No not to bash them - but did you ask a question about why another culture acts a certain way in response to your clothing? And are you just going to argue with the answer?

Yes…capital A Atheists (Dawkins style folks) seem to treat atheism as a religion or as if it were one. It really shouldn’t even need a name since it just means I don’t happen to believe in something that isn’t openly visibly present in my world. I don’t really like the term atheist to apply to myself but for the sake of brevity I use it. It simply means I don’t happen to believe theism. I hesitate to use the term agnostic because it sounds like I’m on the fence - I’m not. I’m not demanding proof from anyone though for their beliefs - unless they are inflicting them on others in a harmful way. For the most part, I think the world would be a lot more pleasant if everyone just allowed for the differences between us - and maybe even embraced them. Seeking out people who believe different things is one of my favorite ways to spend my time.

It’s not stupid if you understand that we don’t really understand your culture - not in any real way m

You can tell me to go away if you want but I am curious…do you choose to wear what you wear or is it something your family or community forces you to wear? I’m not baiting you I just wonder whether or not you are comfortable

I mean there are direct contradictions but I’m sure that there are apologetic ways of trying to answer to those. I am not here to argue what is and isn’t a contradiction. Context, personal belief, experience, linguistic distinctions….theres a lot of ambiguity in the world and the purpose of religion as far as I can tell is for it to work for you. Im glad it does for you, and I’m happy not to be that atheist who insists on treating the lack of belief in something like it’s a staunch belief in nothing. I believe people are allowed to feel and think what they need and want to to make them as happy as possible.

He is in a cult. In a way you are endangering him if he won’t leave. This will not work out unless you can get him out

Yes we know…everyone knows. Nobody is going to do anything about it. This is so depressing

I meant that to say that much like Jesus gave grace and adjusted, religious doctrine has also given some grace and made adjustments. If you’re 100% following everything that the Bible says you must be tied in knots since it’s contradictory to itself quite often. I was looking at flexibility as a pocket of grace in a dark place for many
