This is the sort of intellectual conmanship that I’m sure is very impressive to a 15 year old, but people who talk like that do not have your best interests at heart.
You've said absolutely nothing of substance, here. Just platitudes. You haven't explained why Yahweh is legit but, say, Zeus isn't.
I don't need to, because Christ has delivered us from the need of worshiping Yahweh, in much the same way that Prometheus delivered mankind from worshiping Zeus.
Don't you understand? The point of Christianity isn't to worship, it's to become a moral person. Whatever amount of horror or exploitation you may have seen going on around you in the church you grew up in wasn't a sign that it had failed, but rather, that it worked on YOU in a way that it didn't on everyone else, because it gave you eyes to see what others were missing – that is, all the evils and crimes they had committed and were still praying to be delivered of.
I understand that this is somewhat of a horrifying gift to receive, but you should treasure it anyways because it will keep you from running straight into the welcoming arms of another abuser – which WILL happen if you deny it.
Everything you do and say in this life will leave a mark on you, one way or another. Look up epigenetics if you need a scientific explanation for this. There is no such thing as a free lunch – getting rid of God does not get rid of the consequences of doing evil.
