"God has never spoken to me."
God spoke directly to me in a dream, once. He briefly gave me relationship advice and it was very good. If it was not God, why would he lie to me and say he is the Lord, yet give good advice?
"can believe in anything and nothing"
You just take it little by little; if it isn't working then stop and try something else. Waiting for reliable evidence seems unlikely to work because the little things are not verifiable even for those who are into that sort of thing. There needs to be a hunger and a searching involved on your part.
People get all bent out of shape by going off the deep-end whole hog. Interpersonaly some get sucked in by scammers from Nigeria. You don't do the equivalent spiritually either!
Being skeptical seems to me to be a strategy to hide from having offended God, angels, or other people; or from not dealing with guilt and other bad things and letting them pile up. I once tried to visit a woman who was deeply in debt; she had advertised for haircuts. But she had taken her doorbell off so the debt collectors couldn't bother her! Well neither could I. I never did meet her so she could cut my hair. Skepticism is like her strategy.
