I fully acknowledge and own the fact that I am not the ultimate controller. I am very ignorant in some regards. I freely admit that I do not have all the answers. Furthermore, I reject anyone who claims to have all the answers, because this is an impossibility. I am dependent upon others. In fact, we all are, if we realize or accept this or not.
I do not have to prove my existence to a god. I do not have to prove my worthiness to a god. I do not have to subjugate myself to any authority which I do not view as legitimate, and an invisible, omnipotent, dictator certainly does not have legitimacy in my opinion.
I am not frustrated by the inherent natural order of the world. Rather I am frustrated by the man-made structures and institutions (capitalism, racism, and social hierarchy come to mind) that are imposed on society. My frustrations are with humanity, as humans tend to hold the individual in higher regard than the society at large. I would like to see a transcendence of the individual for something greater.
I will point out, that you, too, will one day die, like everyone else. To suggest your god will save you from this, is ludicrous.
