Hello forum users!
OP - December 05, 2011, 08:23 AM

Hello, I am 17, living in Singapore. I am a closet muslim apostate, or at least to my family members. This may sound weird but Heavy Metal music opened up my mind. It sparked interests in philosophy, history, religion and of course humanity. I have a passion for life and music.

At the age of 10 I questioned God. Received invalid answers from friends and family members such as "you cannot question God". Then I kept my mouth shut till I was 16 and started to find answer questions I can answer and of course the atheist community on the net.

Currently a new member of The Singapore Humanism Meetup Group. I encourage other Singaporean atheists to join us too.

To a truly secular society
Cheers
Shah.

Welcome - and you are right, secular will be just fine, thanks.

I can see the misogyny but I think they do not violate humanity that much compared others.
Violate Humanity,
Violate Me.

True. Buddhism, when followed literally, promotes peace, deep understanding of reality, etc. I ignore the few parts that I do not agree with (traces of misogyny, etc.). After all, the words are not those of omniscient, infallible gods.

A warm welcome Shah

I am really happy there is a group you can get together with.
Are they all ex muslims too?

Not really. Just the general atheist community, ex-christians, ex-buddhist etc. Well in this country its difficult to find a muslim apostate. My country is a cosmopolitan country. Multi-culturalism. So usually theists stick to theists. Atheist stay at home or at least hidden. Makes me sad not having many atheist friends.
I have to thank Iblis for this forum
