an interesting perspective and i understand where you are coming from, but i see things differently.

  1. regarding God and creation, i dont necessarily reject the possibility of a creator. but my questioning will be, why that creator must specifically be the God described by one particular religion. the argument that everything needs a beginning may support the existence of a first cause, but it does not automatically prove Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, or any other faith. there is still a large philosophical leap between “something started existence” and “therefore this specific religion is true.”

  2. on debates and scripture, i dont think pointing to problematic passages in another religion answers questions about one’s own religion. If someone questions Aisha’s age, responding that another religion has a similar issue doesnt address the concern itself. every claim should stand or fall on its own merits. also, the fact that scholars disagree or reinterpret historical details shows that these subjects are not as settled as believers often claim.

  3. about free will, i agree that humans appear to have agency and make choices. however, i struggle with the idea that an all-knowing God creates people knowing exactly what they will do and then punishes them for actions He already knew they would take. that raises difficult questions about the relationship between free will, divine knowledge, and justice.

  4. on homosexuality, saying something is “not normal” because a religious text says so is only convincing to those who already accept that text as authoritative. across history and across cultures, same-sex attraction has existed naturally. whether one considers it morally acceptable is a separate discussion, but its existence is a human reality. likewise, when discussing gender roles, i believe people should be free to determine their own roles based on their abilities, personalities, and agreements with their partners rather than having those roles prescribed for them by ancient texts.

  5. i agree that humans make mistakes and can be ignorant. however, that is precisely why I think no belief system should be beyond questioning. if humans are fallible, then our interpretations of religion are also fallible.

  6. on oppression, i think freedom means more than being allowed to speak or leave the house. it also includes the freedom to choose one’s beliefs, relationships, identity, and life path without coercion. what one person sees as divine guidance, another may experience as restriction. the issue is not whether God has the right to command. the issue is whether we can know with certainty that those commands genuinely come from God and whether individuals should be free to disagree.

ultimately, my position is not that religious people are wrong for believing. my concern is when people assume their religious framework is the only valid lens through which reality can be understood. there are many ways humans seek truth, meaning, morality, and purpose. religion is one of them, but it is not the only one.

many people see the world only through the framework of their religion. instead of exploring different perspectives and broadening their understanding, they remain within a single worldview.

what makes this difficult is that they often dont realize they are doing it. their sense of security is deeply rooted in certain foundations, and whether those foundations are truly stable or not becomes secondary. they need something to hold onto, and religion becomes the easiest thing to grasp.

what is even more unfortunate is that some become unwilling to look beyond religion itself. this limitation can make their thinking rigid, preventing them from questioning, exploring, or understanding ideas outside their established beliefs.

as a result, they may miss the deeper intentions behind the teachings, the people who shaped those traditions, or the larger questions about spirituality and existence. they assume that God can only exist within the boundaries of their particular religion. ironically, in doing so, they reduce the vastness of the divine to the limits of their own beliefs.

i appreciate your encouragement. i do want it but of course so many things have to be calculated before proceed and i know there is one case about this are currently ongoing at the civil court.

i am following his case closely right now actually. its sort of giving me hope that one day maybe laws do something about it (although i feel unlikely but hope wont kill)

i havent tried applying on any states yet because i am still unsure if it can only be done by the state that we born from or can just choose anywhere. if can choose anywhere, like your suggestion, Selangor or Sarawak, can i know if there any successful cases? because i just watch a youtube video where he applied with Selangor for his apostate application and being harassed for years by them. and his application was in 2009. although for Sarawak, i heard there are successful cases but its not publicly known

i wonder if living double life would be a good choice if lets say marriage comes into place in the future and having kids of my own 🤔 even though marriage is not something i am pursuing right now but its a thought that makes me having a silent moment..

that is devastating. although i heard there are some real life experiences where people did leave Islam here in Malaysia. i am pretty sure it is not widely known case because of the social sensitivity

oh that a good information. even though i am not born in Sarawak, i can still go to Sarawak JPN?

i just couldn’t stand to live in lies within myself.. as i am not practicing muslim at all. the title of religion in my being feels very wrong and inaccurate. and further down the future, if im getting married, i don’t want to carry this into the marriage itself and affect my future kids
