Nothing really works for me.


You do know there are plenty of people that get out of their miserable teens as happy adults without the belief in gods, right?


Quote:At the same time i felt like a force that was telling me that there is a way out this mess.

I follow this force advice step by step and i got to someone who was ready to help.

That 'force' you were feeling was your own subconscious.


Quote:It was really good to realize that what i was looking for was inside not externally as i previous thought.

Of course what you were looking for was inside you, it was your subconscious. 

You improved your own life, not a god. 

Own it. Take credit for your own work. 


Quote:I don't really care what this good feeling can be called God or what else but to me it is.

When this force is so great to make feel so good i can not really call it anything else.  Smile

There is nothing in any of this that points to a god.  

That good feeling is you. No god necessary.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
