    Perhaps being a “loser” according to the standards of nasty, cruel, selfish people who are too ignorant to realize they are any of those things is actually a sign of success and a good thing. Don’t let your surroundings define your morality. It’s normal that living in such an environment will skew your moral compass, but you can correct for that, and it doesn’t make you wrong.

      Yeah, but if you don’t believe in God and everyone else around you worships that God, well that’s just something you have to deal with isn’t it?

      It’s bizarre but it is what it is. Not really on board with the moral purists here who are like ‘root out the non-believers from your life’. I personally just don’t care that much about housing, or cars, or job titles or any of that stuff. I roll with the punches of life, it’s not like it’s something I sit around stewing about hours per day, or talk to my therapist about every week.
