Trump made more than 23,000 times the average earnings of Americans last year, where more than half of his take came from pointless crypto. MAGA, how does that sound? Are you enjoying the fact that almost certainly a predator is cashing in? All of this is disgraceful!

Being religious is like being in an abusive relationship. There’s not much to gain from it. There’s the fear. There’s the gaslighting. There are the false promises. There are the inevitable disappointments that follow.

All religions have fatal absurdities that work to debunk them. Jesus rose to the skies, in addition to being born to a virgin. Muhammad split the moon and rode a winged horse. Moses parted the Red Sea. There are the zoomorphic gods in Hinduism, in addition to the caste system. Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, allegedly vanished underwater for three days and survived. The “do nothing” philosophy of Taoism (Wu Wei) as a government policy says the best way to rule a country is to do absolutely nothing. And it goes on.

All religions are huge impositions on one’s life, like an abusive partner. There’s the wasted time and effort. There are the rules that you can’t question. There are the things you would not have otherwise done. There is the suppression of personal growth. There is the general disconnection from rational, informed people. For some, there is the control over what you wear. There is the ongoing denial that you are living a lie. For many, there is the eventual regret of not getting out sooner.

I came from Mormonism and Hinduism. I’ve had my fair share of religions, and I say stay away, my friends. It’s not worth it, no matter how likeable the new pope is. Be free. Embrace secularism and humanism.

Take care.

There is something that is rarely discussed: white flight. I am not saying every white family moving out of a multicultural area is racist. However, I would be negligent if I said white flight does not happen. It happens. It happens a lot. This form of white supremacy needs to be called out!

To the uninitiated, white flight is the departure of white residents from racially diverse urban areas to more homogenous, affluent suburbs. In other words, white flight is when white people move to whiter neighbourhoods in an effort to minimize coexisting with nonwhites, racist actions that are rarely called out, I am sad to say.

Now, before I go on this rant, I would like to offer this framing: a good many white people are not racist, thankfully. I will also bet that a good many of the Caucasian Redditors here will stand by my complaint in solidarity. However, there are a large number out there that give these good many a bad name. These bad apples come in many forms, but essentially you can classify them as either overt or covert racists. Your typical MAGA supporter or neonazi are on the overt side, while, for example, the white supremacist that says nothing racist but acts in subtle racist ways, such as engaging in white flight or staying distant from nonwhite acquaintances, is on the covert end, naturally. Overt racists tend to be right-wing, while covert racists can come from either side of the political spectrum, generally speaking.

With that said, I give overt racists more credit than the covert ones, simply because they are at least honest and open about their racism, while the covert racists will do just about anything to avoid being called out as racist but will still carry on with their white supremacy beliefs, happily. You know, they say it’s better to deal with the devil you know than the devil you don’t. I can stay clear of a MAGA goon or a neonazi, but I am none the wiser if the person next to me is a covert white supremacist.

While overt and covert racists can engage in white flight, covert racists do most of it, I reason. Sadly, there are way more covert racists out there than we would like to think. It is an epidemic, in a sense.

I bet half of the Redditors here can think of examples of white flight happening around them, if not to them.

White flight is disgusting. It is an evil that needs eradicating. The very premise of white flight is vomit-inducing.

This is a complaint about religion, so it may not appeal to everyone. However, it must be said: children are being brainwashed to love Jesus or Muhammad more than anyone else. That’s utterly traumatic. To degrade your love for your loved ones because of a cult leader is psychological abuse.

Please forgive me for being liberal enough to call Jesus and Muhammad cult leaders. How can I not be when we go by their words in this post? Those words are what basically all cult leaders say in a nutshell, really. How can I conclude that they were not cult leaders? I can’t. And I am sure many here are in the same position.

I understand this is going to be a divisive posts. Before detractors rinse me in the comments, please answer this question: “What did I say that was unreasonable?” Is it not traumatic and disorienting for a child to have to subordinate their love, for example, of their loving parents for a person they have never met? It’s messed up!

An informed ex-Muslim is to a Muslim what an astrophysicist is to a flat-earther. The divide is that vast, I am afraid.

I made a more generic post on r/atheism about this. You can find it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/s/IY3cjgsl0E

Islam holds back lives greatly. It makes believers live way more suboptimal lives, and that is a tragedy. Had they had the insight, knowledge and courage like you, they would be freer and live more optimal lives, but they are trapped in their lack of insight, knowledge and courage. It is a sad state of affairs, really.

The chasm separating the informed ex-Muslim and Muslim is very wide. It’s as if they are worlds apart.

Religions hold believers back greatly. Believers live more suboptimal lives. They think, feel and behave in ways that are ultimately saddening. It is a tragedy, in a sense. However, we must always remember the massive chasm that exists between an informed atheist and a believer. They are worlds apart.

Trump was meant to sign a landmark bill meant to lower housing costs, a bipartisan issue. He has now refused to do so unless his SAVE Act is passed, a desperate attempt to survive the midterms. This morally compromised person is holding the bill hostage when struggling Americans need it the most.

This is sickening!

Perhaps one of the most entitled people on earth are Zionists. Their deranged fixation on pushing the idea that Israel is a legitimate country because the whacky Torah said so is sickening. Their negativity reveals that deep down they know Israel is just a modern-day ethnofascist colonial regime.

If you really want to peeve off a Zionist with one word, just say “Nakba.” They will most likely be fuming. I made a post about the Nakba, and you can find it here to catch up: https://www.reddit.com/r/complaints/s/YF8Leuelg5

Basically, during the Nakba, which started in 1948, more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes, where millions of descendants live in camps around Israel to this day. About 15,000 Palestinians died. And that’s how Israel ‘gloriously’ basically became a country.

Now, I am in no way condoning the October 7th attack. It was horrible, and it should not have happened. However, I would be negligent if I didn’t talk about the brass tacks. Despite the cumulative Israeli death toll being unfortunately around 2,000, the Palestinian death toll exceeds 73,000, most of whom were women and children. In other words, for every Israeli death, at least 36 Palestinians died. Is this proportional warfare? I am inclined to say “no.”

Also, while Zionists are often racist and snappy when you tell them the ugly truths of Israel’s founding, I am not condoning that they should be hated. I feel they need mental health counselling and to face the facts: Israel is illegitimate.

I would be dishonest if I did not mention the Holocaust in all of this. It is really sad that millions of Jewish people died because of one horrible person. However, where the Jewish community largely started out as victims during and after World War Two, it ironically became a victimizer to another community, the innocent Palestinians. This is truly a tragic development. However, this must be said: just because you were victimized does not give you the right to victimize innocent parties. I am inclined to largely conclude that because the Jewish community was outraged by the Holocaust, there was this arrogance that sadly came about that emboldened it to take land that was never its to begin with. This arrogance exists to this day in Zionists, which makes them insufferable.

I know I will be called a Nazi or an antisemite in the comments, but I want to ask this question: what have I said that is not factual? I have laid out the ugly truths, and, yes, they can hurt some people, but they are meant to demystify crucial truths that put things into perspective.

As someone who has spent close to three decades in psychosis and spent close to two years thereafter to connect the dots about what happened, I can safely tell you that Muhammad was NEVER psychotic. He was simply a dramatic, deranged, selfish, imbecilic and pedophilic conman. Allow me to explain.

If you are interested in learning about my time in psychosis, please feel free to read my three letters to my psychiatrist. Mind you, they can be a bit harrowing to read, so reader’s discretion is advised. Though the read may be lengthy, I am confident many will find it eye-opening. The letters can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ETwV49NEY2Ii6__1eE_RfRKVvdsdpZbP/view?usp=drivesdk

Before I begin, I must admit that I was never a practicing Muslim. When I was in the acute stage of psychosis, I thought I was the archangel Uriel. I thought I advised Gabriel to talk to Muhammad for the first time. I thought I was one of the key players in Islam, so that’s the extent of my involvement with the religion to be honest. I apologize if I don’t fit the typical mold of an ex-Muslim.

Now, let’s turn to psychosis. Psychosis is a severe mental health condition that impacts how one thinks, feels and behaves. Essentially, when one is psychotic, they are not in control of themselves. Instead, their brain, with all of its automatic systems, lives as them.

Delusions are often symptoms of psychosis. They are fixed false beliefs that can greatly impact functioning down the line. If Muhammad were psychotic, he would have deteriorated to such an extent that he would have had a hard time holding down any role, let alone a prophet. He would have acted so outlandishly that no rational person would take him seriously, yet he fooled many people. He never had psychotic revelations: he was a poetic, self-serving liar.

Also, there were instances in Muhammad’s life where his ‘revelations’ were way too conveniently timed and self-serving, showing a level of rationality uncharacteristic of psychosis. For example, Aisha famously said to Muhammad, “I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires.” She said that because Muhammad just got a convenient ‘revelation’ that exempts him from spending an equal number of nights with his wives.

Another instance of a conveniently timed ‘revelation’ by Muhammad is the one about him marrying his legally adopted son’s wife, Zaynab bint Jahsh. After Zaynab divorced Zayd ibn Harithah, Muhammad had the hots for her. Soon after, Muhammad got the ‘revelation’ that there is no taboo if a father marries his legally adopted son’s ex-wife, and got the divine order that he must marry Zaynab, which he did.

Also, in Surah Al-Ahzab (33:50), the Quran outlines the marital boundaries for Muslim men, capping the number of concurrent wives at four. However, the same verse introduces a highly specific, unique exemption explicitly carved out for Muhammad alone. This ‘revelation’ is incredibly self-serving.

Another instance often pointed as overly self-serving is Surah Al-Ahzab (33:53), which establishes strict social etiquette for believers when interacting with Muhammad. The verse commands Muslims not to enter his house for dinner unless invited, not to linger too long talking afterward because it annoys him, and to speak to his wives only from behind a screen. Crucially, the verse concludes by permanently forbidding anyone from marrying Muhammad's wives after his death: "...And it is not right for you to annoy the Messenger of Allah or to marry his wives after him, ever. Indeed, that would be in the sight of Allah an enormity."

In psychosis, a subject’s revelations come from delusions and often hallucinations. The subject believes in these revelations so deeply that they will take them to destructive lengths, not for immediate payoffs. That’s the difference. Muhammad never took his revelations to destructive lengths against himself. He seemed to have held out just fine, from what I can see.

Also, a key symptom of psychosis is disorganized thinking, which is the marked reduced ability to produce coherent thoughts. Looking at the verses in the Quran, one can easily conclude that they at least stay on topic and don’t swerve off course that much. Mohammad seemed to always be coherent — otherwise, the Quran would be way more wayward than it is now. If Muhammad were psychotic, Quran verses would be way more confusing and incoherent with topics coming and going in haphazard ways.

Given the above, I can safely say that Muhammad NEVER was psychotic. If he truly were, he would have been such an utter wreck that no one would take him seriously. That’s what happens in acute psychosis. Plus, his ‘revelations’ were extraordinarily self-serving and yet largely coherent. This is more proof to support the claim that it would be giving Muhammad too much credit if he were thought of as psychotic. He was just a horrible person, purposely.

While there is buzz about Elon being a trillionaire, there is nowhere near enough talk about what he really is: a racist mass murderer. His hand in gutting USAID caused the deaths of at least one million poor coloured people, two-thirds of whom were children under five. And more are going to die.

I made a post on Trump being a mass murderer not too long ago. It can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/complaints/s/FFiPDrGEbM

Now, I turn to Elon. This man has a lot of blood on his hands, especially the blood of impoverished coloured children. It is undeniable, as I will show.

To those who say I am crazy for levying such an accusation against Elon, let me ask you this question: for every death caused by the gutting of USAID, who was a part of starting the consequential chain of events? Elon, the guy who was spearheading the cutting of the supposed fat in the US government, is a name that often surfaces. Actually, his name surfaces a lot. Elon was the biggest player, apart from Trump.

Is Putin not a mass murderer? He has caused close to two million preventable deaths across both sides of the conflict, even though he used others to do his dirty work. So too, Elon can be seen the same way. Elon is a mass murderer.

At the current rate, by early 2027, Elon’s death toll will surpass Putin’s, meaning an additional million poor coloured people will die.

Like Trump, Elon has a ‘unique’ achievement: he is one of the most prolific child killers in recent history. At least 600,000 poor coloured children have died because of him. These are staggering numbers! And to think that a trillionaire caused this. The utter injustice here cannot be overstated.

These two verses are, I feel, among the most disturbing in the Qur’an. It says that believers, sitting on comfortable couches, will be so deranged that they will laugh at the disbelievers suffering horribly in hell. The supposedly holy Qur’an encourages schadenfreude. Let us never forget this!

Hell, according to Islam, is not a pleasant place. Having hot liquid metal poured into your ear constantly is extreme suffering, and it would be absolutely psychotic for someone to laugh at you while you are going through the torture. Yet the Qur’an says the believers will laugh at you. How sickening is that? I say very. These two verses are dark on so many levels.

There’s a horrendous truth about Trump: he is a mass murderer. Because of his decision to gut USAID, more than one million poor people have died as a result so far, two-thirds of whom were children under five. By early 2027, Trump will have caused more preventable deaths than Putin.

Think about it. Trump gutting USAID made him a mass murderer. He is as much of a murderer as Putin. In early 2027 when Trump will surpass Putin in causing more preventable deaths, Trump, at this rate, will have killed way more children than Putin, making him the most prolific child killer since Hitler. It makes you think, doesn’t it?

Trump, like Putin, is a mass murderer on track to be the biggest in recent history. Surpassing Putin is no easy task, as he is responsible for as many as close to two million preventable deaths so far, but more children will die because of the gutting of USAID, sadly.

Also, the fact that Trump almost certainly sexually abused minors with Epstein’s knowledge adds more insult to injury. To think a likely predator causing so many child deaths exists boggles the mind. There are layers of darkness here, and it all centres around Trump.

Putin is so pathetic and cruel. Even his disabled soldiers have to deal with the meat grinder. Even they cannot know respite, but likely death. Close to two million people across both sides have died for just one man’s ego. Putin, you already have enough land with just Russia. You are truly insane!

How many more people must die to satisfy Putin? How many more puppets must he install to spread his corruption? When will Putin know that he has made Russia an absolute disgrace to the world?

I estimate that Trump is responsible for at least one million deaths primarily due to his gutting of USAID. Putin is close to doubling that.

Putin, like Trump, will go down in history as a mass murderer— the biggest one at that.
