Severe saviour complex

I have met lots of muslim (or ex-muslim) people in the same situation as you, including my current girlfriend. There is a huge generational gap regarding religion and young people in the age of Internet tend to question more and be less satisfied with dogmas when so much debunking is available. In my country I see lots of young girls dressing modern and sexy (while not necessarily having casual sex and drinking) while their mothers wear a headscarf and pray.

So I think you're doing all right and are a modern man. I feel the same as you, I'm a sentient being, if one day God asks me to respond for my actions I will justify myself. And I have had phases of escapism like you describe, this I would recommend to avoid as much as you can, but in my case it's always a phase, never permanent.

Support yourself first. Jesus was only able to help people because he was a walking god with magical powers and could heal people. Take that away from him and he's just a homeless bum walking around not able to help anyone with anything.

Who you want to be in 5 years? Like shape body, financially, job, car/house You have to get in your mind very precise and write down all things I want to be..... Very month I wrote down my goals and I saw them at least 2 times a day and I got a diary when I wrote what I have to do today (in order to get shape body like lifting, knowledge like reading, clean mind like meditation)

Start with little things by adding to your routine and you will become Jesus

Suicide is not the answer. Please talk to a professional.

I'm just guessing here, but I think your thoughts about being a saviour, and suicide are related to your financial, and familial situation.

You're young, and you have lots of free time because you're NEET. Having too much wealth, and being completely independent too early in life is actually detrimental. Why? Because you don't have to do anything to survive. Fighting becomes optional.

We're programmed to always choose the easiest path, and without the struggle for survival, paradoxically, end up thinking about, or, choosing, death. Fighting keeps us alive.

This is something that the extremely wealthy people have realized, and it's why Bill Gates decided to leave his kids enough wealth to be well-off but not enough to do nothing, and waste their entire lives. Instead, it was decided, so it seems, that they should work and make a contribution to society.

Further, I sense that you're the type of person that wants to help. I can tell you that you'll be able to do far more by being alive, than being dead.

So, I would advise that you should first enroll in some form of university education. Learning is imperative to your growth, and should be a continuous lifetime activity even after school is over.

Following that, find engaging employment, and try to create meaning in your life by looking beyond yourself, and working towards the greater good by striving to be a good person, and setting an example. This will be difficult.

There are a lot of good things happening in the world, see what you can do to contribute to their progress. Everything, from small to big, is important. Participate in life, humanity will be grateful.
