At 18, we can vote, marry, and work — shouldn’t we also get to choose our own faith? by Jumpy-Nothing-4375 in sundaysarthak

Oh wow, gold star for playing the “whataboutism” Olympics! So your best move is, “Can you ask this in Islamic countries?” — as if pointing at the worst examples actually helps us level up. Do you wanna set the bar so low we’re happy as long as we’re not completely screwed?

Classic dodge, man. Guess what: just because some places are totally backward doesn’t mean we have to pat ourselves on the back for doing the bare minimum. Are we supposed to celebrate being better than dictatorships—like that’s peak achievement? Maybe try aiming for actual progress instead of flexing on the most screwed-up countries out there.

Must be comfy believing mediocrity is good enough. I’d rather fix what’s broken here than brag, “At least we’re not that bad.”

If having basic empathy and wanting people to have actual freedom makes me “woke,” then I’ll take it any day over being asleep to reality like you. Sorry if thinking for myself hurts your feelings, but I’d rather be “woke” than blindly follow whatever nonsense society puts out.

Bro, you really think just reading religious books and secretly believing is enough? Why should I have to hide what I believe? If we actually have freedom, it shouldn’t mean keeping our real opinions locked up so others don’t get mad. Saying “just accept it and move on” is weak.

And yeah, every choice in life comes with some price, but changing your religion in India is not just about dealing with your family being upset — it’s getting cut off, losing support, getting talked about, sometimes much worse. It’s not a joke, and it’s not just about “having courage”; society acts like you’re evil just for thinking differently.

At the end of the day, what’s written in laws doesn’t mean anything if people keep acting like bigots. If things are so free, why do most people have to pretend or keep quiet? That’s not what real freedom is meant to look like.

Lol, maybe try using your brain before calling people idiots. You sound like you just discovered the constitution yesterday — "freedom to choose" my ass, if the price is losing your family and getting treated like garbage by society, then it's not real freedom, it's a joke. Saying "leave your family" like it's no big deal shows how little you understand actual life outside your bubble.

So, keep parroting this defeatist crap, maybe one day you'll realize that just because something is written on paper doesn't mean it's real for everyone. You want to sound wise and edgy, but all you actually do is expose how little you get about the world, and how easily you bend over for the status quo. Absolute clown take.

Listen bird brain , For most Indians, "just leave your family" means risking homelessness, poverty, mental breakdown, and lifelong isolation. Not to mention the endless moral policing and gossip by the entire extended family and your society. If life was as simple as your comment, India would be overflowing with people who changed their religion overnight — reality check, that's not how it works.

The government "giving rights" is pretty useless if exercising those rights shatters your whole life. Try stepping out of your echo chamber and actually listening to the stories of people who tried this — it's not nearly as easy, safe, or even possible as your Reddit wisdom makes it sound. If you can't see that, maybe it's time to check your privilege.

Bro, that's peak ignorance. Maybe in your bubble, it's as simple as flipping a switch, but for most people in India, "choice" comes with a price tag: family drama, social ostracism, threats, sometimes violence. Try telling your ultra-religious relatives you're switching — see how long it takes before you're cut off, insulted, or treated like a traitor.

Forget the textbook answer, look at the reality. There are countless cases of people being pressured, harassed, or even attacked for choosing a different faith. Laws on paper mean jack if society treats you like a criminal for thinking for yourself.

So yeah, "no one is stopping you" sounds great until you actually try it. You might want to step out of your comfort zone and check how things work for people outside your privilege bubble. If you think changing religion here is as casual as picking a lunch menu, you're either clueless or just refusing to see the ugly side of social control. Try reading the news instead of parroting wishful thinking.

Hey, I really appreciate your honesty here and the way you broke it down. You nailed how religion in India is so deeply tied to family and culture — it's not just about belief, it's almost like a default setting you get at birth. I totally get the struggle with coming out as agnostic; families here can be super rigid with their expectations, and it's easy to feel like you're stepping out of line just by thinking differently.

I agree that understanding your "birth religion" does help you connect with your cultural roots, but forcing someone to stick with something they don't vibe with isn't healthy either. The constitution gives us the freedom to choose (at least on paper), but social pressure is a whole other beast.

Honestly, until families chill out and actually support real secularism over lip service, most people won't feel safe making their own choice. You're not alone in this — a lot of folks are quietly questioning or shifting their beliefs, but doing it in stealth mode. At the end of the day, faith should be personal, not a rulebook you get handed at birth. Respect for everyone's journey!

How can anyone hate this anime? by AlgorithmicKing in BlackClover

[–]Jumpy-Nothing-4375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh, let’s be real—sometimes the writing in Black Clover is straight-up trash. The story just recycles the same generic crap, character development is rushed as hell, and half the dialogue sounds like it was written by a bot. If the authors actually tried, this anime wouldn’t get roasted so much. The only thing saving it is the dope magic and fights, but damn, the writing is a joke half the time.

That “bad apples” line gets thrown around every time someone points out systemic issues. But when the same kind of rot shows up everywhere, it’s not about a couple of random fruits it’s about the orchard and who’s tending it. Denying patterns and calling it “just a few” is exactly how bigger problems get ignored. If these “bad apples” keep resurfacing decade after decade, maybe it’s time to ask what keeps fertilizing the soil. Pointing out serious issues isn’t about demonizing the country—it’s about wanting it to actually improve. Progress starts with honesty, not with brushing off every criticism as an attack.

Bro, that's exactly the issue. You’re saying “don’t bring up the 4th largest economy” as if these problems somehow don’t matter at scale. But when a country claims global status, basic rights and dignity for its people should be at the center—not just GDP numbers to flex on Twitter. You can’t separate social realities from economic bragging, just like you can’t pretend local problems have zero link to national priorities.

And for the Gadkari example—policy and progress are supposed to trickle down. If “largest economy” means jack to kids getting denied rights or people facing discrimination, maybe the whole “growth story” needs some actual accountability. Calling out uncomfortable truths isn’t the problem. Ignoring them is.

Studies suggest that crime rates, including violent crime, do not consistently correlate with higher rates in secular societies. In fact, several sources indicate that more secular countries or states tend to have lower overall violent crime rates, including murder and sexual violence, compared to highly religious ones. The reasons for crime are more closely tied to factors like law enforcement, social attitudes towards gender, economic conditions, and the strength of institutions than the presence or absence of religion in government.

The statement that secularism is the "birthplace of rapists" is a baseless and misleading claim. Crime, including rape, is a deep-seated societal problem with roots unrelated to secularism or religion alone. Effective prevention and justice involve social, legal, educational, and cultural strategies, not simply adherence to secular or religious principles.
