> Atheism and other devout believers in a purely physical, meaningless and non-spiritual reality are pretty susceptible to things like alcoholism and born-again Christianty.

[citation needed]

Here's some nonsense I just made up:

"Christians and other devout believers in a purely spiritual reality are pretty susceptible to things like alcoholism and becoming atheists."

See how easy it is!

>I bet half of these atheist middle class kids running amock on Reddit are married and church-going by the time they hit 40. As soon as their own mortality starts catching up with them they'll have questions that image memes and front-end frameworks just won't answer.

Oh cute, the old "there are no atheist in foxholes" argument. Oh and it's gotta be church-going, you know Christan. My husband was shot at plus watched two friends die in Iraq and still remains an atheist.

>If you're in tech and you're feeling the lonely, empty void, well, for fucks sake, that's what the entire industry is banking on the future being like.

Um, no.

>AA is very effective.

[citation needed]

Can it work for some people? Yes. Is it effective as a whole for everyone? No. Is it better than other treatments? Probably not.

>People need spiritual lives

No, some people need a spiritual life, not all people. I certainly don't.

The rest of your comment didn't make any sense to me.
