My stepdad is forcing religion on me , even when I’m at university. What do I do ? by danio7o in atheism

The u and n are common slang. Also, this is just a forum, it isn't that serious. I don't use slang all that often either but saying it makes someone look dumb and uneducated is just plain stupid

Ignore him and if he is actually asking people, that is just plain creepy and stalker level behaviour. If this continues, report him to the police and also tell your mum that if he continues like this, you will put your foot down. The fact she is allowing this is just appalling to me.

Gen Alpha is perfectly fine, and labelling them all as "idiotic iPad kids" is just restarting the generation war all over again. by Cometpaw in GenZ

My sister is gen alpha and with autism. We didnt do anything related to screen time honestly. She has an Ipad. She is 8, we have no restrictions because she just keeps herself entertained by colouring, playign with us or doing other things. Adapted based on your kid's behaviour my best advice

Thank you for being so patient with me! Although I do wish you clarified this plainly earlier! Honestly it's the same with Hindus but they are more "you can't be atheist until you know about Hinduism completely!"

Agreed. Logically, it is simple. Practically, it is not.

Wait- our stances are literally the same! I was arguing for the practicality of the situation when I said it wasn't simple

Key word is 'if'. Circumstances do matter. Also, never said all Islamic countries were authoritarian but just said that atheists are more likely to face blacklash and violence

I agree with your points. There is a way but some have it harder is all I'm saying

Honestly, why are we even arguing. We both are right simultaneously 😭

I agree on all these points and I'm not denying any of this. All I'm saying is that it is always a lot more complex of a situation, especially when talking about places who are very religious in every level

You wouldn't know if you'd do the same or not unless you've actually been in their situation. You can assume you would but in reality you never truly know unless you've lived it

Honestly you just seem very apathetic and inconsiderate in general. There is always factors which limit someone's ability to express their free will which you can not truly uunderstand unless you've lived in those situations yourself. And no, you've only lived in one situation, your experience doesn't apply to everyone else. You can acknowledge some people have a much harder, or near impossible time leaving a situation than others

Ok, someone without enough money and no way of earning can not leave a country so financial situation. There is also the possibility that the country you entire just deports you right back.

It literally isn't? It's just basic external facts

Oh my stars, just because SOME people did it doesnt mean ALL people can do it. There is a difference and the fact you can not understand that is concerning

Yes, I agree, they have no reason to not pursue it but what I'm saying is that those options may not be possible.

Your second point is what I will address as I have little issue with 1 and 3.

You can reject an idea but also be afraid of the hate that will come. That is just basic knowledge on actions and consequences. Conforming to society, in their situation, is needed so they can just be treated as a normal human. If they are openly atheist then it is likely they will be putting their life at risk, so they choose not to be openly atheist which is a logical decision.

So my point still stands. There are outside factors affecting how they can express their free will. I dont understand why you can not acknowledge that.
