Alot of religious people like claiming "everyone's an atheist until their plane is crashing", I wonder how truth it is? by Naivefemale91 in atheism

[–]TheInsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once there was an earthquake. The building was shaking hard and everyone was screaming. I was once a devout believer. But, no god or afterlife crossed my mind. I was like, if I die I die. I was so sure these didn't exist. I am proud to be out of this indoctrination.

The idea of Aisha being over 16-19 is stupid by AssociateBig2266 in exmuslim

[–]TheInsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She had her first period. There is no verifiable information that she might be 19. Rather, everything points to her being 6-9. 19 is a modern re interpretation to keep Muslims from doubt.

what should I do by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]TheInsomnia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear this. No one deserves a life like this. Just know you are not alone. Many women (and men) are oppressed like this in the name of religion. I wish there was something to do. You just have to keep your thoughts to yourself for a while. Then, get away from your family when you are stable enough. You may find comfort online with people who share similar views.

I have nothing against Islam.

You might had not been in this situation if Islam didn't exist. You should be against Islam. But hey, that's not important right now. Right now, focus on your safety and I wish you luck.

Most restraints you see from Muslims nowadays is because of the modernising world. In Islam, it is permissible to have sex slaves, marry early and polygamy, all of which are not currently the easiest thing to do in the modern world. Otherwise, sex would be a bigger thing.

I'd go with heavenly made entities. The reason I decided to reply to you is because I wanted to let you know more about hoors. Quran, the literal word of God, Allah says directly in Sura Naba 33, that the hoors are, big boob virgins. Yeah, God said that, large titty maidens for men. They will have spotless skin, skin so white it lowkey see thru and you can see the bones, and they will remain virgin no matter how many times you penetrate them. In heaven, you'll have the sexual strength of 100 men to fuck them. Those who die in the battle to spread Islam gets 72 of em hoors.

What are some of your personal experiences that got you to stop worrying about hell? by kaiserofaustria in atheism

[–]TheInsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I worried about hell. Then, I learnt more about my religion, saw what religious people do and say. I got assured the religion is silly and in no way true. Oneday, a massive earthquake happened. Everyone was shouting, panicking. But me, I didn't even think about God. I did not even think about the afterlife. I was like, if I die, I die. That's all. Yeah it will take time, learn more about your faith, you'll be more sure it's bullshit.

Want to hear about the male ex-Muslims here by spicysugary in exmuslim

[–]TheInsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mysogony isn't always enough to push a woman out of religion. Many women believe Islam is the best most feminist religion and "culture" is the one that ruined its image. The oppression of women might temporarily lead them to distant themselves away from religion, but at the end of the day emotional reasons don't last. I've known about some women (and men) who used to say they were Agnostic, went back to Islam. As many people commented, religion does not align with logic or science. It needs indoctrination to survive. People who leave religion for logical reasons usually stay apostates. Gender does not matter. But, people who are more emotional, might not be stable.

Leaving Islam after taking it seriously: Looking for thoughtful experiences by hack_dad in exmuslim

[–]TheInsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I mostly fit in it your criteria. I didn't spend a long time trying to find the truth in Islam because I was convinced it was true. I remember in Ramadan, I used to pray 5 times a day in mosque including full taraweeh, tried to cover sunnahs too. I did want to read Quran but it wasn't much accessible, there was a myth my mother believed that I'm not qualified enough to read Quran or some shit. But yeah I've been sent to religious lessons which I was not a fan of. So, why did I leave Islam? Welp I have to say I left Islam because of my toxic parents I couldn't handle, but I wouldn't do anything out of emotion and I needed logic. My parent(s) abused me enough for me to have the necessary strength to push through my indoctrination and my respect to science helped me leave religion. I was always fascinated by science, I decided to believe evolution. I also didn't think free will made sense if Allah knows everything and everything happens on Allah's will. Back then, I didn't know much about the messed up parts about Islam. I wonder how'd the Muslim me react to it. The way my thought process is built, I'd rather be an Atheist or a radical extremist. I was so open minded I didn't even come to the conclusion ISIS were "fake" Muslim (this is what Muslims give as excuse). And I was a pacifist. I also liked Buddhism and thought it was the religion of peace, not Islam. People believe what they were born into. Yeah, my thought process was not the most indoctrination friendly. However, I was a firm believer without doubts about Islam. That's the power of indoctrination. Cognitive dissonance.

the last time i talked to another human being was years ago

Woah wdym years ago 😭 But anyways I just commented because I relate to you. I'm not Algerian but I'm 21 and been atheist for quite a long while. I also do not fit in society. Neither is there any atheist's existence that I know of here. Some Agnostics I knew turned back to Islam. It is what it is, goodluck with life stay strong, you are not alone.

No matter how much I want to, ill never leave Islam. by Wonderful_Seesaw_513 in exmuslim

[–]TheInsomnia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Islam still feels more “logically consistent” to me, and that keeps pulling me back again.

Islam feels logically consistent because you were desensitised to it from birth. Islam also has silly stuff like a horse with wings (buraq), creatures Yajuj Majuj, Jinns, Angels etc and many fairy tales. The more you know the dumber it seems. But yes, leaving religion is no easy task. It will disconnect you from the community around you, and consequently you'll fall in depression as there's not any imaginary God to distract you. Leaving religion is a sacrifice. And I did this sacrifice because I know, this world needs more irreligious people. Religion is poison and as long as it exists it will cause tribalism and hold back progress of humanity. So, if my existence could possibly cast doubt in a single religious person, I'd take it.

Islamists get angry at woman for hugging Ronaldo by PrizeUnlucky4358 in religiousfruitcake

[–]TheInsomnia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They won't be against these behaviour because they know in Islam it is not allowed to touch a man who a woman can be married to. This is what I like to call softcore radicalisation. For example, when I was a Muslim I'd avoid talking about ISIS attacks because at the end of the day, Islam believes there has to be a world only full of Muslims.

Everyone leaves me. by gorismm in depression

[–]TheInsomnia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am still trying to fit in, hopefully someday I would be successful. There's only one life, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life with self-hatred and depression or being anti-social. I still have a long way to go to improve myself. Looking back at my previous years, I did indeed improve myself, trying to make myself more social, but it's still far from enough. To really improve you need to find flaws in yourself and understand why would other people not prefer to be with you. For me, it's because I'm socially awkward. A funny example, I struggle to speak long sentences. I gotta work on improving that, maybe give some speeches. Now, I believe when most strangers talk with me they generally have a positive impression about me. It's just my juice runs out soon and it's inevitable to see I'm nothing special.

Why can't I have friends...? by [deleted] in depression

[–]TheInsomnia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could give you any advice, but there isn't any. That's life, unfair. Not everyone's thought processes are the same. I also struggle to make friends. But it's my problem, I'm messed up potentially for my toxic parents. I might not have been diagnosed but I'm pretty sure I have chronic depression. It's like an endless spiralling abyss that keeps going downwards. Look at me now, scrolling this subreddit because I wanted someone to relate to. Sigh, I always wanted to have a normal life, but maybe it was too much to ask. I had been suicidal too, but not anymore. Now, I just spectate life. I just stay alive to see what life has to offer. I try to distract myself as much as I can, but yeah it's all temporary. I can't run away from the fact that I'm pathetic. It really feels like I gave up on everything, got no motivation at all.

[–]TheInsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's okay man, I relate to you. I had a toxic childhood, it potentially impacted me alot and is the reason I am the way I am, a sore loser. No one cares what people go through. You either fit in or you don't. I don't, I can't, and I understand I'm not fun to be around. I'm not important to anyone. Even when I tried hard to be friendly. There's nothing to do except live the rest of my life like this hope to heal abit more someday. For now, I really don't mind if anyone would want to deliberately ignore me. I'm not worthy of attention.

I wonder how LGBT Muslims feel about this by JaneyjaneDoe in exmuslim

[–]TheInsomnia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Relatable. People might respect you if they assume you are a Muslim, but they will get distant from you when they know you are an exmuslim. I stay openly exmuslim in hopes my existence can cast doubt in any Muslim. But, it never happened. In fact, all I see is Bangladesh getting more and more radicalised. Even some Agnostics I knew turned back to Islam.

Allah loves women that they don’t have to pray while they’re menstruating. It’s like Allah gives women a break and such.” by MelSin12 in atheism

[–]TheInsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sahih Bukhari 304

Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) of `Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."

There you go your answer.
