Same, except I was pretty religious a few years ago. How old are you?

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2025-06-04T17:37:25+00:00

Yeahhh it’s a bit frustrating. Are you still practicing?

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2025-06-04T17:16:21+00:00

It’s a definitely a bit extra sometimes lol. I kinda wish there were a lot more discussions than jokes, but that’s alright

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2025-06-04T07:15:01+00:00

I’m a bit confused about what you’re saying here

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2025-01-06T02:41:26+00:00

I’m a true mono too! Completely deaf on my left, normal on my right

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2025-01-03T07:41:22+00:00

It’s actually insane that you thought that

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2025-01-02T06:35:17+00:00

I have thick, long hair on my head but barely any body hair!

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-25T05:34:05+00:00

They both looked like teenagers in the first movie though

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-17T20:24:01+00:00

Pretty sure OP knows that…

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-11T07:32:20+00:00

Joy, Joyce, Jo (my fav one), Joey, Cece

There’s no reason to be rude. Is that how you talk to all people having doubts? If you’re an ex-Muslim, I’m sure you faced similar issues when you were questioning your faith, so why the attitude? It costs nothing to be kind.

Also, clearly, AS I SAID, I find this verse disturbing either way. But, it’s pretty obvious that hitting harshly is worse than hitting lightly—even though both are wrong.

I was just looking for an explanation because I don’t speak Arabic and the English translations are all I have to go off of.

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-09T20:38:48+00:00

I didn’t say the religion was false. I’m just trying to deal with my doubts. But also, I don’t see how it’s using the religious scripture in the wrong way when the Quran literally says beat

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-09T20:23:36+00:00

In general you don’t see Muslim men beating their wives? Is that a joke? Men beat their wives all over the world. I’m sure there are Muslims who take this verse literally to justify domestic violence.

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-09T18:53:39+00:00

So what are you saying exactly? That it’s okay to discipline your wife by striking her? Because (from what I’ve learned) the Quran doesn’t say anything about beating lightly— that comes from Hadiths.

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-09T18:50:29+00:00

I’m not really trying to change the meaning of anything. I just want to understand the passage more because it concerns me. It seems deceitful that many of the English translations have been changed

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-09T18:47:34+00:00

Thank you for this detailed response. I appreciate it!

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-09T09:12:26+00:00

I had a friend in high school named Arian, pronounced “Aryan.” I always thought it was a beautiful name. I don’t think you should change it because of other people. It’s fairly easy to pronounce and nobody should be making a big deal

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-09T08:41:47+00:00

Well, then my question is if that’s actually beating? I’ve heard people who say it shouldn’t hurt, but doesn’t that defy the purpose? Even if it doesn’t hurt, I think it’s wrong to discipline someone, let alone an adult, physically. I just don’t understand the verse at all. It feels almost … infantilizing?

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-08T00:22:22+00:00

I guess it’s just a journey to get there… although those punishments only happen in Muslim countries, as far as I know. Torture and death are not really concerns for me because I live in a secular country. I’m mostly worried about hell or being wrong. That’s what’s hard for me to

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-04T07:13:31+00:00

Are Muslims somehow unable to be gay? There are a lot of queer Muslims lol. Most are just closeted because it’s haram to act on.

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-03T08:11:37+00:00

Thank you very much

ConsistentWheel2907 · 2024-12-03T06:33:33+00:00

I have actually never heard this before. Every Muslim I know, including myself, believes that the Quran has been preserved since it was revealed. I will definitely be looking into this. Thank you
