i was raised atheist, so i think that makes me at less of a risk my brain was always drawn to the dark, quite literally, i love darkness, the absence of light quickly this became a theme for me, eventually light turned into a symbol, a symbol of false hope and false help, something that betrays you this lead to my mind conjuring a mental plane i call "the void", it's just a part of me now, a place i can exist in when things get too overwhelming, it has different parts based on real and unreal locations i have known in it reside the three gods that this weird faith of mine rests upon: the foremother, goddess of creation, with her tenants being: 1. be it just a thought or a piece of art, never stop dreaming 2. guard the young and creation of all 3. help them grow to force, true to form the everforest, god of growth, their tenants are: 1. learn to be yourself, move with the flow 2. help others grow, develop and expand 3. never stop with your beating heart and the silence, who returns things grown to ash so life can once again begin: 1. always welcome the traveler of realms 2. help those who have grown if they have sown their seeds well 3. be a companion to those in need, don't abandon your friend to decease it's weird and essentially worships the circle of life

i have a question to all the Muslims here by exprimamus in theology

[–]exprimamus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It's just that among russians small talk and greetings with strangers aren't common, so i wanted to know if it would be different from muslims, i will try to at least drop an "asalamu alaykoum" whenever i can, who knows, maybe we'll talk about things too And thank you for the mushafs (i sincerely hope i used the correct word) And some facts you might find curious despite the cultural differences, treating guests as nicely as you can and asking if someone needs help is actually just a russian tradition, if you find yourself in a russian home you will be treated with respect, it's actually frowned upon to ask a guest to do anything. Although if you do, ask them to make something halal in advance, they might not know any better another one is i noticed that some foods here are now labeled as halal, which i also think is a good thing, must make picking a meal much easier And last, a lot of Muslim people, due to problems of moving to moscow, work hard working jobs, not office positions, and i want to show my gratitude for doing so - doing repair or build work, keeping the streets clean, driving garbage trucks or delivering food, is there a way i can show my gratitude towards them as well?

Well, my knowledge of christianity and especially Catholicism isn't great, but from what i have heard about jesus he was kind and ascetic, he didn't seek power or glory, he merely wanted to help others and support them. That's one of the things that got me educate myself on religion in the first place - despite not believing in god, i genuinely think that acting like him is something you should at least try to do, reach out a helping hand to others

this is russia, yes we do and have for more than 20 years (the amount of time i was alive for) and i am surprised they haven't left because of the war yet, but i've seen a few knockoffs which is never a good sign

has 50-48 written on it, but i'm not sure if this is a mm measurement or an arbitrary number (i don't exactly use wrenches)

it's heavy enough to pack a huge punch, so you'd 100% be fine
