I am going to pretend this question which sounds like sarcasm is covering up a seed of truth in really wanting to know.
Just talk to God the way you did here...open up to Him, and remember... He already knows what is in your mind and heart, so, speak truthfully...even about not really believing but willing to take a shot to see if all of the Believers in R&S may be speaking "Truth"...or if it be a bunch of lies like so many think....thank Him for listening and then tell Him you will wait for His answer.
What do you have to lose?
Peace be with you :)
***Shawn b... you've evidently been talking to the wrong Christian(s) or you didn't read or listen very well :)

There is no God. You're on your own, Son!
The best you can hope for is to convince yourself that there is a God who takes a personal interest in you and will intervene on your behalf when bad things fall upon you. It's a kind of self-hypnosis.
It works for some, but never did for me.
LOVE YOURSELF!!!!
That's going to go a lot farther for you than any advice about religion.
HINT: To love yourself, you must strive to be a better person, take responsibility for screwing up, and rely on yourself to make thse changes that you need to make.
Religion won't give you any different message.
"The Lord helps those who help themselves."
You'll have much better luck in everything if you help yourself, than if you pray, however earnestly, and don't work for that improvement.

Most people have to pretend that God speaks to them. When you ask them particulars from the conversation they then say it's just a feeling they get inside.

God speaks through His word. You need to read and study the Bible. God speaks through prayer and meditation, speak to Him and the allow Him to speak to you while you meditate. God speaks through others, get under some good preaching and teaching. DO these things in earnest and He will help you.

Sinners prayer....he will listen.
"Heavenly Father, have mercy on me, a sinner. I believe in you and that your word is true. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that he died on the cross so that I may now have forgiveness for my sins and eternal life. I know that without you in my heart my life is meaningless.
I believe in my heart that you Lord God raised Him from the dead. Please Jesus forgive me, for every sin I have ever committed or done in my heart, please Lord Jesus forgive me and come into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior today, I need you to be my Father and my friend.
I give you my life and ask you to take full control from this moment on; I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ."
Amen.

you invite him into your heart. God hears our prayers and if you are sincere, he will hear yours.
we are all his children and like a good father, he wants the best for us. like children, we want our own way and that is why we have conflicts.

Just follow the instructions in Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
