The difficulty is in making generalizations about atheists. Atheists are like cats—very hard to herd.

What I'm suggesting is that religious cognitive dissonance and religious delusion are just two forms of human dissonance and delusion. Atheists and agnostics are derisive of these two specific forms of human anxiety reduction, but—because atheists are human beings—they are no doubt reducing their own “denial of death” and “denial of their nothingness” via other therapeutic means.

I'll try a specific example that you might agree with: when there is a death of Christian eschatology in the hearts and minds of atheists and agnostics, those energies often move into revolutionary and utopian politics. If there is no Second Coming, nevertheless people then seek to pour themselves into a political project. There is a reason that secular liberals wrote disillusioned essays in the mid-20th century about communism and designating it “the god that failed.” And there is a reason that some contemporary atheists speak of the “coming Singularity” with religious fervor: we can all imagine a better world, and want one. And nobody wants to die. We want the world to cohere, even if God is not there. We want beauty and truth.

But what I'm suggesting is an atheist's atheism: all gods fail. Nothing works or satisfies because all forms of justification are forms of tail chasing. And we live in a nihilistic universe—a universe that is emptiness: a big nothing. And that includes us. We are gobbling things into our emptiness to no ultimate avail. It is Kurtz entering the “Heart of Darkness.”

Nietzsche called himself the first man to really, really face nihilism. I think that most of us cannot, and that's why we engage in cognitive dissonance: we do not live with death and nihilism squarely before our eyes. We pretend—atheist or not—that what we are doing has some meaning beyond us—some legacy to future generations. And we pretend that we are not empty and the world is not empty.

But we are, as Camus insisted, really like Sisyphus, like actors upon whom the curtain shall soon close tight. The great difficulty is to live in the face of the fact that nothing can matter in any ultimate sense within a godless universe—that all of our narratives and anxiety management strategies are doomed to fail.

I'm sorry to be so negative, but I think that this is what is whistled past by a lot of atheists. We see the metaphorical homeless man (nihilism and death) on the street. We know he is there. We cross over to the other side and whistle and smile. We have free souls. We think he touches us not (to echo what Hamlet said to Claudius). But we're not really looking.

Nietzsche looked. It's why I suggested that book for you to think about.

One more example of cognitive dissonance in an atheist: imagine an atheist who believes that there is one world and that it runs on determinate physics and chemistry (or on perfect quantum probabilistic randomness, which amounts to the same thing). Now also imagine that he believes in free will. Free will, of course, is a religious concept. It is a concept that derives from religious dualism. Atheism is a monism—a philosophy of one world that reduces to atoms and void—and if an atheist believes that the universe “goes” on mechanistic laws then that same atheist must think of free will as ultimately an illusion. If the universe is physics and chemistry, and there is no second world, then what is going on at the human free will level is, logically, not primary or determinative of anything that really is happening in the universe. It just appears to be so. Of course, no atheist (or very, very few) face monistic determinism (or quantum statistical randomness) squarely. They expect the courts to continue to apportion blame, and they expect their wives and husbands to choose them freely over other lovers.

Free will for an atheist functions like redemption does for a Christian: it is a comforting thought with no empirical basis. It is nice to believe, and reduces your subjective anxiety, but it is most likely not true.

Religion is the cry of the oppressed creature (said Karl Marx). So are all of our therapeutic forms of atheism (Buddhist meditation, Roman therapeutic Stoicism, the contemporary Singularity movement, UFO cults, happy face post-9-11 science positive New Atheism. Nietzsche is the atheist Hosea standing outside the atheist's city and saying, “Woe unto you: you are the last men worshipping the long shadow cast across the floor by the carcass of God! Your houses are on fire! Look!”

Marijuana contains a wide range of psychoactive cannabinoids similar to THC, 60 which are the most important ones and hundreds of more less psychoactive ones. Studies have shown that THC alone gives a much higher chance for a so called bad trip, or bad experience including sad feeling and feelings of fear and terror. THC with a blend of cannabinoids gives a much more pleasurable high.

The author of the French blog above (first comment) mentioned some stress and anxiety management programs being used now in Germany. We asked him for information about those programs-and thanked him for his article.

See his answer below (in French in his site).

xanax:

Anxiety disorder is considered to be one of the worst mental conditions that affect human beings by making them prone to baseless and groundless worries but with the arrival of anti-anxiety medications like xanax in the pharmaceutical market, successful treatment of anxiety related disorders has become an instant possibility. But, instead of straightway moving ahead to use Xanax and other medicines to treat anxiety such as Buspar and Tenormin, you can log in to http://www.pill-care.com and get hold of fundamental tidbits on these medicines first.

gary1rn:

I don't believe you have to stay on it for life. That would be a personal choice. Like Xanax, it can be addicting and a proper withdrawal method should be instated if and when your ready to come off. Hope your doing better. Gary

Hi Marllo,

It's a good job we know each other and so you won't mind the fact that I'm laughing now – but I hope with you and not at you.

Sorry to disappoint you but I think you've just pre-empted me rather than 'got' me – hehehe. Anxiety management doesn't come up for a little while. But if you look at my website you can see the basics of just that argument in the articles 'anxiety management 1' and 'anxiety management 2'.

So far with the blog I'm just discussing the human condition really. Then we're giong to do some cognitive stuff and then put it all together towards the end.

Mind you – I have to say – you're quite right – all that stuff you mentioned is extremely important too. My own favourite example is the way that alcohol causes free-floating anxiety the morning after which, of course, adds to the feelings of dreading the consequences if people can't quite remember what they did the night before.

Leah:

“33 percent of patients initiated ADT at the first or second clinic visit.”

Patient initiated ADT? Ya gotta wonder who's been castrated here (sorry if this is in bad taste). Doctors should not perform treatments just because patients insist on it. I wonder if the scourge that is direct-to-consumer advertising has played a role in this. Patients see a drug on TV and demand that the doctor given it to them.

This is a very important article because the findings can be useful in other PC settings. We know that patients have HT, which is of questionable benefit and very unpleasant, because they're anxious. Also, patients with low-grade PC forgo active surveillance or convert to treatment because they're anxious.

The solution is to treat the anxiety. It can be done. I also think that if more men did not rush into treatment (which is common in other countries), some of the anxiety related to PC would abate. In the US our inclination is to always do something. So it's understandable that no guy wants to be the odd man out who holds off. I think we need a cultural shift. Abolishing payments to docs based on the number of procedures they do would also help.

PS: I'm not sure what the implications of this study are for younger patients.

stuartsorensen:

I agree. In fact I'd argue that anxiety management training and its 'oppo' anger management training lie at the heart of truly effective treatment for almost all mental disorders.

Cheers,

Stuart

xanax:

The anti-anxiety medicine xanax is wholly capable of facilitating your war against anxiety as it is the most widely recognized medication to treat anxiety disorders, especially generalized anxiety disorders and altogether Xanax can treat a whole lot of anxieties related to panic disorders and depression. Before you move on to administer Xanax and treat your anxiety, get hold of Xanax tidbits from the site

Djeisha:

I have pure o and i had this one dumb therapist who used to do the same thing. She'd try to make me rationalize my way out of my thoughts which was impossible because rationalization was the reason they were there in the first place. I still suffer from this so i don't know what to tell you to do but i can tell you that you are DEFINATELY not alone. go to some forums for ocd and anxiety and you'll hear similar stories that will comfort you.

Understanding Anxiety
Everyone experiences stress sometime throughout their life, and along with stress comes anxiety. Anxiety is a normal response in times of stress. However, when anxiety becomes excessive dread of everyday experiences, then it has become a paralyzing disorder. According to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, there are five different major types of anxiety disorders; Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder. Statistics from the National Institute of Mental Health show that this disease affects about forty million adults age eighteen and older. It is also the most common psychiatric illness that affects both children and adults. With the right treatment and support from friends and family, it is possible to overcome the disorder and live a normal, happy life.
Anxiety disorders impair a person’s life with fear, uncertainty, excessive worry and tension. They can develop from a wide variety of factors which include genetics, life events, brain chemistry, and personality. “These disorders run in families,” Dr. Charney, director of the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program at the National Institute of Mental Health, explains. So if a parent has an anxiety disorder, the chance of their children having one of these conditions is higher. That may be due to the genes they've inherited, but Dr. Charney points out, “The environment that a child is brought up in may be important, too. Ultimately, it's probably an interaction between genetic predisposition and environment.” If a child is brought up in a broken and unstable home then that child is more likely to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder compared to a child that is brought up in a stable and nurturing home.
Along with fear and uncertainty, anxiety has many physical as well as psychological symptoms. A person suffering from anxiety may experience muscle tension, aches, soreness, stomach problems, nausea, and diarrhea. They can also expect jumpiness, unsteadiness, edginess and restlessness. Falling asleep and staying asleep may become an issue. Since anxiety is a constant thing, people may tire more easily than they normally would. Psychological side effects include irritability, feelings of dread, inability to control anxious thoughts, inability to relax, difficulty concentrating, fear of losing control, and fear of being rejected. “People vary greatly in their proneness to experience anxiety. Some experience anxiety symptoms with minimal provocation, whereas others become anxious only under the most stressful circumstances,” Taylor (9). All of these symptoms depend on the intensity of the disorder and the situation.
With the proper treatment, many people can lead normal, fulfilling lives. Treatment depends on the type of anxiety disorder, the symptoms, and the patient’s preference. Medications that are prescribed to treat anxiety disorders include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines, beta blockers, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. “The medications keep the illness at a stable level while the person receives psychotherapy,” declares the National Institute of Mental Health.
Most commonly, children with these diseases experience fear about situations in the future, perfectionism, excessive self-criticism, fear of making mistakes, and feelings of blame for any disaster that takes place. Noted by the National Mental Health Information Center, treatment for children and adolescents includes cognitive-behavioral treatment, relaxation techniques, family therapy, parent training, and medication. “Although the diagnosis may change over time, children with anxiety disorders tend to retain an anxiety syndrome or mood disorder, often developing new anxiety disorders,” concluded Michelle Craske (42). Children dealing with anxiety need constant reassurance from their peers and guardians about things such as self image.
Anxiety Management includes using techniques such as taking slow, deep breaths, relaxation, positive thinking, and thought control. Relaxation therapies assist with relieving muscle tension, improving a person’s mood, and reducing anxiety. Psychotherapy includes talking with a trained mental health professional to discover what caused the disorder and how to deal with its symptoms. According to James Gardner and Arthur Bell, “the intent of psychotherapy is to help the patient discover the solution for themselves” (200).
Anyone that is suffering from this disorder should take it upon themselves to educate themselves about the disease that is interfering with their ever day lives. Anxiety disorders are a common disease, and with the right treatment it is possible to overcome it but if it is ignored and left untreated then it will just progress and get worse. My objective is to provide my reader with useful information that they will hopefully find to useful knowledge to have. One reason I chose this particular topic is because I have loved ones that have some form of anxiety and I know what it is like to be around that and have to deal with it on a daily basis. It is important to fully understand the disorder in order to relate to those who have it.
