  • Hello y'all!
     OP - June 10, 2014, 04:32 AM
    Hey.

    I got burned out on religion and I m 19 studying Comp Sci but wanna be an IO Psychologist after my degree.

    Anyway, I was fairly devout when I was 16 and 17. When I was 18, I became a Modernist (refusing to believe a lot of Hadiths, not reading Quran seriously but follwing the morals).

    My family are religious but they are tolerant. My dad has no religion and my family members are more humanistic than religious.

    Anyway, I cannot be bothered believing in religion and Islam. Here is why:

    -Influenced by an online female friend with whom I have a huge crush on. Talking to her made me open my mind 1000x

    -Islam allows sex slaves yet premarital sex is banned.

    -I would like to have premarital sex because it is normal and their is nothing wrong with it

    -I love alcohol especially tequila and vodka. I like getting drunk 1x a week

    -"Women are deficient in mind and religion" Cough, cough, my female friends are very smart.

    -Testimony of women. Lol, women have better memories than men

    -Creationism

    -Why would a loving God send people to Hell for not believing? Sounds like an insecure psychopath

    -Rules, rules, rules. I hate rules!

    -Harry Potter and Hunger Games >>>>>>>>>> religious books

    -I want to have an adventure and flirt with danger a bit. Islam treats us like kids.

    -Oh and gender segregation is brutal

    -I was not practicing Islam properly anyway even when I pray 5x a day, avoid alcohol, and avoid sex

    -Modest dress is restricting for some people

    -Muhammad was mean to the poor Jews.

    -Muslims complain about immoral Western practices yet all my mates drink and act stupid and are actually better people than most of these close-minded twats

    Hi guys.

    Meh Comp Sci is okay. I hate programming with a passion.



    Anyone feel that there are toooooo many rules? So exhausting. Plus, most Muslims are not even devout according to Hadith! The five pillars + abstaining from pork, drugs, gambling, sex does not seem enough to Allah lol.

    No apparently you must also stay away from Western countries, fight the kuffar, establish a khilafa ruled by shariah law, stay away from women that you are not married to or women you do not own, and you must love the prophet more than your parents and yourself...

    Thankfully all the Muslims I know do this weird psychological thing.

    They subconsciously ignore the violent stuff and give great importance to the peaceful stuff. I did that. Shows you that in most humans, the power of humanity overcomes old school rules.

    Also, this forum is good. Unlike other Islamic critic sites this ain't foaming-at-the-mouth racist stuff or the ones who are like "Islam says X so all Muslims do X". Obviously interpretations are a big thing and most Muslims do not intepret the religion like Salafis lol

    Yeah, it's a good place to discuss a religion that is so often in the public eye in an objective way. So many of the sites are just so cringe worthy and exactly as you described.

    Kiitos!

    Hmm, I am getting good grades but in psychology lel when I am a Comp Sci major so confused haha.

    Looking for part time work. I keep applying. Any tips?

    Also, does anyone else feel Muslims have this elitism? Like they look down on Westerners because "they do whatever they want, they are like animals, they eat whatever, they wear whatever clothes" ? I get along more with Westerners than Desis mainly because Westerners do not give a fuck even if you are religious, black, white or whatever in my experience.

    And finally trying to connect better with girls and date but the fact that I am in uni and not working yet stops me add to the religious indoctrination which makes it all worse. Jeez, I would not have survived had I been a true Muslim.

    Ronald_odair, alcohol + opposite sex can be fun but also risky Roll Eyes I like your reasons for not believing because they're simple and rational - why does Allah treat women like being second-class subjects when women, men and every gender in between are equal? Philosophy evolves to be more egalitarian and all-encompassing while religions like Islam stay ossified because the foundations are fixed.

    As for looking down on Westerners, I've experienced this as well with daawah groups and Christian sects. By being in a tight-knit group, they get protection from outsiders' criticisms and they feel better about themselves by placing themselves above the rest of society. Usually they think society is going to hell anyway and they're among the few who would be saved. Not much difference between a cult and a religion if you take it all the way...

    Some survey I read on UK university students found that more than half of those surveyed had unprotected sex. Alcohol + unprotected sex with strangers = a bit risky. It's nice to explore your own sexuality in university but I think there's not enough effective sexual education given to keep young people safe. Sexual assault, STDs and unwanted pregnancies are no joke.

    I aint the type to bang strangers for one night. Same as using my hands.

    I also am the type who only gets drunk with mates and I reach the point where I am really funny and I stop.


    But seriously, religion has ruined my love life. I keep friendzoning girls I like.

    Live your life and get out there.   Join some clubs non Islamic muslim related.  Make friends hopefully non muslims.  Try to experience a life different for once.  Think of it like visiting a different country only they speak English lol.

    Also, work out, cant tell you what going to the gym partly to escape my home issues has done for my confidence.  Also, met loads of interesting new friends at the gym.  I practically have no fear approaching women now and thats coming from a lesbian ex muslim who was terrified to say hello a year ago.  You'll probably have no problems, also dont be afraid to be yourself, I didnt know I had a sense of humor till I actually opened up.

    Took a motorcycle driving class and met some nice people there too.  Do stuff like that, join a local sports league in the US we have amateur leagues often just neighborhoods facing off in the summer.

    Enjoy your life remember these are the best years, you're young and dont really have a lot of constraints yet.  No kids, spouse, full time career etc  Enjoy it

    The gym, or a yoga class, where women outnumber men 4:1.

    Beware, though, if you come over creepy and pervy you are sunk.

    Seriously, yoga will do wonders for your body and mind.
  • Hello y'all!
     Reply #26 - July 09, 2014, 03:03 PM
    I can vouch for the gym, it's a great place to focus on one thing only - achieving your daily workout targets. Religion, school, work, relationship issues all fade into the background. Put  some good music on and it becomes almost like meditation, but with more sweating and grunting Wink

    It's nice talking to men and women who are into working out and best of all, your improved physique will increase your confidence. Keep track of your weights, sets and reps and keep aiming higher.
