I think the religion also is a reason why people don’t speak up for their rights cuz if they start to look closely into this life and strive to make this world heaven rather than waiting for some imaginary heaven, the tyrants won’t have a leverage above masses.
Well I am not even from US.
yeah
union? you mean marriage?
what is brawndo?
Isn’t it strange though that they are the huge proponents of free will and then make people surrender their free will? I do not believe in free will yet I live more freely than those who believe in free will.
Some people don’t deserve kindness. I think I can at least hate them in my heart if I cannot take physical action against them
My only crime was that I became more religious than them in my early childhood out of my own devotion and I became a poster child for piety. It all starts to disappear when I left my sect first, then I start to listening music and being clean shaved.
In my religion, it is that the pain will only increase. Hadith literature regarding hell is more graphic than I showed here.
Every therapist here is part time exorcist.
I will not forgive them for the way they try to suppress my questions. Even from my initial questioning, everyone treated me like an outcast just cuz I left their interpretation of religion. Some days ago, my dad said that too much knowledge is bad and we should not be too knowledgeable. The misogynist, hyper-conservative, toxic parents they are. If I could do, I will piss on their graves. And for imams, they think they are hooligans. I have seen from my own eyes the terrorist organization recruiting for Jihad and how mosque welcome them. Another mosque’s Imam think that if you follow his interpretation, it does not matter how much you sin. You are not blasphemer. If you leave their sect, you are blasphemer. They are the source of making people radical, committing pdfilia and trying to take place of what Catholic popes used to be before Protestant Reformation. I will not forgive anyone. I may not go as far as some people like Stalin went to suppress religion but the way they lied with me, tried to suppress me and my ego, trying to make me feel that I am mentally ill just because I feel attraction to boys too or that I don’t wanna marry, they don’t deserve forgiveness.
damn but at least you met her. Don’t be sad that it is no more, be glad that it happened.
So how are you alive again?
I did not know them while growing up but this one had been hammered since I was born. I have left religion in 2025 so I think I am getting adjusted with this new way of life.
Luckily I never get beaten but yeah I agree
I think Christianity is a good example. They have the concept of hell too but I never felt afraid of that cuz I was never raised with that religion and I have never seen Christians preaching where I live that I will be doomed in hell for not believing in Jesus being Lord and that he died for my sins. According to my previous religion, they will be the ones doomed to hellfire (if they come to know “the truth” but did not leave their religion) and I am sure those who were raised Christian never feared from this hell.
A hard thing for me to do as I got so much negative experiences from people that I actually want to transition into the most bad person I ever can.
I personally think it is way better to read it with their interpretation as it will give an idea on how this text is understood these days, what apologetics do they apply, and then follow it with the traditional interpretation especially from the time when the religion you’re studying was dominant and from that time, read the dominant stream’s interpretations and works so it will give an idea that how they followed their religion when they were in power and what was their “golden age”.
I think they do, at least where I live
I am into spirituality. I do daily meditation. Although I have to practice my parent’s religion cuz I live with them and dependent on them, I don’t believe that or any of the religions like Christianity, Hinduism, and etc.
