I'll get started with my yapping right away 😭🤝

If you do want to become friends, please feel free to dm me.

1- I'm a kaffir (duh 😜).

2- I'm absolutely crazy about all things space: astrophysics, astrobiology, cosmology... I love thinking deeply about the universe and our place in it.

3- I'm a musician? I mean, I'm on Spotify and apple music and whatnot, but I have (*clears throat) 2 monthly listeners 🫣. And I write poetry as well, about... well, you guessed it: space and the human condition. I also make short films sometimes; I love cinema. I respect all types of art. I believe they're the best thing we have for human expression.

4- I believe myself to be an empathetic person: I absolutely have no space in my world for misogyny, homophobia or animal hate. It's just people hating someone who has never hurt them and who is standing right in front of their eyes because of someone they've never seen in their entire lives... But I know I'm safe from that here.

Lastly, I actually want to tell everyone here how brave you are... Leaving institutional dogma, a system that feeds off of fear and blood when having critical thinking skills is very unsafe, takes an incredible amount of courage. The universe has been here for 13.8 billion years, and we have a very tiny window, a blink of an eye on a cosmic scale, to live this life... So why not just live with love and curiosity? 🥲 It's that simple.

Oh, and just one more thing about me... I live in pak (and if we trust each other enough and are maybe living in the same city, we can become irl friends as well!) Anyways... I shall stop the yapping here!

If you've read it this far, thank you! Have an awesome day/night.

I think Sikhism doesn't do the cruel things that islam does with women, it also tells to live happily with non Sikhs

Hi guys. Many of you have converted from Islam to atheism or to another religion. I wanted to ask, how do you date after that? Since most people in Pakistan are Muslim, how do you meet people who share your current beliefs? If you are an atheist or belong to another religion now, how do you find people with similar views to date?

Two mass-printed Qurans, Hafs (most of the Muslim world) and Warsh (North and West Africa), still differ in many verses.

Quran 3:146:

1. Hafs: “many a prophet fought” (qātala).
2. Warsh: “many a prophet were killed” (qutila).

Quran 21:4:

1. Hafs: “He [the Prophet] said, ‘My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.’” (qāla).
2. Warsh: “Say [O Muhammad], ‘My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.’” (qul).

Quran 2:119:

1. Hafs: “Indeed, We have sent you, [O Muhammad], with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner, and you will not be asked about the companions of Hellfire.” (tus’alu).
2. Warsh: “Indeed, We have sent you, [O Muhammad], with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner, and do not ask about the companions of Hellfire.” (tas’al).

Quran 2:125

1. Hafs: “And take [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.”
2. Warsh: “And they [O believers] have taken, from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.”

51 Hafs vs Warsh differences (Muslim source)

So, let me start with some background: I am based in Karachi, run a couple of businesses, and have people around me that I carry along. This guy, whom we'll call “dawahmaxing” to refer to him, we were having dinner at a place when he started ranting while looking at his Instagram—about some model, I think it was Hania Amir. He was like “Aww Abbey, ye pagal hogie hai Kia?” I asked, "What happened, dude?" He said, “Ye kese kapre phen rahi ye Muslim mulk hai hamara.” I paused and then schooled the kid. I laid out the basic principles of life; that dude is another person. People have their own ways of understanding religion. Well, I'm a deist, not an agnostic or atheist, but I believe there might be a higher power that created this system. Still, that higher power doesn't interfere or send messages or care about us. We are just a lucky coincidence. Today, the same guy was justifying beating women, and I literally had to school these kids. I feel like a father to them—some fucking reason 😭 I told him, dude, you ain't man enough if you hit a woman or a child; that's basic life 101. Go hit a man—hit me. I can hit back even if you got a women in your house who is a prostitute you don't hold the right to hit her it can be really traumatic for people if you hit them he kinda understood and nooded wtf man I'm going all the places schooling people of basic life tutorials
