A Little Unfinished Piece I've Been Working On

Just like how criticizing Christianity is not Christophobia;

Criticizing Judaism is not Antisemitism,

Criticizing Islam is not Islamophobia

Criticizing Hinduism is not Hinduphobia

Criticizing Buddhism is not Buddhophobia

Criticizing other religions/spiritualities is not Anti-Theism

Criticism is not discrimination

Soooo true

Christians being totally normal about their religion

This blog is a space for apostates/ex-religious, self-proclaimed heretics/heathens, secular/irreligious celibates.

With this blog, i post and reblog topics related to severing my ties with god and religion.

Growing up as religious, I was taught that my purpose is to get married, reproduce, and increase the population of believers, which i reject.

I’m on a journey to find meaning through philosophy and celibacy, without needing to depend on relationships or religion to have purpose in life and find individuality.

humankind created god, not the other way around

you are god

it’s so isolating being an ex muslim, i left islam for my liberal values and trauma only for a lot of people on the left to coddle islam and defend it from any criticism while ex muslims are still being killed, tortured, honour killed by their own family, it was very disheartening to see that the side that says that they are “here” for the people who are suffering to constantly demonize ex muslims and their trauma and suffering and actively create a hostile environment against them and then they wonder why some ex muslims turn to the right, cause they listen to them even though they may know that they are probably nothing but a token they still will be there cause they think that the right hears their criticisms and suffering.

most of the time I think my religious trauma doesn't bother me anymore

last year I took a creative writing class

I had my narrator take the lord's name in vain once or twice

(I like to do it, now. now that I can.)

I didn't think altogether too much of it because my story wasn't about god at all

it was just about guilt guilt guilt

but my professor called attention to the way my narrator said god when they were angry

"almost like prayer," he said

almost like prayer.

when I was very young my mother told me “they’re going to try and teach you that we came from monkeys but that’s not true and you shouldn’t listen to them because we were made from god” and she was my mom and I was like 7, so I pretty much just went “okay, noted, anyway”

anyway like 2 years later evolution comes up in class and one of my classmates goes “is this the we evolved from monkeys thing?”

and I’m on Red Alert. this is what my mom told me about!

the teacher replies, “well, we share a common ancestor, but we didn’t evolve directly from apes. if you go back way before apes or people existed, you’ll find a different third thing we both came from. we know this because of things like fossils”

and I was like whoo! dodged a bullet there, good thing my 4th grade science class isn’t trying to teach us we came from monkeys and instead figured stuff out using fossils and taught us that instead :)

Instructions Unclear, Ended Up Believing In Evolution Anyway
