Try this, try considering that there is no God, and only YOU have anything to say about the direction of your life? You've spent years here, like the Christians here, trying to convince us we need a cosmic security guard.
Only you can change you. I used to be you. I used to be romantic in my thinking as a teen and young adult, not just with god claims, but with relationships with females. The only thing that got me was trouble, and needlessly self inflicted trouble. I grew out of that, accepted the world as it is, not how I wished it would be.
Stop worrying about the things you cannot change, and worry about what you can do for yourself. Nobody here is going to force you by gunpoint to adapt our position. If you never leave your belief, we wont stick you in an oven. But at a minimum, stop chasing utopias. Just be realistic about life.
It really will be ok. The world will not end if you don't become a hero. The world will not end if you don't get everything you want. The world will not end if others exist who do not think like you do. Be you, work on you, but do it in the context of knowing all 7 billion of us will not be on the same page 100% of the time.
