressed.

I've been told many times that I shouldn't be or act depressed because I'm Muslim. I was like, wtf?

People like that don't know what's going on in your life, and if keep bothering you about it, then it shouldn't be any of their business.

Just ignore that dude. Be who you are. You shouldn't be someone else, or be someone that someone else wants you to be. You can believe in God and have depressed moments. Hell, that's why we believe in God in the first place; to get us OUT of those depressed moments.

Depression and "emo" have nothing to do with Catholicism or any religion for that matter. Both depend on an individual's personal preferences and mental and emotional stability.

Religion's a separate matter entirely. Religion is a system that a person invests their belief in.

Having God on your side automatically makes you more prone to attacks from Satan. (But what do I know? I'm Agnostic. . .) heart

Just because you have god on your side, doesn't mean bad things can't happen to you.
The soilders have god on their side, and they die every day.
