I offer a similar experience for you to experience.
You see, this is what gets you in trouble here. You arrogantly assume that since I haven't turned to god, I haven't suffered as you have. I'm quite certain I can go toe to toe with you as far as experience goes, and I was able to overcome my struggles without belief in a god. It's these assumptions you make about other people and how others couldn't possibly have been through what you've been that make you appear closed-minded and narcissistic.
I have suffered just as you have. The only difference is I don't wish my suffering upon you in a desperate attempt to convince you that my religious views are correct.
