Without God, everything like like an internet meme, there is really nothing to say, nothing to do, so you are just trying to be sarcastic or offensive because you are afraid to say something deep because you are scared you will be pretentious or something like that because you aren't a deep person, you are just trying to be cool or sarcastic.
I never feel like that now. I feel as if every one of my intentions is directed towards love and wisdom and holiness. I used to feel like my whole life was just cynicism and everything was a joke because I was afraid to actually care about something. The deepest thought or consideration I had would be based following some some kind of political propaganda.
I don't feel like that now.
If you replace every 'God' with 'Odin' you get this.

It suddenly seems silly(ier than before)
That's not a reason for anybody (other than yourself, at least) to believe. How do you justify that to other people, in a way that may persuade them that your faith is the correct one.
