If I were to share my recent 'feelings' with them, that'll be a huge mistake. It be like giving them the keys to my car. Returning is literally going backwards. I appreciate truth and science.
Thanks everyone. Your insights are more practical than the alternative.
If I weren't all in as an evangelist, Universalism would be a fair option.
Atheism would be far less confusing for me. My past includes false equivalencies between a god and personal desires. Logically, my identity or upbringing has nothing to do with the planet's or the universe's origins. No wonder I'm feeling this way. Like god, feelings aren't real. We are real. Actions are real.
Everyone's feedback is appreciated.
De nada. I sincerely hope you manage to work it out. Best of luck!

Just spitballing here, but seeing as how one of the satisfying aspects of evangelical belief is the evangelism itself..you might find your mental state improved by finding some other cause to evangelize for. What other things do you feel strongly about, that you could bond with a community over as a shared interest, and maybe do a little good in the world?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
