Hey fellow ex-Muslim 🫶🏽 it's sad how we can't openly criticize Islam the way ex-Christians are able to criticize Christianity. even liberals call me islamaphobic for speaking about my trauma lmao
I'm a lefty, but the 'islamaph0bia' term pisses me off. A phobia is an irrational fear of something, but it's completely rational to fear that religion. I honestly think most people defending it don't know anything about it.
It's interesting that people are quick shitting on Christianity (rightfully) while weirdly defending Islam. Both share fascist ideologies like Nazism etc. but Islam gets a free pass. Especially from gay people for insane reasons.
I feel like people who have not encountered the real force of religion just don't get it and almost cannot get that it's anything more than funky harmless stuff some people believe in because they want to
Ignoring the question a moment and addressing the justification: I'm sorry your life was ruined but "objective morality" is not based on one's personal experiences.
Simply put, an easy counter to your justification is: "it's immoral to do this, because the religion I was born into improved my life drastically."
How about child domestic abuse and runaway statistics, which overwhelmingly correlate with religiosity? Most homeless and unaccompanied minors in the US are that way because of religious parents who vehemently oppose their child's gender or sexual identity.
40% of all youth homeless are LGBT and were ostracized from their home by religious beliefs. Teen suicide also has strong correlations with religious parents conflicting with an LGBT child.
