So after exploring every worldview from Hedonism to Pessimism, from Catholicism to Satanism, God revealed himself. After being officially diagnosed by two psychiatrists, one of whom went to an elite, well-known university, with trauma-induced schizophrenia, God revealed to be that I have severe OCD and some pride issues. Part of the exploration was me being "edgy" and jazzy, and me wanting to be in control of my life, or at least "something," i.e. virtue (stoicism).

So my last questions:

1. Do I avoid atheists? Because God revealed to me that I'm not to be a "hermit," that I'm to interact and BE UPSET if someone is cruel towards me. Not to DARE REMOTELY compare myself (selah) but Jesus did it!

The what if thinking (God revealed that) is telling me, "what if atheists set out to convince me God doesn't exist? What if they shove science and evolution down my throat and make me lose my way?"

People don't walk around with a sign on their head that says "I'm atheist." So I can't do it in advance. But I'm not sure what to do if people (atheists, Muslims, other denominations) try to force me out my denomination.

No.

You are under no obligation to argue with that kind of atheist. Just decline the invitation.

But I'm not sure what to do if people (atheists, Muslims, other denominations) try to force me out my denomination.
Same advice as given in the previous answer.

It was probably her counselor, it's important for mentally disabled people to stand up for themselves in a good way.
And we love all our neighbors and treat them well.

You should stay Christian and wait for a testimony from God and the Holy Spirit. No matter what atheists say. I can testify to you that God is real and Jesus the Christ is Lord. I have received a testimony from the Holy Spirit in great peace and love from God.
