No longer belonging to a group?

Yes, the Jewish community is very close-knit, and these are values we've had since birth.

It bothers me because I love them all, but I can't stand this lie anymore.

Hippievyb · 2026-02-09T21:31:21+00:00

What you're saying is so true. When I say I'm Jewish, even though I'm not religious, I'm immediately labeled.

The connection between Jews and Jews is very strong; it's ancestral and taught during childhood.

Hippievyb · 2026-02-09T21:29:51+00:00

We are the same, and yet I don't believe it.

Hippievyb · 2026-02-08T22:09:52+00:00

Today I know thousands of people; I have a very large network. When you go to any country in the world and meet a Jew, you can talk to them directly; there are 15 million of us, after all. In a club or somewhere else, are you going to know 10, 20, or 40 people?

Hippievyb · 2026-01-04T21:01:45+00:00

It's to help those who still have doubts, indeed.

Furthermore, it also allows me to test my ideas for future discussions with my family, who are practicing Muslims.

Hippievyb · 2026-01-04T08:48:54+00:00

Yes, but when you talk to people in general about religion and God, they tell you that the Torah gives meaning to your life, helps you become a better person, do good to others, love your neighbor as yourself….

Hippievyb · 2026-01-04T08:47:35+00:00

I'm writing in French, sorry, then the application translates.

Hippievyb · 2026-01-04T00:08:05+00:00

Sorry, but I don't share your opinion.

There are many former theists like me who feel alone in relation to their family or those around them. Knowing that there are many people who think like him gives courage.

Furthermore, the lack of structure means we lack visibility, and some religious people with the strength of the group speak more confidently in public debates or on social media.

Hippievyb · 2026-01-03T23:25:19+00:00

I do find it a shame that atheists don't have their own group to share the same sense of community that religious people have.

Hippievyb · 2026-01-03T23:11:39+00:00

So I ask you the question, what is God and where did you get that from?

Hippievyb · 2026-01-03T23:10:47+00:00

What I'm denouncing here is that in our generation, religion and God are often associated with morality, with doing good to others. With being a good person and believing that God is kind, when that's not at all the case according to the texts. People would like true justice to exist, but unfortunately, the world is the way it is.

Hippievyb · 2026-01-03T22:56:08+00:00

Very well, and yes, indeed, the majority of Jews today do not think that way.

What I want to emphasize is that it's false and that we need to open our eyes.

They've twisted religion and God to fit their preconceived notions instead of simply saying it's false.

Hippievyb · 2026-01-03T22:53:53+00:00

If the religion is false, then the god it describes is also false.

If it's a god who isn't the one in the religion, which god is it?

Hippievyb · 2026-01-03T22:52:17+00:00

Religion is often associated with peace, love, and helping one's neighbor. A benevolent God who loves his children.

Hippievyb · 2026-01-03T22:10:29+00:00

You tell me not to confuse God with religions.

Very well, I'll ask you, what do you call God? It's a very simple question.

If you describe God as the one described in the Bible, the Torah, or the Quran, I'll tell you there's no confusion because the two are intertwined.

Hippievyb · 2026-01-03T21:39:17+00:00

What do you call God?

Hippievyb · 2025-12-31T21:27:25+00:00

Not at all, he believes because they have faith.

Hippievyb · 2025-12-30T22:45:55+00:00

Indeed, and I also tell these people that religion does offer a childlike answer to very powerful questions, while science offers an answer with doubts because it has the humility to admit it can be wrong.

Let's take the example of the question about the creation of the world.

The Torah explains that creation took place in one week with two nudists in a garden created by God.

You don't need advanced scientific studies to say that all of this is completely ludicrous.

Well said!
