Depression, religion, bad advice, spirtual journeys, etc

An intro: I originally posted this on alt.support.depression nearly a
year ago (December 29) today. I decided it might fit here as well.

Be interested to say what type of responses I can get. Hopefully
intelligence discussion will ensue.

(Spoilers: depression, philosophy, religion, etc)

NOTE: I had NO idea when I started this how long it would get. I just
had a lot to say, and could have easily gone on for several more
pages, but I think this is more than enough for now.

This is for myself as much as for other people, in a part of trip down
memory lane and a cautionary tale for religious people who want to
"advise" and "comfort" those with depression... It's long, but
hopefully it'll be worth reading.

For those who want to skip the long story and just get to the advice,
go up to Edit and Find and do a search for an asterisk * and it'll
take you to the place where the advice starts. (After taking you to
the one I just printed, of course.)
