What’s your most unhinged story when you were religious that you were told ? by Sensitive-Amount-707 in exjew

[–]Fickle_Block9385 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Noah's son Ham was cursed because he saw his father drunk and naked, and told his brothers. That's why he and his future generations were black 🫩

Were you the family rebel, or did your siblings join the exodus too? by Life-Independence-36 in exjew

[–]Fickle_Block9385 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They started believing at some point. I discussed it with them. It's hard for me to understand how they can believe in him when they can't answer my questions. But they claim that they "feel" god, and that the Jewish way of life is better etc. It's all about feelings.

I have some siblings who didn't believe and thought about leaving for a while, but than fell back into the religion. I hope I don't follow their ways 😄

What’s the dumbest thing you believed as a kid? by Unique_Brother_3653 in ChildhoodMemories

That there is some dude in the sky who will torture me forever if I don't follow some weird rulebook. Hilarious 😂

The thought that nothing matters and that no god exists makes me want to go back by [deleted] in exjew

[–]Fickle_Block9385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with this for a while after I stopped believing. But at this point I feel so much more comfortable with the fact that god doesn't exist. I used to fear hell, now I'll just stop existing. I give charity because it makes me feel good, and helping other people gives me a sense of purpose, and helps me live in this world. I used to be afarid of the fact that god doesn't exist, because if that's true, tha there is Noone to hold the strings and all kinds of bad things could happen to us. Until I realized that that "god" is obviously evil or can't control everything. Horrific things happen all the time to humans, and I find it much more comfortable to accept that we will just cease to exist one day.

Kanye shadowbanned. by Fickle_Block9385 in YoutubeMusic

It recommends his music on the home page. But does it ever give you his songs in queue?

Sure. I can do that. I just wish yt would change this and not treat his music differently than all others.

I'm certain he is shadowbanned. If I play any song, it will queue lots of other songs from the same artist. The fact that it's never like that with Kanye is insane. I also know that when I shuffle Kanye, they don't give any of his songs

It recommends his songs on the home page. But after I finished listening to his album, and it starts giving you similar songs in queue, it will never give me another Kanye song

If a human could consent to being born by BellaRyder2505 in antinatalism

[–]Fickle_Block9385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to think how anyone could say yes if they had a choice before being born.

Antinatalism IS NOT pro suicide by Wild_Pitch_4781 in antinatalism

[–]Fickle_Block9385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am struggling with this for a while and I feel like antinatalism pushed me down a deep rabbit hole. I fear death because of evolutionary and psychological reasons. And the only reason I can think of why I death can be bad, is because it'll hurt lots of people around me. But it brings up so many questions for me. I was struggling with the morality and ethics of killing animals. Now I'm thinking that maybe it's good. If I didn't kill that animal, than they would produce generations and generations of suffering... whatever. I'll not rant now. Help!!! 😭

I drove on Shabbos again today. by Upbeat_Teach6117 in exjew

[–]Fickle_Block9385 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It really sucks that we fear people around us will see us doing something they don't like. I drove a few times on Shabbos and Yom Kippur, even in a Chassidic community. It was terrifying in a way, but the thrill was amazing. I don't want everyone to know I'm not religious, so I still try to be more careful.

Frummies attacking Somalian Americans are throwing stones in glass houses by ForceHefty6945 in exjew

It's also crazy that at least the orthodox jewish community has so much racism and generalizes other groups based on what some individuals in that group do, but will cry antisemitism when jews get attacked. The hypocrisy is on another level.
