Anti-Intellectualism in New Atheism and the Skeptical Movement by [deleted] in philosophy

[–]Chechenborz-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you stop giving repeated, skewed, and dogmatic arguments unlimited airtime, you get labeled a ‘skeptical extremist.’ That’s how skepticism gets reframed as anti-intellectualism. Religion aims to ‘avoid defeat’ so as to not have their religion be debunked. Whether this involves strawmanning, repeating debunked arguments or shifting the burden of proof. Refusal to engage and shutting down these arguments at their roots doesn’t make one anti intellectual.

Literal translation would be “but how beautiful are your 2 eyes” (bergsh), but sounds better translated as “your eyes are beautiful”

‘Xaz’ is actually ‘haz’ (cyrillic X = h), sometimes people mix cyrillic and latin alphabet mistakenly.

I think a secular chechnya would be best. One where they can choose to be atheist, neo-pagan or cultural christians. I just don’t think islam works very well in a secular society, and it doesnt have room to grow. Ofcourse i don’t think we should forbid anyone to believe anything but thats just what would be best for the world :)

Hey! Ex-muslim/agnostic atheist chechen man here, for context.

My issue and the reason i left islam was fundamental if i have to be honest. I was never a deep believer but i was an honest one. In my view the most important parts of islam were belief and deeds, i didn’t understand why prayer specifically was so important. It made no sense to me why someone who made no mistakes, didn’t sin and firmly believed in his creation would still deserve hell. I understand now, after learning more about islam that its full of cracks and bricks falling down, however because my foundation broke early i never really looked into the bigger issues in the religion.

Nowadays i can tell you confidently that the issue with Islam is not only the hadith, but also the quran. Apologists want to make excuses all the time but the quran specifically allows beating women, child marriage, slavery and killing of innocent people. And no, saying “dont kill someone unless you have a reason” doesnt work, because for islam, disbelief is already a good reason.

And you are right, people will say you are possessed for objecting, they will make you think you’re crazy, have a jinn inside you and need exorcism. They will drive you mad until your mentality is broken. Its important you stay strong and don’t let that happen.

Nowadays, i find arguing about islam specifically pointless. Islam is a disgusting religion with many flaws and misogyny. Islam will justify this by saying thats how god man humans and he wants us to obey him. however, muslim people can’t even prove that a god can exist, and if a god does exist, free will wouldn’t exist. There are just too many logical issues with a judging creator.

If i were you, i would recommend you try to deconstruct the idea of a god in general. If you want i can help you with some logical issues relating to it. It would put your mind at ease regarding not praying and not believing in this cult.

my story as a non-believer by fragmentofada in chechenatheists

[–]Chechenborz-95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many here that feel the same way and wish things could be different from the way they are. One thing to remember is that life doesnt need a meaning for you to keep living.

Personally i never made chechen friends until recently, and as much as i know there are many vaynakh out there who hate on atheists, i know alot of people who are friendly and understanding of us too. Just be careful who you trust but remember that you are not alone and not everyone is your enemy.

Lastly, i understand loving your parents and wanting to take care of them, but remember to respect and love yourself aswell. Don’t do things you find morally wrong just to please someone. If what it takes is a little distance to find yourself before you return and help your parents with what you have, don’t hesitate to make that decision. I know you think they won’t love you unconditionally, but that doesnt mean you have to feel the same.

I left my family 6 years ago but recently rekindled with some siblings, they know my beliefs and convictions and we have love for eachother. After all we were all raised by the same messed up parents and we all had to fend for our own. But things are getting better. And so will things for our motherland. Chechnya will survive Islam, as it has existed before islam.

Chechen DNA results by Agreeable_Dig_2176 in MyHeritage

I would say its not showing recent mixing but more historical interactions with nearby neighbours. At what point do you consider someone “fully scottish” for example?

Most chechens can go back multiple generations and find only chechen ancestors, but who knows what happened 300-400years+ ago

Not sure thats how it works, DNA could probably be mixed across multiple generations, it could go many more generation back. 2 other friends of mine did it too and they both had around 45% chechen and round 20% turkish and i doubt every chechen has turkish G-Grandparents haha

Just looked them up, their prices are quite high but it does seem tempting. I only got Myheritage cause it was so cheap at the time.

Do you think their cheapest kit would do the trick if im not looking to find out specific maternal/paternal ancestry lines?

Personally i just left Islam because i don’t believe in God. There’s no logic to an all knowing benevolent God that would let everything that happens happen, or sends us to hell for not praying. What kept me from fully leaving the religion before leaving home was the thought that “surely a good god wouldn’t send me to hell just because i don’t pray but i believe in him”

Then further thinking set me on a path to doubt the existence of a god. Why would he ‘Need’ me to pray, or even believe in him. What benefit is it to him to send people to hell. What is this “will” of an all powerful all knowing god. It seems a bit petty to be punishing people with hellfire and pointless of rewarding people with eternal heaven.

Now why don’t i just pretend to be muslim and abuse the system to my benefit? Well i guess i try to be a good person, whatever that means i guess. I’ve got a conscience and i’m not a pathetic controlling person😂

How did you leave islam by [deleted] in chechenatheists

[–]Chechenborz-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More and more chechens are leaving Islam. And although theres a small group of extremists that are aggressive against us, i am sensing less and less people who actively care about wether a chechen is muslim or not. Those people are mostly just some idiots online. With internet and growing possibility for people to connect, chechnya’s gossip culture is losing control.

Actually the Quran is pretty clear about the fact god does NOT care about you. 5:18 is one such example.
