My African mother is threatening to disown me because I’m no longer Christian

I recently told my mother that I no longer believe in Christianity and that I consider myself an atheist. I told her that I genuinely don’t feel that God is real, and that I struggle with the idea of an all-powerful and loving God allowing so much suffering in the world.
One of the things that especially bothers me is the amount of violence and massacres that have happened in Africa and even historically the amount of wars,slavery and so much more.I also struggle with the biblical story of the firstborn sons of Egypt being killed during the Exodus. I can’t understand why a supposedly loving God would let the people pay the prize for the descisions made by the pharaoh.
My mother took this extremely badly.
She is now pressuring me to get down on my knees and pray for hours, asking God for forgiveness and begging me to return to Christianity. I have explained that I don’t believe in God anymore, so praying to God doesn’t feel sincere to me.
She has now threatened to disown me if I don’t return to Christianity.
I understand that Christianity is extremely important to her. But at the same time, I don’t think I should be forced to believe something that I genuinely don’t believe.I have refused to go to church for about a year now I’m 16 soon to be 17 she is calling the church pastor to even come by my house soon if I don’t believe again she says she will disown me

I always hated osman for the second marriage.

He promised Bala even if she couldn’t get kids he would accept her regardless and spend his entire life with her not only did he break but married Balas enemy at the time.I get it he is bey he needs a heir to replace his throne does being a leader mean being to people sticking their Noes in your business.I wish osman and Bala just adopted Ahmet alp Malhun Hatun was not only annoying but arrogant caused osman to lose so many of his soldiers by hiding dundar beys ring and was even bullying osman and Bala for letting traitors infiltrate their tribe.And then there’s umur bey who constantly dragged osman as a border leader always into trouble because of his stubbornness

Osman’s treatment of his Alps compared to Ertuğrul’s

One thing that bothers me about Kuruluş Osman is how differently Osman treats his Alps compared to his father Ertuğrul.
Ertuğrul was strict, but he treated his Alps like brothers and family. He could punish them or remove them from a position, but there was still a lot of trust, respect and affection between them.
Osman, on the other hand, sometimes treats his Alps much more harshly and violent. He slapped Göktuğ over the situation with Flatyos, and later Konur after the headquarters was raided. Konur was blamed after the raid meanwhile it was aktemurs fault.
I understand that Osman is the bey and the leader of his state and has to hold his men accountable, but the difference is he punishes his alps on rage not justice. Ertuğrul made his Alps feel like brothers fighting beside him; Osman sometimes makes them feel like soldiers who are afraid of making a mistake.
Do you guys think this is just a difference in their leadership styles, or was Ertuğrul simply better at building that brotherly bond with his Alps?

Does boruto actually consider kawaki still as his brother?

Even after everything he has done does he think when hinata and Naruto come out that they can all still eat at a table and think of each other as family??

Kurama’s Death Didn’t Need to Happen (Hot Take)

Honestly, I don’t think Kurama needed to die at all.

His character arc from being feared as a monster to becoming Naruto’s true partner even part of his family was already complete and one of the strongest emotional bonds in the whole series.

— Boruto was always going to surpass Naruto eventually, and that’s fine since it’s his story.

But Kurama’s death didn’t really add anything necessary. If anything, it would’ve been way more impactful if Naruto had gone with him in that moment, making it a true emotional ending to their bond.

Kishimoto messed up fr.

Could war arc Naruto actually defeat hashirama?

People say Six Paths Naruto easily beats Hashirama, but I don’t agree.

Hashirama already beat Madara with Perfect Susanoo and Kurama, which is an insane feat on its own. That version of Madara wasn’t weak at all.

Naruto has Six Paths power, Truth-Seeking Orbs and crazy speed, but Hashirama also has massive Wood Release, the Buddha statue, insane regen and stamina, and battlefield control that can overwhelm most opponents.

If Hashirama could handle Madara + Kurama + Susanoo, I don’t think it’s logical to say Naruto just low-diffs him. It feels way closer than people say.
