So, my fellow atheists.. on what day/age/time did you decide.. "Fuck it we Ball, I am an Atheist now".
For me, it was 16 May 2014, when I was 5 years old.. if you get the reference that is 😉
(Don't know what's the appropriate flair 😭)
​
I became an atheist at the age of 14. And I kinda told my family, who were already pretty religious. Like I had to go to mosque daily , four times(morning/subh wasn't that emphasised). And afterwards they became even more strict and observational. The day I told them my mom cried. Dad was on the brink of it. It was a painful sight. Now they still know I am an atheist, but still makes me go to mosque. It kind of feels like they think that if they ignore it hard enough I won't be anymore. And they use arguments like what do you loss from going, or you are just immature now.
Every time they say these kinds of things I can see what lies behind it. Years , lifetime of devotion.even though these arguments are simple, and easily reputable, I can't refute them. Cuz of i do , it'll break them.theirs is a worldview build around that one fact. Everything in their world and life was based on that fact. But now I am rejecting the foundation of their worldview. So can someone please tell me how to tell them that I don't believe what they do without breaking their heart or their worldview completely?
So, what's your opinion in reading other religious books, for me.. I feel like, I am okay reading the books of religions, why?
What would be your reasons? Anyway, I'd like to read the holy book of mawdi ji 🤤
As the title says, but it's fine because it's for the scholarship in the basis of religion
do you celebrate or not
I have been asking this question for a long time, since like I was 14 and now I'm 18.
4 years passed in a flash, lots of shit happened, my attention towards this topic dwindled because there were no answers and even more so questions!
To me god has never meant anything, it was a fanatasy to me that other people loved to live in, to me all of that sounded bs. Even to this date it sounds bs!
Any arguments that were put forwards in favour of gods were no facts and all speculations! I have watched many debates, there were all kinds of people in the debates I watched there PHD holders, high IQ people, dumb even, illiterate, even a god damn toddler(yea sorry)! But everything they said were only to be taken at face value!
The arguments made in favour of atheism were the most factualy and actually making sense, but even then there were stupid people that put up stupid arguments. I realized something in my later years.
Faith cannot be forced, religion is dumb though 100% but other than religion the concept of god is vast because there are no ends to speculations.
My personal opinion: I don't believe in god, even if there's a god I refuse to believe in something that has no effect on my life whatsoever. Now if god truly exist, then it isn't a self consious being. People refer to god as someone who created us and the universe, but what exactly created the universe? Big bang? Does that means that's a god or the god? You cannot prove any arguments made on god 100% false neither can you prove any of the arguments to be 100% factual and true!
God is speculations that we have about it, that's my concluson
So I believe in God but I don't believe in superstitions... Acc to me God exists and he helps me whenever I need him... This doesn't mean he should or have to help everyone present in this world... At some points in my life, I lost every hope in God But only in those difficult times he has helped me... When I need him I don't lit a diya... rather I just remember him from deep inside of my heart ... I believe he is with us inside our soul. He has stayed with me in my most difficult times, and I am even grateful towards him. To repay this gratitude I go to the temple and help the needy ones there at least once in a month... I think God is happy with this. When I see those happy faces, I believe he is smiling at me.
After saying all this I am not saying any of u to believe in him or do what I am doing. Since I Saw this sub so just came here to rant something. Thats it .
I allow u all to put your opinions but please don't disrespect or hurt me and him. 😊
Something something language also evolves with people and needs
Religious people claim to be spiritually high and peaceful all the time but if you just give them a little freedom then all they wanna do is takeover the world and convert everyone which is kinda funny in itself lol. They want everyone to follow their sky daddy and fairly talk except themselves.
What's ur opinion on it?
BITSAT ka preference form btw lol
there r various religions practiced around the world .people may blindly believe them or doesnt follow them at all .what r ur thoughts on today's religious practices n functioning ?
