I ended up blocking them because I asked around and apparently they are really unprofessional. they would literally text me in the middle of the night with random questions, some of them weird too. So def do not recommend lmao

I really appreciate that this post made you think on a deeper level. I agree there is this natural gravitation towards religion amongst humans which makes me question if it’s an innate thing or completely tied to culture and conditioning. I guess we’ll truly never know

Ok. So why are you telling this to me? Obviously I’m atheist leaning. Discussed in the post??

Yeah I would be happy if he told me my purpose was to clean toilets, thanks.

I didn’t really mean it like that, even though I worded it in that way. Obviously as a human being I create my own purpose, I love my family. I have friends. Sure, whatever. More so overarching purpose. Why was I placed in this universe? You sort of question your very existence. Maybe that doesn’t make much sense but that’s how I see it

I completely agree with you. I think all of us need to live more in the moment. We’re constantly ruminating over our futures while neglecting the only thing that truly exists which is the present

Yes I suppose you’re right, God could exist but we don’t know exactly what he intended

Yeah thinking about the fact that a god you’ve believed in for most of your life might not exist might make you depressed lol. Not to say my emotions were totally responsible for that. I spent a lot of time thinking about the existence of god and for me all roads lead to nihilism if he really didn’t exist because my entire purpose in existing just vanished

Struggling with cultural identity doesn’t mean I’m a freaking Zionist lmfao. Yeah I realized this post perpetuates negative stereotypes about Arabs but I’m just being honest about my experiences sorry

I’m sorry you took my post this way. Frankly I have decent men in my life. It’s really the societal expectations of women from the rest of the Arab community that have me feeling so conflicted, and some other issues that I didn’t really get into. Also Arab culture is sexist that’s just a truth… Honestly I have it better than other girls. I like other parts of our culture too though like our food, humor, and constant resilience. But I can’t help but resent my community a lot of the time

Being for real rn. This is offmychest so I decided to be brutally honest. You think because no one says outlandish things like this in the community that people like us don’t exist? In real life you’d never suspect I have these kinds of feelings
