Let me ask you this why is it that you can believe in the devil and not the Lord? If the devil has a hold on you then God can set you free allow him to do so. Please don't even put the possibility of suicide in your head the devil is real ans can hear your thoughts so don't give him any ideas of things to use against you. He will your weak spot and beat you up with it. Stand up my brother and fight for what God has given you. Life is yours for the taking find a bible or look it up on line
1 Corinthians 10:13 let it be a starting point to a better you. Sending you all the prayers I can be safe and happy

You need to get some fight back in you. Your future in in your hands. Focus on developing what talent and skills you have, You need to get some connection with the spiritual, so as to handle life better. You can finds your own beliefs, and picture of God that works for you. Life is tough and one must be strong in order to do well. Meditate/pray, do mind-body exercises, eat healthy, don't overindulge and look for inspiration from every possible source. This should make you stronger and more sensitive spiritually. You need to cut back on your smoking, drinking and getting high, because that tunes you out spiritually.

Listen to UnderOath. I say this because I know they snapped me out of a downward spiral. They're a Christian band, but what's different about them is that they're not singing about how God is Amazing --they're singing about living your life with God, even though you're unpolished and compromised.
Don't give up on God. Maybe right now you and Him are at odds, like a father and son sometimes are. Just don't deny Him in your life. And as for being tired of your life -- two things: 1. Dude, it's YOUR life! If you think smoking, drinking, getting high is screwing up your life, cut it out! Sometimes in Life we have to take extreme measures to deal with our problems---Be Aggressive, Fight back, don't take it lying down!
2. Get out of the habit of saying "can't" -- You're only putting limits on yourself! The devil doesn't have to do a thing as long as you keep sabotaging yourself!

How is it that you believe in the devil but do not believe in God? Since, by definition, the devil would have originated with God...the truth is...the devil isn't a person but something primal within us all. It is a demon that you must face. However, you don't have to face it alone. Some use their church....others their friends....some seek out professionals...others post questions on Yahoo Answers. It up to you on how best to face your demons.

Since the devil is a creation of God, and you don't believe in God, you might be able to convince yourself that there is no devil.

It sounds more to me like you're suffering from depression. Everything you describe is a classic symptom including withdrawal from life, (Leaving your church) drug use and suicidal thoughts. My advice is to seek out professional help in the form of counseling.

Maybe try putting on some clothes...that's always a good start when trying to ward of the devil anyway...but for my part you can go as naked and free as you wish.

If you can't believe in God, you wouldn't be believing in the devil. They're a package, take them both or leave them all.

Life is given to you once, mate. Don't screw it up, or end it. If you must, go back to your religion. Just don't commit suicide, thats cowardice at the highest level.
