I am still frum even though at one point in my life my classmates were mean to me and my teacher was an appikores. She told our class that she doesn’t know why it’s important to learn hilchos hafrashas challah since moshiach isn’t coming anyhow… and this is in a chareidi school. I wasn’t sure if I believed in Hashem or not, but I kept all the mitzvos because why do something before I’m sure? After a lot of thinking and reading I came to the conclusion that Hashem is real, and therefore I worked on getting the best relationship with him. I davened to make friends and guess what? Instead of being stuck miserable for the rest of my life pretending that there can’t be a g-d because gods are supposed to do what I want I actually ended up happy. Ironically I found out that there was a mathematician called Pascal that had the same reasoning that I had to begin with.
