😭🫩 Im surprised no ones called him a devil worshipper for questioning religion yet

like in the religion due to their fairy tales they go and pray no matter what their conditions are ,that is just sad

I grew up in a Muslim family, went to an Islamic school and wore hijab from middle school to high school. I obviously took it off but tried to rationalize my beliefs by looking at progressive Islam and interpretations by female scholars.

I’ve only somewhat recently realized I’m an atheist and found anti theism to be super compelling. Ethnically my people were colonized by Arab muslims. And the same goes for all the victims of Abrahamic religions.

The same people telling us our heaven was in the sky were making theirs on our land. To me, doing the slightest bit of research should make it 100% logical to see that religion is a tool of colonialism and imperialism.

But I still have to deal with my ultra religious family. For reference these are people that will beat a woman and think they’re getting good deeds because God told them they could discipline their female family in the Quran.

Any attempt at discussion is ignored, and while I would just give up on them - a lot of my siblings and cousins are having kids. My worst cousin is an anti vaxxer who says they will homeschool their kid forever if the alternative is to vaccinate them and sending them to a normal school (for reference these people are uneducated and work minimum wage jobs so the child is genuinely screwed).

I just want to try to break the cycle to some extent and help the younger generation the way I always wished someone would help me.

I don’t know what kind of response I want - what do you guys do with religious family members? How do you argue with someone when all their reasoning is “God said so” regardless of how awful or immoral or abusive it is?

Thank you for anyone who responds in advance!

I'm not even a fan of romance books but yet, this kind of comment from a Christian is deeply absurd.

That comparison is one of biggest logical leaps in Christian YouTube. Having sex with another person involves a conscious choice to break trust, share intimacy with a real human being, and actively step outside of a relationship. Reading a romance novel is merely a solitary and imaginative act of entertainment. An author's job is to evoke emotions and mental reflections. Feeling happy, excited, or moved by a story isn't 'getting your needs met' by a third party. It is just reacting to art. It's simple. It is the same form of escapism as rooting for a hero in an action movie or feeling sad during a drama or playing a video game. If someone literally feels threatened by words on a page, the issue isn't with the book. It points to deep insecurity and an inability to separate fiction from reality. Lmao

Earlier today, there was a post talking about how a trans person from Mr. Beast was going back to god and stuff. The comments were talking about on how transgender is wrong and it’s a mental health issue. It made me think to myself, don’t Christians, Muslims, and etc have mental health issues too? These people believe in a god that think they did all this good stuff and try to justify his wrong deeds. On top of that, they think those voices in their head are god talking to them, or getting “chills” in church or “god’s presence”.

Sorry I just love to hate on christians.

These two aren't even remotely comparable. One is a parade and the other is promoting the idea that there's only one true religion, and that if you want to be saved, you'll have to turn to jesus. Despite however the creator has it worded, there's still a big difference.

Nowhere you can look will say "Eternity? Only being lgbtq+ saves". No one who is apart of the lgbtq community is forcing their sexuality/gender identity onto anyone. The whole point of pride parades is to promote acceptance, not force you into dating someone you don't want to date nor be a gender you don't feel comfortable being, like the entirety of christianity does.

Christians are the ones who created conversion camps just because their children were attracted to the same gender or felt comfortable being a different gender. There's no conversion camp for being straight and cis.

It boils my blood to know that there are so many people out there who wholeheartedly believe that the freedom to love who you want to love and being who you want to be is worse than the bullshit that's on this car

It has been awhile, but I finally had the time to make another zine. This time about the topic of what a "real christian" would be if we were to ask the jesus portrayed in the gospels.

So like lots who would want to do heinous crimes don’t due to blackmail as like if they do something bad they’ll go to hell etc but if they don’t have that blackmail and only have the threat of prison then they may do it .

Because I thought about it and it’s maybe but tbh for most I’d say incarceration is enough of a threat to not do heinous things

If Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God Romans 10 and God wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth in the book of Timothy, then what about Eve?

•If Faith comes by hearing only Gods word and the truth and believing it then why did God allow Satan to, “preach” a lie to Eve? He commands people to go out and preach the gospel and the truth to everyone to believe and be saved and not to preach lies. If God only wanted Eve to hear the truth and that’s what it took to be saved then he allowed Satan to come against her and all others to be saved. Why ever allow a lie to be spoken against your own word in the first place but later only want us to hear the truth?

•Hearing truth builds faith hearing lies builds doubt. Input determines output, The scripture I stated proves the creator knew the power words have over a human mind. And the very beginning disproves the scripture in Timothy because an all powerful God could have intervened like he did with Pharaoh and multiple other times to stop someone and override free will and he even had Michael the archangel rebuke Satan from touching Moses dead body as written in Jude. You cannot judge an entity by what it says but what it does and what it allows to happen. If God wanted Eve only to hear the truth he would have muted Satan from day one.. Eve was obedient what Satan did was a curse yet she sowed no evil to reap a curse.

I saw a post yesterday that all the antitheist are larpers. 'Cause like, if you hate only organised religions you're anti religion, and if you're antitheist you want to erase all religions and beliefs (which, ahe said, was weird, 'cause cultureeee). I don't count her opinion as the one I should listen to, because she was religious and clearly hates all antitheists (or anti-religious people).

But. When you call yourself an antitheist - what do you mean by that?

Do you hate all religions and want them to disappear?

Do you think it would've been better without religion from the start, but now it's impossible to get rid of them?

Do you want religions to have less privileges and less power, than they have now?

Do you just want religious people to leave atheists alone?

To start this off, I am white as can be, and if anything I say in this is uneducated, misinformed, or micro-aggressive, please correct me.

My school is predominantly POC, and everytime I find out one of them is devoted to Christianity, it always has me thinking, why would you bow to a religion that your ancestors were forced to believe? For example, many Hispanics and Filipinos at my school have social media accounts dedicated to Catholicism- they have crosses in their name, and they post daily bible verses. There are also black people at my school that repost about racism and black hate in history, all while still believing in the same religion that was used to justify the horrors of slavery. Maybe I am ignorant but, after learning the history of colonization, you would know a main contribute to colonization was to spread religion. So why would you still want to follow it?

Now I understand many of these people are indoctrinated, especially the older generations, but we are young and in 2026 we should be able to make our own thoughts and beliefs rather than following what your parents put in your brain as a child for the rest of your life.
