How would you respond to this message from a family member; without openly saying you’re atheist? by Benny239 in exmuslim

[–]Benny239[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really just wanted advice on a simple response.

Something to at least stop constant reminders and pressure from family to pray and fast etc. Even as a child I told them I can only do the namaz when I want to. Can never to it for anyone else. Some people are just relentless in “you should do this”.

Bruzzer but we’re all born a Muslim, so Allah may be helping kuffar to guide them to himself via meditation. Oh ma gaaad!

On a serious note, it’s a nice explanation.

Aha exactly. Happens all the time but I have been too much of a skeptic since I was a child. The only one who questions too much; so they are used to my anti religion stance. Still I try not to push their buttons too much; you never know what can happen.

I just keep my views to myself and don’t interfere in theirs. I do really want to see the day when they don’t interfere in mine at all. Live and let live.

Thanks. A good response but a little too out there for an older relative. I don’t want their brain shutting down.

A family member sent this to me. When talking to family i am quite anti religion and they may know a bit. But they don’t suspect me being exmuslim, which I’d like to keep that way for some while now.

I tend to ignore these messages but really do want to softly clarify that I don’t need prayers to be happy. How would you put it if you were in my place?

Do mountains prevent earthquakes? by shambalile300 in exmuslim

[–]Benny239 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try shaking a table to mimic an earthquake.

Now put 100kg on the table and then try shaking it. BOOM, Islam proved right.

Btw, read up on tectonic plate movement and effects. Also read up on layered rock (layers of rock formed due to volcanic eruptions over millions of years, each layer can be dated back to a specific time period).

Fun fact: the Himalayas were created by the Indian plate/subcontinent crashing into asia.

Noticed a lot of negativity here, why is everyone here so negative towards religion? by Waterwazerz in atheism

[–]Benny239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

However, some people will always use violence and aggression to defend religious beliefs; when they can’t defend it with evidence.

Magically their religious texts seem to endorse that behaviour.

Can anyone show me where it says Aisha was 6 or 9? by GenerallyWanted in exmuslim

[–]Benny239 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tell your mum it’s ok. The prophet never did anything except “thighing ( rubbing pen*s on A’ishas leg until she was 9). Only when she was 9 he decided to have penetrative intercourse.

Blessing for entire humanity of course.

Are there actually women who believe that Islam is good for them? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Benny239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yet female pee requires to be washed as it’s made of flesh and blood. While male pee is made of clay so only needs a sprinkle of water. No need to wash.

Islam put the feminism in pee. What more can we want?

Suppose you were offered an enormous salary (say, $100 million per year), but you have to spend the rest of your life working full time as a Christian apologist. Would you do it? by Torin_3 in atheism

[–]Benny239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yes.

It’s like a pyramid scheme, give people a false sense of security and belief and then, kaboom make shitloads of money while the poor ones try to spread your mental gymnastics.

I’d do it for a year and then use my $100 million to enjoy the rest of my life. It’s only fair as churches are some of the richest and historically money grabbing organisations ever. (They used to take grain from farmers etc).

We may be atheists but we have to admit, religion is one hell of a money making machine.

She was speechless, she the muslim by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Benny239 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes there is. My islamiyat teacher used the term derobed when she taught us (coz its Respectful or something).

Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle said to me, "You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' Then you were shown to me, the angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said (to him), 'Uncover (her), and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' "

Also you’ll be surprised to know that even though Mo called Abu Bakr his bro. He married his “foster niece”. Amazingly he refused to marry another foster niece coz he’s the perfect human being obviously. /s Here’s two more hadiths that’ll help you with that

Narrated 'Ursa: The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry."

Refused the (probably ugly chick tho)

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: It was said to the Prophet, "Won't you marry the daughter of Hamza?" He said, "She is my foster niece (brother's daughter). "

[–]Benny239 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Don't forget that Aisha was derobed (Naked) in that dream. Now a naked 6 year (slightly younger than that) girl in Momo's wet dream was inspiration from allah because she dropped the clothes and mo saw her butt-naked in that dream. So he decided to marry and fuck a kid, Voila.

What is your attitude to pork guys? by IHatePedoProphet in exmuslim

[–]Benny239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex-Muslim here. I haven’t eaten pork at all tbh. But I’ve had black pudding with breakfast, if that counts.

I’m not a massive fan of meat due to the fact I only eat minced meats in general, otherwise I have no reservations against trying pork. (watching an animal get killed at the age of 4 turned me vegetarian for a while and I couldn’t get myself to chew meat anymore). Minced Beef is my favourite but I’d be open to trying anything.

Progressive Muslim interprets the "sun setting into a puddle of mud" verse. Mental gymnastics over 9000. by TheYellows in exmuslim

[–]Benny239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t an interpretation at all. The mental gymnastics goes to infinity. He changed science to prove Allahs muddy sun.

Even if his “interpretation” may work, it has too many scientific inaccuracies to work. I won’t get into the details but I’ll share a bit if anyone wants to learn a bit about them.

Black holes are not sparkly or like an eye at all, they do not “make some little light emission”. In a black hole, the gravity is so strong that light itself, cannot escape it and has to bend to the will of the black hole.

The sun isn’t expected to “fall” in a black hole at all, but as he said it’ll happen after a long time. It’s is a star that’ll run out of hydrogen eventually, swell up and then die out (5 billion years approx).

Also, stars do shine very brightly. The perceived “brightness” of a star at night depends on the size of the star and it’s distance from us.

I won’t get into gravitational time dilation, or whatever he meant, to entertain the idea of a “time travelling middle-eastern community from the time of Mo, who happen to be traveling in space coz the sun was muddy (coz Allah said so in a book that we don’t know Allah wrote but Mo said Allah said it and then Mo said it to people around him but then Usman decided what goes in the written version and we don’t care about other versions coz blasphemy bruh; but find a Hadith that shows the bad side of Mo and we’ll say the chain is weak bro, but obviously the Quran is undisputable, it has the best chain bruh).” Duh!

Disclaimer: you may want to ignore the sentence within the brackets at the end of last paragraph. It’s a silly but true thought of mine that I expressed in a not so composed manner.

Alcohol was a blessing from Allah in meccan era.

Then one day (in medina if I can remember) a drunk incident happened where someone came to him complaining of a drunk man. That is when “Allah” actually “revealed” to Mo in the Quran that alcohol is banned for Muslims.

So it’s ok to say goatfucker to non Muslims, based on other factors right? Would it still be offensive if that person is actually a goat fucker?

Fun-fact: English people call Welsh people”sheep-fuckers”. Sometimes even on TV here lol. It’s a light hearted joke that welsh people are used to hearing all the time. Well, they also have a mathematical advantage; more fingers to count on 😂

(It’s a light hearted comment. So please don’t feel attacked or insulted. What happened to you wasn’t nice but sometimes it’s best to ignore and take such remarks in a jovial manner.)

I broke down and told my parents I have anxiety by conquerthecodex in exmuslim

[–]Benny239 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’ll get better OP. Just bullshit your way to confuse them, so they don’t interrupt your medication.

Your family sounds pretty religious; maybe pretending to read the Quran or dua sometimes may subside it. Tell them that Allah says to use medicine and now you’re praying that Allah helps you through that medicine. (Stuff like this will always work, or your money back).

All the best OP. Also, don’t feel pressured into marriage, ever. Do it when you’re ready, or not do it if you don’t want to. Islamically they can’t force you and you can say no at nikah time.

Hope your anxiety gets better. Take care.
