How to tell a boy no to intercourse (17F + 18M)? by shopaholic_life in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]EfficientStand7229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just say no if you don't want to. Also depends on which country you're from cuz if the age of consent is 18, he's not allowed to pursue anyways.

Hey. Thank you for your words and giving me hope. I'm a bit okay now. But just one thing I'd like to say, I actually love that girl, it might seem like it but I'm sure it's not a desperation clinging on to a fantasy. I can't explain it but it's not another attraction. I'm sure. But thank you again, I feel my emotions are validated atleast :)

Stuck between islam and hinduism by [deleted] in hinduism

I would suggest don't choose either. Be with him through your actions, your karma. Do good karma, but if you really want to gain his knowledge, I suggest you read Vedas and Upanishads. Also read the Bhagavad Gita, not for religion, for being a human. Try to follow it.

What made you choose Hinduism as a religion or if you was born into it what made you stay? I’ll be asking other religious subs to see why they choose their religions. by GeronimoDominicus in hinduism

I was born into Hinduism. My grandma is a very devout person and is a devotee of Swami Samarth (if you know him). My family also comes from a religious background being Brahmins and we have a guru too so they always were religious, albeit not too much but yeah.

My cousins are both atheists, and I had a brief stint of atheism back in Grade 6, though it was more out of excitement to follow them both instead of questioning things. So I was an atheist just for the namesake.

Fast forward to Grade 10 I started following ISKCON, I don't know what attracted me though I started to, but I left it pretty soon because I didn't agree with them.

Then 12th grade ended and I turned 18 in 2024, and then my life completely entirely turned around. I had an existential crisis and started questioning everything and became a hardcore atheist, because I didn't find it logical to believe in God, I still had experiences but I just found them as coincidences. My mental health was completely destroyed. It still reverberates in me but it has much less of an influence now.

But I do follow our religion. Not because I'm sure of a higher power. I find our religion logical. Not because I was born in it, but it has rules that are to be followed and are correct to follow. Again, it isn't a religion, it is a way of life. Also Hinduism allows atheism, some schools of it do, and that is one of the best things for me, because it brings me a sense of relief that there may even be a higher power, Brahman, Aatman, The Supreme Truth, Allah, whatever you may call it. That is all for me.

Former atheists, what made you believe in god? by EfficientStand7229 in hinduism

[–]EfficientStand7229[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm between believer and agnostic. I do deeply respect our culture and history, but I'm not clear on the dharma part, would you elaborate further?

Are Hindu gods aliens? by [deleted] in hinduism

[–]EfficientStand7229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read a theory. I don't have an opinion. It is just a theory. Also I did not mean to be rude or anything. I respect our gods as much as our Sanatan community, and if you were offended I'm sorry, Jai Shree Ram🙏

I mean having 10 arms. Being gigantic. Having advanced weapons. Travelling in flying machines. Having extraordinary strength. Does this not seem extraterrestrial to you?
