my tragedy is not your soapbox
nie nawracaj mnie na grobie


Explanation:
Z jednej strony nie brzmi mi to "na" z drugiej kojarzy mi się nieco ze stanięciem na grobie niczym na mównicy i z "podeptaniem" tragedii

agree  clairee: "na" jest OK,potoczny charakter pasuje do emocjonalnego dialogu. choc nie widze tu "podeptania tragedii",ktos wierzacy pociesza tak samo siebie,ze "tam" jest niebo,nie rozumie,ze dla ateisty to brzmi jak puste frazesy,dlatego tamten sie wkurzony odgryza
