What would the question Be?

after you die. you will be asked four questions under ground.

1. who is your god?

2. who is your prophet?

3. what is your book?

4. what is your religion?

so like. did Muhammad exist before adam and eve? what about the people that came before islam. do they get an exception? how the hell do people believe that?

I recently have stepped away from islam due to personal reasons and since then nothing has really changed, but one aspect I can’t bring myself to do is eat pork willingly, I have had it by accident due to friends not realizing some food has pork but I have never willing went out to have one and the thought of it makes me feel wrong, as if it still is a sin

I am an Arab ex-Muslim from a conservative Muslim Arab country ( I still live in it )

I have visited London and Paris And I met with the Muslim communities there

Muslims living in the West are more radical and extremist than those of us who were raised and lived as Muslims in Islamic countries

Ever since I learned English and started listening to Islamic preachers in the West ( Such as Mohamed Hijab, Uthman Ibn Farooq, and others ) I found their rhetoric to be far more extreme and radical than ours they literally say things that are so extreme that, if voiced in my country they would land in prison

how the fuck that happened

And if you’ve read the Quran carefully, you’ll notice that he hated people who think. He only wanted people who would accept any information without questioning or verifying it.

Hi everyone.

I have formulated a personal theory: if a religion claims that God is All-Hearing, Merciful, and has given answers to everything, then a person who sincerely and honestly seeks these answers throughout their life must receive them. If there is only silence and logical contradictions, it is mathematically consistent to assume that no one is on the other end of the line.

As someone who loves physics, the "pain of having no evidence" creates a massive cognitive dissonance for me. I see that many theological arguments feel like circular logic designed to shield the system from criticism. For instance, the idea that "God hides the evidence as a test" sounds like a built-in defense mechanism. Furthermore, a Creator who demands absolute submission under the threat of eternal Hell, while refusing to explain the rules clearly to intelligent humans, looks more like an earthly monarch than an Absolute Sovereign.

I also noticed historical inconsistencies. Out of hundreds of thousands of Hadiths, people today only highlight a few metaphors that accidentally matched reality (like high buildings or the greening of Arabia), while ignoring many predictions that simply did not come true in due time (like the Hadith in Sahih Muslim about the Hour coming before a specific boy reaches old age).

I don’t want to rebel just for the sake of it, but my brain cannot accept dogmas blindly. How do you deal with this conflict between scientific analysis and faith? Is it possible that religion was simply invented by ancient humans to cope with the fear of death and to control society? I would love to hear your thoughts, especially from those with a background in science or philosophy.

im going to my out of state university soon with a full ride. my parents have no clue, and I wont tell them. I'm sneaking out the window in exactly 10 days from now and leaving for good at night. i booked my flight, soon my hotel while I wait for school to start. my parents are forcing me to go to community college so i have to do that for a week before I can move, so i still have to figure that out financially.

otherwise, im nervous af, and im scared about them seriously have heart attacks when they realize im gone even tho I'd be leaving a letter. im also scared about them pulling upto my school.

im excited and nervous. does anyone have tips for tsa, dorm products, dorm life, and all other things? I would also like to know how to go about my parents if they refuse to accept my decision and blow up my phone. I dont wanna block them I still love them deeply despite them being very controlling and possessive.

Guys this is my last post. I dont think i can go through everything right now.

With chemo and being homeless and being sick all the time.

I just can't.

I wanna say good bye to you guys because you guys are nice to me.

Good bye, may we encounter each other in another lifetime.

I’m so frustrated

21f, saudi, refugee in England since 17yr old

I was abused and threatened my whole life for expressing atheist views, not knowing what they were, only being a curious 7 year old. The curiosity grew, and so did the fear and the punishment.

At 13 I was going to be married off to my cousin

At 15 I was pulled out of school because of bullying from teachers, children, my parents being complained to. Only because I was not complacent and submissive enough for them

The truth of Islam, Sharia, Saudi, the Islam that people love to infantilize. I lived it. I lived through it. I escaped. I ruined my life. I am sick. I am estranged. And it was all for NOTHING

I’m not well enough to speak. I am traumatized. I am not OKAY. I am sick. I am weak.

I did not come out of this as a strong woman, I did not find my voice, I did not thrive.

I will never share my true story. Nobody will ever care. Nobody understands. I will die with it. And the cycle WILL CONTINUE

I came here to scream, because I just saw my friend, who is a white European girl, express her support to a very popular, very POWERFUL Islamic “resistance” group… and I’ve seen this time and time again.

I want to vomit, because I cannot say anything. Nothing I say will ever make sense to the ones who never LIVED IT.

When justice becomes a dirty word, nobody will ever seek it

And how did this little cult become an empire? It’s fucking insane.
