I’m 50.
I think the OP is better off accepting some sort of intellectual compromise instead of going through a bunch of existential angst at this point. WTF if you’re uncomfortable with atheism fuck it. It’s not like my disbelief does me any fucking good.
In Denial of Death Becker breaks down Kierkegaard to something like believing stupid shit is simply better and easier for most people.
Maybe the OP could just be like well this shit doesn’t make sense but whatever god is beyond our understanding. I trust in a loving god and I’m going to heaven. Easy peezy. Billions do it, in fact. Give the ol noodle a break
Ab- if you think I’m a closet theist I’m not
