I can't believe in a God and I have tried. I've tried hard... and I've fallen.
Morals and the concept of good and evil are heavily based in logic, or at least enforced by it today.

I hope that your depression goes away. It's not a natural condition, so there always remains some hope that the chemical imbalance, in some way or another, will eventually be cured. Perhaps then you may believe -- it has its own benefits; spiritual persons tend to live longer and healthier, after all. And there would be, in your case, the notable causal effect of not being constantly depressed.

(I'm trying very hard to not turn evangelical and start preaching, by the way. So I'm going for now. :wink: )

And you're right: people in general feel the need to believe in something. Some people argue that that itself is God's calling to persons.

Right, right. Going. Later.
