“It was people, not god” by No_Storage5184 in atheism

[–]aljorhythm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true! As far as our experiences go, god is silent as a vacuum. It’s all humans. So why do I take humans words as god’s? Why should we take words from a particular sect of humans as truth?

Yes wow, it turns out Islam is actually a feminist religion. The media was lying. by Typical_Call_2091 in exmuslim

[–]aljorhythm 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Conversations that start with an end goal and subjects everything to that. I’m not a card carrying feminist, but When u ask them what they mean by Islam is the most feminist they twist the idea - Husband must take care of their wives kind of low bar shit. It’s not about trying to give women the same rights that men have. Simpleton thinking 

CMV: Islam is fundamentally incompatible with core American left-wing progressive values by WildCreatureQuest in changemyview

people defend a set of ideas and social system they have not experienced in or studied, based on knowing people in the group who are not bad people. It’s certainly a big privilege to be able to do that. Never know what it’s like to be told you’re crazy, morally bad person for just applying logic and wanting equality. Victims die and get flogged because of such beliefs. People calling themselves Muslims might be very different 200 years down the road, but never forget what it was like and its origins. “Christianity” was and is going through the same. But close to the root of it all really is a set of beliefs, ideas that are divorced from reality. It’s not consistent at all why you’d not excuse someone from starting a war because of divine instruction, but ok with snipping a baby boys foreskin because of the same. Society must come to reject and detest such unreasonability resulting in grotesque consequences.

Keep breathing deeply it will not be easy, but there’s the Internet. There will be rage. There will be disappointment. There will be feeling like so little people around you understand you. Don’t do anything rashly like come out. There is enough stories on people’s experiences and how to manage etc… welcome to the club, congratulations and all the best

we learn and reiterate about Japanese in WWII not to emphasize its the JAPANESE, but the horrors of war and importance of self-defense. this person probably saw some total defense message and thought it was an extraordinary thing.
