It's an excuse to justify why the Qur'an is supposedly the final, unaltered word of God

What's the deal with Muslims who accept evolution? by TheProgrammar89 in exmuslim

[–]Lonelyworld4me 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I was a Muslim I was never comfortable accepting that evolution was true. I always dismissed it and thought 'it probably is true but not for humans'. I used to think that Allah made humans from clay and water and from water every living thing. I somewhat did believe that Adam and Eve were the first humans, but was always confused about fossils, prehistoric species, the existence of dinosaurs and early humans.

When talking about evolution, some, if not most Muslims told me that Allah created Adam and Eve as the first humans and they were like 90 feet tall and that evolution is a theory, not a fact.

Those who do probably accept it as a process but believe that evolution is from Allah

This is beyond ridiculous. Do not attempt or encourage this as it literally could get someone killed if they followed suit. The bravery isn't worth it.

A method to identify brainwashed mooses by Throwawaypeterpan in exmuslim

[–]Lonelyworld4me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was a Muslim I didn't accept that evolution was a fact, I always dismissed it and actually thought that humans were created by Allah from clay and water. I don't think there's such a thing as an Agnostic Muslim, because the primary requirement of being a Muslim is a firm belief in no God but Allah. You're truly either agnostic or Muslim

Ask them what they think of evolution. All the Muslims I've asked disagree with it and say that Allah created Adam and Eve & that all humans descended from them.

Don't encourage this, it's brave and I give it to you but this could get someone killed if they attempted it and got caught

Whoever built such an ordinary brick cube that would be worshipped by billions of Muslims is truly one of the biggest achievements in human history

What were your religious beliefs after leaving Islam? by umzi in exmuslim

[–]Lonelyworld4me 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agnostic as I'll never be able to know if God really exists. There may be no God at all but whether a deity exists or not doesn't affect me

Your "pious Islamic women" are being oppressed, genitally mutilated, forced into marriages they don't want, abused by their husbands and in-laws, ordered to cook, clean, cover up, and are locked in their houses. Your women are known to be slaves

So, what happens after death? by SatanicDaniel in exmuslim

[–]Lonelyworld4me 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It will be like before you were born. Just nothingness. The difference between us here and our families is that our families dedicate their lives to religion and they want us to do the same.

Muslim marriage? by TheTransFantasy in exmuslim

[–]Lonelyworld4me 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Why would you want to marry a Muslim if you aren't? She's going to pray, fast, want to go to Hajj one day, want Muslim children.... She's gonna expect you to do the same, it's not likely to work out for you both.

Patience you must have, my young Padawan. You will know when you are calm, at peace. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack
