Berbs - just go with the flow, if you dont want to get involved with religious debates, then just stick to the sexual topics, they're my favourites anyway .

That's educative too, and all part of the learning process for ex-muslims who have lead a life beneath Allah's gaze. Your exploits as you can see from the stats figures, are widely read and enjoyed.

Its a social forum, and not just about lengthy debates.

It's not just because I have a new man, or I'm out living a real life that I barely post these days, it's because I feel like I have nothing left to give anymore.

I don't post in threads that are serious anymore, I don't even click on the "expposing islam" type of threads anymore because it's nothing new, I've hashed it over to death and I can't post the same reply yet again, and again, and again.

It's like I am empty on this issue now.

I am exorcised completey of my demons, I feel no guilt, no doubt, no fear anymore, I feel no sadness for the time I wasted, I feel nothing.

I wish I could get back that fire, that passion to change things, to help people, but I've been running on empty for awhile.

The title above my name is just for show these days as in actual fact I do nothing in the day to day running of this site, again because I have no passion for it.

I'm so happy at how many ex muslims have come together, at how well the site is doing now, it's very heartwarming though.

Anybody else ever feel like they have lost the passion?

Good for you Berbs - I have sensed this and am sincerely happy for you

I wish I could be at that place too.

I thought I would have lost the passion by now and moved on - but I obviously still have issues to exorcise.

Its sad but I cant help seeing Berbs as having shed her hijabi cocoon and now an example of a ex-muslim who has been successfully integrated into the wider community, and now its time for her to move on.

We''ll miss you Berbs

Yep you will be missed, but it's fantastic that you have moved on.

Yup, this is good. No demons FTW. Now you can just get on with being a real, live demon. Enjoy yourself and do whatever you want with your life. You can still contribute here whenever you feel like it. As some of the others have said, the serious topics aren't the only thing of value here. If this place was only serious topics it'd be pretty grim and dismal.

Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West.

Not from me , my thoughts are just a rehash of what everyone here tells me

Not true, IsLame - you have made a massive contribution to this forum in so many ways.

What I gained from this forum (and my ffi days) was that my initial reasons for leaving islam was very personal to me, not based on rational reasons to start off with. In my anger at my treatment I was more open to then exploring the other reasons people leave, and now I have embraced them too.

So the anger has gone and I am an ex muslim for more than just my treatment.

Sometimes it takes a jolt to make our magic spectacles fall off.

Most Muslims never leave their comfort zone and never get the courage to challenge their assumptions.

I've noticed that about myself too. I avoid serious discussions that I've hashed over, content. I see this place as more of a social outlet, my new rare identity as a former muslim. A place to vent, share common concerns and interests, even if they're not that serious lately. I'm glad I found this place, I'm glad you were here for me, and us all for eachother. AlhamduliFSM for the internet, joining disparate souls who would otherwise live thinking we were alone in doubts and disbelief of our muslim faith/heritage. This forum has been my AA, it's become a Cheers ("sometimes you want to go, where everybody knows your name.."). MashaFSM, thank you all for putting this together, contributing, and making it what it is. My life is better for it.

Excellent summary of all that is good about this forum, Awais
