Hey Everyone!
I was on google searching different topics pertaining to islam and christianity and stumbled upon this forum
ive been reading some threads and im surprised to know theres so many ex muslims out there!
Im not sure what i consider myself...ive been seriously struggling with islam for a very long time and dont really consider myself a "muslim"...however i do believe there is a god out there my only struggle is finding a god i believe in which is proving difficult
recently ive started looking into christanity...but seriously its soo confusing i dont even know where to start:S
plus theres sooo many different sects within christanity that finding the one that i fit in the most is proving hard
its all a strange but exciting path im on and will see where i end up lol
btw family does NOT know...i live in canada in a area that is like 90% muslim and all my friends are muslim...family is strict muslim also...my brother being a quran teacher and coming from a generation of Mu'allims so ya its difficult for me...i dont ever plan on telling them..lol ill take this to my grave cuz if anyone in my family ever found out id be an outcast...disowned and would fear for my life
btw im somali so ya for all u somali people u know how hard it is
Welcome Nessa! You will find MANY kindred souls here, in the same or similar situations
as you (ex muslims living in a household or country where they have to keep their
apostasy a secret)
I has been a very fundamental christian for many years, and got sick of the hypocrisy
and floated over to Islam, until ugly truths also reared their ugly heads :(
Its a scary feeling to even WONDER if the abrahamic god even exists, and I was
just having a conversation about that with a friend. Those who are so sincere,
seeking and searching for truth to nurture our souls, only to find out, it doesn't
even exist.
Anyway, welcome, and I sincerely hope you find much solace, a place where its
safe to vent and scream, and A LOT of support from others in your situation.
