I believe in God but not Prophets and alot of the Quran.

It is only common sense that Allah sent prophets to different nations. How else are they to get the message of truth?

And it is only common sense that tells us that the Qur'an is pure revelation brought down to Rasul to convey the message of Islam.

What about real life then? I won't probs spend alot of time here. It's like saying I am going to be good while I live in midst of fitnah and then come here for 15 mins.

Yh I guess so, a person does need that constant interaction of someone he/she looks up to.

The question is, who can that person be?

The search is on.. ..

Also there's like not a single committed Muslim I would hangout with on a regular basis minimum (they are older).

Or some of them are just boring to hang around with.

Tupac was not settled in his thoughts. You look up to him, then you become like that but may Allah not make it that you follow Tupac.

Be patient, the right person will come along. Circumstances always change. Meanwhile, solitude - it is better than bad company.

I would rather mix than stay home.

He is a role model in a way if you research him, and not all role models are good.

He lived the fast, and haram life mainly.

Haram life is not going to bring any blessings.
