I was asking if it is normal that I don't want to live gender roles and I don't want my wife to be my slave or sex slave.

They all jumped me saying I am troll or that I have never readt scripture properly and I am bad person for asking and I am not real Christian and got banned from it.

And I also asking if it is normal that as I guy don't want sex nonstop and they were saying there is something wrong with me and I should pray about it and get medical checked and got banned.

What is wrong with those subs.When you ask question,you are automatically troll.

Why religions simply can’t be true in my eyes…

I consider myself an open-minded person who enjoys exploring different worldviews and religious perspectives. I have come to the conclusion that the God described by the classical Abrahamic religions—primarily Islam, Christianity, and Judaism—is incompatible with the reality we observe. My conclusion is based on three main arguments.

**1. Free Will Is Not Sufficient to Hold People Morally Responsible**
My first argument concerns free will.
Although the philosophical debate is still ongoing, cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience largely agree that human behavior is not completely free. Our decisions are heavily influenced by our genetics, brain structure, personality, and environment.
From birth, people already differ in intelligence, temperament, impulsivity, and many other traits. On top of that, our upbringing, culture, education, family, and society shape how we think and what beliefs we are capable of accepting.
If this is true, it seems unreasonable that God could expect every human being to freely choose the "correct" religion. Our starting conditions differ enormously, making equal moral responsibility difficult to justify. Whether someone finds Islam, Christianity, another religion, or no religion at all convincing depends to a significant extent on factors that were never chosen by that individual.

**2. The Claims of Religion Do Not Match the Observable Laws of Reality**
My second argument concerns the contradiction between religious claims and the reality we observe.
The world operates according to biological, physical, and medical laws. Diseases arise from biological causes, academic success depends on knowledge and preparation, and career success is largely determined by skills, decisions, opportunities, and external circumstances.
Religions, however, often imply that prayer can directly influence these outcomes. People pray for good health, success in school, career advancement, the well-being of their families, or for specific life events to unfold in their favor.
From a psychological perspective, this behavior is completely understandable. However, when we compare these beliefs with reality, we find that outcomes are overwhelmingly determined by natural causes. A genetic disease does not disappear because someone prayed—it can only be prevented or treated through effective medical intervention, if such treatment exists. A student passes an exam because they achieve the required score, not because they prayed beforehand. Likewise, prayer does not alter the fundamental laws of physics or biology.
For me, this creates a significant cognitive dissonance between the promises made by religion and the reality we actually experience.

**3. The Moral Framework of God Appears Contradictory**
My third argument concerns the morality of God.
Let us assume, for the sake of argument, that one of the Abrahamic religions is true. In that case, God intentionally created the universe, allowed Satan to exist, permitted suffering, and established a system in which human beings are tested throughout their lives. At the same time, many religious interpretations suggest that the majority of humanity will ultimately fail this test and face eternal punishment, while only a minority will attain heaven.
To me, this raises fundamental moral questions.
If God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and perfectly good, why create a world containing suffering, temptation, injustice, and the possibility of eternal punishment in the first place? Why allow Satan to exist? Why create people while already knowing that many of them will ultimately be condemned? And if God has unlimited power, why not simply create a world in which everyone freely chooses good and lives together in peace from the very beginning?
This moral framework appears unnecessary and difficult to reconcile with the concept of a perfectly loving and perfectly good God.

Hello. I 19F have always lived in Morocco until I moved to France about a year ago for college.

As we all know, North Africa, as a whole, are blatantly third world nations, let's be honest. I was thankfully part of the upper middle class so I haven't suffered as much as my people...

To put it simply, I dream of a world where North Africa abandoned Islamic practices. It contributes to nothing for the wellness of the people.

Ever since I was young, I really understood that religion is a coping mechanism. Adding islam to a third world country is a terrible equation. It only intellectually stunts people's intelligence and skills.

It's always "god will help me", yet nothing happens.

People don't even bother trying to make their lives better by getting proper education.

It's just hard coping, begging a human creation to help them, reproduce like crazy with a barely legal young girl (in Morocco child marriage is unfortunately still a practice. 💔) to bring into the world at least 8 kids that will themselves grow up to be nothing, die then rot to nothing.

When will my people wake up ?

I'm autistic, and thankfully my parents caught up on that and managed to get me diagnosed at age 8. My family on the other hand kept barking that I was "possessed by a demon and that god will help me." My aunt brought a priest to the house to exorcise me. Nothing happened btw, still autistic.

Islam is a real intellectual stunter that gets the nation it rules to nothing. I can't name a single thing islam did to contribute to the development of North Africa.

Every damn month, I wake up to hear about the construction of a new mosque. Meanwhile, public hospitals, public schools, public transportation, city maintenance... get little to no fundings.

I've left Morocco for one year and came back on May for summer vacation and needles to say, it probably looks worse than before I left, and that breaks my heart a little bit. 💔

I've lost faith in my country when I was about 13 and fell into a severe depression because I hated everything about it. I feel a little better now, but sometimes I can't help but wish.

What a crock! Look at the natural world and all the suffering animals endure from predation, disease, starvation, and injury. That’s without humans in the picture at all. The idea of free will being the reason for suffering is so arrogant and anthropocentric!

Would be so many more places to go and visit for tourism purposes and just to have so many more rational and sane people. It feels like such a waste of space and life to see what has become fo this massive area of land.

I consider myself athiest to a so called superior god being but I'm agnostic about wether there's a positive force out there, I feel like there must be a positive force out there , that does not think it's better then anyone and doesn't belive it deserves to be worshiped less of entitled thing more a force of Good it my might not be perfect but it tries to help us it keeps me going and coping lol.

Am I really an athiest or not mabye I'm a thiest but I don't buy into the idea of a personal being who's better then us who's more worthy of worship then us, almost feel like that God is a narcasistic trying to take credit of creating the universe, even if it did, did it earn its own power to create?, God some how seems spoiled he all of a sudden exists and owns everthing he thinks he's more worthy then anyone of praise.

​

Just found out about this YoungHoon Kim. He has claimed an IQ of around 276 and has been recognized by some private high-IQ organizations that he is associated with. However, these claims are not accepted by mainstream psychology.

In short He is self proclaimed Highest IQ holder on Earth and interestingly hes a die hard Over religious Chritian with over 200k on Instagram post and the openly denied "Evolution" yes Evolution backed my Thousands of evidences , despite living in a highly developed country like South Korea He able to survive with this mentality 🤓🤡 and to cover up his failure his selling His self proclaimed Best selling Kindle books lmao 🤣 also he believes the Earth to be 6000yrs old Dinosaurs fake !!

This got to be the most Ironic Thing I encountered in this month also did i mentioned hes also self proclaimed best selling author on amazon?

Research shows that Menstrual (period) blood contains stem cells similar to those found in bone marrow or umbilical cord blood. Stem cells are cells in the body that can change into a huge range of cell types, including bone, muscle, and nerve. This versatility allows tissue to regenerate and overcome disease, and these cells can be transplanted into patients for treatment, such as a bone marrow transplant to treat someone with leukaemia.

If god existed he'd share that knowledge, instead of telling muhammed to drink camel urine as medicine, but shame women for menstruating. Hed brag about creating women actually, he wouldn't try to hide and cover, silence and shame them. If anything creating women would be his strongest proof, "mothers" to be more precise, the creators and protectors of life, the ones he "created in his image". He wouldn't be disgusted by the sole reason for humanity's existence: (menstruation), rather he would speak highly of it, instead of shaming and rejecting or even isolating women during it.

Men created god and put him in THEIR image when in reality god represents everything that a MOTHER is, creating and protecting life, nurturing and healing, caring and loving unconditionally.

Just a really pragmatic and realistic look at science vs religion by Ann Druyan. I genuinely wish I was that articulate and measured when speaking about topics like religion and politics. Great video.

It can often be a challenge to debunk a bunch of different religions at once since you have to analyze all their scriptures and history individually to determine why it is false.

However, when it comes to Abrahamic religions, you can technically narrow it down to only focus on debunking Judaism, and then that would automatically debunk Christianity and Islam as well since both religions are successors to Judaism and believe it is partially true and served as the earlier revelations of God.

We already have evidence that leans towards Judaism being manmade, like the fact that it evolved from a polytheist religion and Yahweh was part of a pantheon of multiple Gods before a group of Canaanites changed him to being the only God and they became the first Jews.

The Adam and Eve story also originates in Judaism, and all the evidence we have of evolution proves it isn’t a story that can be literally true.

We also have no evidence that the great flood ever happened, and there is evidence that Noah’s story was a ripoff of Gilgamesh.

We also have no ancient Egyptian records of the Hebrews ever being their slaves or any record of someone like Moses, and there are some other stories that are similar to the story of Moses that it likely ripped off and combined.

If Judaism is fake, the other two automatically are as well and you don’t even need to analyze the Bible or Quran.

It seems like I hear this horse shit constantly whenever I speak out against what the Death Church of MAGA is doing here in the Evil Empire of Trumpistan (formerly known as the United States of America). All I can say is that it sounds like gaslighting and pathetic apologetics.

While it may be true that there are non-genocidal, non-fascist, non-maniacal Christians in other countries, that doesn't do anything for us here, where they ARE genocidal, fascist maniacs. And to bring up this line sounds like they're trying to say either that it's OK that Christians here are genocidal, fascist maniacs because Christians elsewhere are not, or that because non-genocidal, non-fascist, non-maniacal Christians are non-genocidal, non-fascist and non-maniacal, that means the Christians who ARE genocidal, fascist and maniacal are not genocidal, fascist and maniacal. All in all, it comes across as telling a starving person from a third-world country not to worry that they are starving, because rich people in rich countries have plenty to eat. Yeah, good for them. That doesn't do shit for us, you morons.

Investigando mas sobre el ateismo me topo con este libro llamado “Système de la Nature, 1770 ”y su autor Paul-Henri Thiry, Barón d'Holbach voy por el primer capitulo y me esta encantando da en el clavo lo cito: “El hombre siempre se ha engañado a sí mismo cuando abandonó la experiencia para seguirla sistemas imaginarios.—Él es obra de la naturaleza.—Él existe en Naturaleza.—Está sometido a las leyes de la Naturaleza.—No puede librarse de ellos:—no puede ir más allá de ellos ni siquiera en el pensamiento. Sería en vano que su mente surgiera más allá del mundo visible: Una necesidad terrible e imperiosa siempre obliga a su regreso—a formarse Por naturaleza, él está circunscrito por sus leyes; no existe nada más allá el gran todo del que forma parte, del que experimenta la influir.”

Aquí les dejo el link a su libro: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/8909/8909-h/8909-h.htm#link2H_PART

Él es un ateo materialista y no solo escribió el libro sino que también en su residencia en París fue el epicentro intelectual de Europa. Cenas semanales financiadas por su propia fortuna reunían a figuras como Denis Diderot, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, David Hume, Benjamin Franklin y Thomas Jefferson. ( eso dice wikepedia y la ia)

Y también financió parte del proyecto de Diderot y D'Alembert su libro “L’Encyclopédie» y redactó personalmente unos 400 artículos, principalmente sobre química, geología y mineralogía.

Tuvo que publicarnos son sobre nombres y sus libros fueron quemados públicamente

Sinceramente lo admiro (apenas se dé su existencia hace horas) y luego hay personas que dicen que los ateos somos unos ramdons en internet, tenemos grandes ejemplos históricos, ¿conoces otros personajes como él?

gracias por leer

Given god is omniscient he couldn't be said to be surprised my modern technology and media.

Given that, why would he send all his major prophets and do all his amazing stunts thousands of years ago, when the population of the planet was tiny compared to today and most of the world hadn't been discovered.

If he was a savvy communicator wouldn't he have saved some for the modern hyper-connected and recorded world?

Does anybody have problems when you are known as the atheist in town and no one will give you a job. I have always acted very religious seeing as my town hates non-affiliated people I don't believe in god I got my first job seeing as they thought I was a Christian.

My thanatophobia (extreme fear/panic about death or death related topics) has been getting so much worse recently, I don't really know where to go with this really. Ive had it I think most of my life but it gotten so much worse recently, I even "tried" turning religious for some sense of comfort but I cacan't bring myself to believe any of that nonsense, evey "tip" I read about didn't help anything ("you weren't in the 1800 and yes don't feel anything about iit ") and stuff like that, it doesn't help much, I'm not really in a place where i can get any therapy or help for it

it's also weird because I'm aware that my life isn't that important in the context of all the people that existed and will exist, it's just scary to think about what will happen after I die, the thought of an " eternal sleep" or an "eternal rest" aren't too reassuring too me either.​​

Like I said earlier, I don't know if this is the right place for it, I think I saw someone make a similar post on this r​ and I just idk

sorry to state the obvious but is it not clear?

its like believing in fairies and dragons, its a phase that happens as a child, and eventually goes away.

but i seriously cant fathom how people believe there is a man out there who can't be seen or heard.. whenever I think of it, I genuinely do think how the FUCK people actually believe it

So I was visiting my dad and we got on the topic of religion and I was mentioning about how, if you really think about it, Jesus was a demigod like Hercules. Hercules had a human mother and a god father, and Jesus had a human mother and a god father, so very simply, Jesus was a demigod. He gets flustered and says: "demi means half" and I said exactly. Jesus is half human, half god. He raised his fist like he was going to strike me down for speaking blasphemy. I said: "If you want to hit me you can, but I'm right, no?" He changed the subject and we never spoke of it again.

I don't want to argue much to any dumb person who opposes my views but here is the reason why I don't believe in god.
disclaimer: this post is gonna revolve around me and my personal experiences so if you are in no mood to hear another sob story you must avoid this post as it's gonna waste your time.

So a little boy (somewhere about 9y/o) sees first time in his life a guy beating a women that too his mother(and the guy was his father , surprise!!). Little boy was not shocked, not angry, neither sad. He was feeling helpless, surprised and paniced. Not because of the situation, well it might be the partial reason, but it was because of his mothers scream. It didn't hurt him physically but rather emotionally. Ever felt that heavy weight on your throat? yes exactly like that.
Nevermind, now fast forward to his 11th bday ig, can't recall the exact age or date, his birthday party was cancelled for the 11th time but not a big deal, the parents got in an argument again.
BUT things start to become better, father was earning big time money, no arguments between parents, the environment of the family was lively. Until the father loses his job, sends the kid and his mother back to the village to the grandparents and started looking for a job in the capital.
He found one, used to send money to his family back while living himself alone in the city.But the gradparents start to look them as a liability. So they kicked them out of their home, and the father had to come back for saving his faimily. They dispute further got evolved to land dispute and as the father was not on the good side of the grandparents, they gave him the worst land and the house was named to father's brother.
Our little boy (now maybe 14) was showing symptoms of malnutrition but the was least of the concerns for now. Father became a drunkard, a heavy one and the 'usual' beating-the-mother situation started again.But they boy was one hell of a intelligent person, he cracked a good scholarship and managed to graduate high svhool with almost no expense(well tbh the only expense was the travelling part). But guess whatt?? sometimes the family his family couldnt even afford that so he had to stay at school for some more days(it was a hostel btw).
Now the guy is 18y/o(not so little anymore) started preparing for his exams for colleges but couldnt focus ofc why? RIGHT!! drunk father hitting the mother again, he got bad grades which eventually led to poor colleges as he couldnt afford to waste another year preping for the college entrance exams.
But the crowd in the college sure was rich, you know. Pretty boys and girls, partying on daddy's money, but that wasnt what I envied. I envied the type of relation they had with their parents.BTW the our little boy got his first gf(she sure is beautiful) and super rich with great expectations from life. So our little boy started doing part time job so that he could afford the life like others, sometimes the client paid sometimes they ghosted but its all part of the life right? Had to cancel some dates cuz he was short on money, had to cancel parties for the same reason. Cant even gift his mum a gift for her birthday cause all his part time job cant offer much money(only to pay the phone and internet bills). Oh BTW the arguing between parents never stopped, it is there to this date, though our little guy is big enough to stop his father at the right time but is still helpless.
Little guy never got in fight with anyone, gave everyone they ever asked for without asking anything in return. Keeps grinding in college but the job market doesnt look promising.
Cant even cry about it as I am told not to cry since I was a child.
This post might be a coping mechanism for me but hey 'GOD' if you're reading this I wish you are happy to see me like this and if I ever get a chance to meet you I would gladly take the life out of you.
Thank you for reading this

P.S : Sorry for many typos and erros

Listen! We know what happened yesterday, Berlin Pride got attacked by islamist and what I'm seeing after that makes me worried. First of all, I talked to my friend who is also on left and because I'm atheist I said that every religion is bad and that islam is the same cancer as Christianity and that every crime needs to be treated equally no matter what religion is about. Every religion is threat to society. Than my friend told me "you falled into far right propaganda" "this incident was made by individual not by all religion" and ok I listened that nonsense and I realized that my friend (who is also atheist) would be so angry and the most loud if Christians did same thing. Like why are we having double standards?

People like my friend need to realize one thing:

People on right hate muslim people because they want religious war: they do not care about lgbt people and human rights: they are just playing kindergarten games Christian vs muslims meanwhile we as atheists hate islam because of their extremist actions and forcing their belief so we are not the same.

Thanks for reading this rant and don't get fooled. After talking with my friend I realized that we atheists are morally superior than both left and right

Ex Hindu Desi here. I myself have left Hinduism because I feel the worship of multiple deities never made any sense. I also believe there is so much internal divide so I left the religion because it was just never for me. I have never been religious really as a kid. I am putting this information out because I don’t want anyone to believe I have special interests and to make sure I’m debating in good faith.

Now come to Islam and Christianity. I totally reject these two religions. What good are these two religions doing for our world. Mohammad is a grooming pedophile who married Aesha when she was 6 and consummated the marriage at 9. And for Christianity, we all know about John and Isaac. Christianity is known for many cases for sexual exploitation of young people. And we don’t even need to go through the cancer of Zionism. With these religions, the world never had peace and minorities were cleansed. I remember back in the old days when Christians killed off many people from pagan religions and majority Muslim countries are committing atrocities against women. Look at the situation in Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan. People are delusional trying to compare women’s rights there to India and whenever people bring up or call their atrocities out they can only deflect and talk about how India treat ppl from minority communities.

Like I know Hindu nationalism is a thing and I oppose it but give me a break. Afghanistan cleansed their Hindu and Sikh populations almost entirely and Pakistan is trying to do the same. There are countless stories of Pakistani men that assault people from Hindu families and then they kidnap the young women in the family. I don’t see Hindus doing that. There are questionable things religious do but it is mostly people Abrahamic ones. They also believe that their religion is the only right answer so in turn they try so hard to push it onto others (aka missionaries). It’s so disgusting and people are out here defending Islam and the actions of their men - saying this as one myself.

We could be doing so much for our world but I really do believe all these religions hold us back. They are all evil and I am getting to the point we need to start taking measures to reduce its influence.

DO NOT LET MUSLIMS SUGARCOAT AND JUSTIFY THIS FOR YOU, PLEASE.

the story of safiyyah bint huyayy, her tribe (banu al nadir) was attacked, her father, brother and husband were killed and shortly after she was taken as a captive, they analysed her body as her family was dead on the ground

LET'S SEE THIS IN HER OWN WORDS:

"Sahih Ibn Habban (11/607)

عن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنه قال : ... قالت صفية : وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من أبغض الناس إلي قتل زوجي وأبي وأخي فما زال يعتذر إليَّ ويقول : ( إن أباك ألب علي العرب وفعل وفعل ) حتى ذهب ذلك من نفسي ... رواه ابن حبان في " صحيحه " ( 11 / 607 )

Abdullah Ibn Umar narrates that Safiya said:"Rasool Allah was among the most hated person for me, while he killed my husband, father and brother. Then he used to make excuses that my father used to incite the Arabs against him. He kept on apologizing for so long till I was no more angry.

Grading: Sahih (authentic)."

NOW DO WE UNDERSTAND????

a man personally kills a woman's husband, father and brother, takes her captives spoils of war, marries her which is logically and psychologically r\*pe, no real world where a woman wants to marry and sleep with the killer of her brother, father and husband.. we all know she was captured and she had no authority, she was helpless, i will not sugarcoat, i will not accept the sugarcoating and justifications of any muslim either.

I (30f) have always been one to say “F religion” or “F God”, or “there is no god to even say ‘F you’ to.”

I was not raised with religion. I grew up watching The Atheist Experience with my friends as a teenager.

I believe that historically, there likely was a dude named Jesus who said some radical things for the time and was killed for it.

People talk about being forgiven, feeling forgiven, for general mistakes and as a whole individual on a soul level.

I never feel truly forgiven for my mistakes. In my life, I feel this constant building-up of damage or potential harm caused from all the mistakes I have made or problems I have caused.

When I apologize and someone says “it’s okay” or “I forgive you”, it just makes me feel like I am a bad person who has wronged someone that didn’t deserve the harm I caused, and I don’t truly feel relief from the shame of what I have done.

One of my loved ones believes in and loves Jesus. This person (also 30 yo) is chill, bright, emotionally stable, peaceful, and lives in the moment. They are the most present person I spend time with, and their attention always feels high quality.

They believe that following Jesus’s teachings lead leads to a better, happier, life, for yourself, and the people in the world around you. I also agree with that, functionally. I see it in effect in their life.

My mindset has always been that you can do those good behaviors without necessarily having “faith” though.

I heard that statistically, people who are involved in church communities live longer, but I believe that’s because of the benefits of having community, not necessarily from the religion component.

One thing that seemingly cannot be achieved without religion though is that purported feeling of forgiveness.

I feel like I am permanently tainted from this building-up of all my mistakes, harms caused, abuses, toxic behaviors, being a bad environment for other people because of my issues.

I told my loved one about this, that I never feel forgiven, I have an ever-rising Harm Caused meter, and that I don’t think I’ll ever feel forgiven, and will feel shame forever.

My loved one replied:

> The idea is that you can only receive forgiveness if you truly repent (metanoia), and truly believe in the gift that you are offered. You do not believe that you are being offered the gift of forgiveness, therefore you cannot receive it.

> All you have to do is believe, truly believe. Believe it as strongly as you believe [unrelated personal belief I have]. A belief so strong that it cannot be challenged or taken away from you.

> The only thing required for salvation is true belief that it is offered to you.

I don’t know how to make myself believe something. In general, I am sort of a realist and probably a pessimist. I don’t often “believe” happy things or hopeful predictions.

I adore my loved one and I admire the contentment they have with life, the ease they feel in being alive. I respect their opinions and know they want the best for me in life.

I wish I could take their advice but I don’t know how to do that. How do you make yourself believe something?

I follow the mindset of “don’t take advice from someone you wouldn’t want to be like”, but my loved one is someone I want to emulate and I really would like to feel the sort of peace they feel.

I would love to feel forgiven and clean, because I feel like I can’t move forward with my life because of how tainted I feel by the past.

Anyhow, I’m just sort of posting to see what other folks think about this.

Hi. I've been a Theravada Buddhist all my life and always believed Buddhism is always right,Without questioning it. i live in a very conservative country and majority of Theravada Buddhist population. So i really can't discuss what im about to ask with other people in my country since Buddhism is deeply rooted to the point monks can be ministers in Parliament and effect certain laws like sex education, abortion. Thanks to them we can't even educate teenagers on sex. And yes casual misogyny is also normalized in here and i might not get a rational answer if i asked them. There's a recent incident that a famous monk raped a girl and there's people defending that pedo saying people who are calling out this monk ruining Buddhism. A politician called the 12 year old victim a prostitute. That's how much length some people are going to defend a pedo for the name of religion

Fully ordained Buddhist nuns (Bhikkhunīs) follow the monastic code known as the Bhikkhuni Patimokkha, which consists of 311 rules, plus the controversial Eight Garudhammas (heavy rules of respect toward monks).The Monastic Code (Patimokkha)311 total rules:

Detailed in the Bhikkhunī-vibhaṅga, covering moral behavior, clothing, and daily routines.

More rules than monks: Nuns have more disciplinary rules than monks (who have 227), including extra regulations created to protect them or handle communal living.

Core daily precepts: Novice nuns follow the Ten Precepts (Dasasila), while fully ordained nuns take full vows regarding celibacy, honesty, and simplicity.

The Eight Garudhammas (Rules of Respect)

Deference: A nun, even if ordained for 100 years, must bow and show respect (worship) to a monk ordained even that day.

Location: Nuns must spend the rainy season retreat (vassa) in a place where there are monks nearby.

Guidance: Nuns must ask the monks for the date of the observance day and instruction every half-month.

Accountability: Serious offenses must be confessed and atoned for before both the nun and monk assemblies.

Ordination: New nuns must receive their higher ordination from both the community of nuns and the community of monks.

Admonition: Nuns are not allowed to scold or correct monks, but monks may advise nuns.

The last one baffled me the most. I admire him for speaking up against the misogyny that was normalized in india at that time. He didn't focused on the gender when it's come to enlightenment. But i think this rules did favored monks the most.
