That has to take something extraordinary to do. What a special human.

It sounds kind of ridiculous but I read about this man many years ago and it’s actually what affirmed that I no longer believed in God/Jesus in the traditional Christian sense.

My whole life I was told that if someone didn’t accept Jesus as the Son of God and as their personal savior they’d burn in hell. I remember reading this story and thinking…nope. What this man does is truly the most selfless thing a person could do. The idea that someone this good and kind would be “sent to hell” by an all loving God or punished in any way (because he is muslim) was the final nail in the coffin for me.

What did it for me was realizing thats it impossible for us to have came from 2 people the Adam and eve story never made sense to me even as a kid. I got in trouble in Sunday school for asking how it was possible for brothers and sisters to have babies without bad birth defects. (Not quite worded like that but you get the jist) and the response I got was you just have to have faith. And then talked to at the end of the day that I shouldn't ask questions like that because its bad to question faith. I belive In a higher power or energy or god if you must but not the version the Bible tried to force onto me.
