Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses can identify with so much of what you've been through, as well as former members of so many other cults.

[@MenacingRabbit]

You need to stay with biblical doctrine and avoid those mega churches and false man made doctrine. Many don’t want to read so they get misled.

[@MenacingRabbit]

@Art Becher Islam is one of the worst cults ever ! Are you a follower of prophet Muhammad?

[@MenacingRabbit]

@Art Becher al salaam maleko, I hope you Ramadan is going well? May I ask if we could have a proper discussion without insults, deflections and especially Taqiyya! Would you be willing to come decent your prophet and his teachings?

[@MenacingRabbit]

@Art Becher Paul lying doesn’t change anything about G-d, all of mankind is flawed from the beginning including Muhammad. Which version of the Koran would you like to reference from? I take it you accept the hadiths as well correct? Are you Sunni or Shia ?

[@MenacingRabbit]

@Art Becher Paul also killed Christians, Moses had anger issues and killed Egyptians and Noah was a drunk. What does this exactly have to do with G-d again? G-d uses us all to carry on His message. Let’s check the many versions of Koran; 43:10 Sahih International [The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided Muhsin Khan Who has made for you the earth like a bed, and has made for you roads therein, in order that you may find your way, Pickthall Who made the earth a resting-place for you, and placed roads for you therein, that haply ye may find your way; Yusuf Ali (Yea, the same that) has made for you the earth (like a carpet) spread out, and has made for you roads (and channels) therein, in order that ye may find guidance (on the way); Shakir He Who made the earth a resting-place for you, and made in it ways for you that you may go aright; Dr. Ghali (He) Who made the earth to be a cradle for you and made ways for you therein that possibly you would be guided. So which one of these Koran versions is the correct and true? It’s talking about earth being flat! Do you consider suffi, Shia, wahabe and Sunni to be Muslims?

U should be commended for your courage and persistence. It's hard to be an ex-Muslim openly. Not all that long ago, even in supposedly secular countries like the US, it was hard to be an ex-Christian too. It still is for some, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, fundamentalists, or Mormons. These large powerful cults start to improve only when publicity reveals horrifying and embarrassing facts about just how bad they really are and ex-believers start to leave in droves, taking their money with them.

@@muslimwhostrying Almost everything. Ask the question does my cult impede the individual liberty of another cult? Does their cult stop you from having your freedom?

[@muslimwhostrying]

@@silverltc2729 Never thought of it like that. But what if I make sacrifices to prove my faith upon God? And to prove I love him?

[@silverltc2729]

@@muslimwhostrying You mean Qurbani? Sacrifice that you do in front of others? Consider prophet Ibrahim. He was *asked* to sacrifice his own son. (Debateable whether it was Ishmael or Ishaq). It didn't happen, why? Because 1. The Creator of Adam knew what was already in his heart and you could argue that he didn't even be needed to ask 2. It sets a precedence for the future events- i.e the notion that the Messiah was sacrificed for your sins because it is the Creator that loves you more than you could ever love him. I will assume you don't believe that this incident with Isa happened. If you know the Creator hates sin, why do you still sin? 3. It took life away from his son- after Abraham we know Moses brought the 10 commandments. One of which was "Thou shalt not kill". There is nothing that you can do to save yourself. It is by the Most Highs grace and mercy alone. I can back this with scripture. Can you remember Cain and Abel? Can used his own works for the atonement of sin but Abel used an innocent lamb that God provided. Cain used his hands, and it was a bad sacrifice. All Abel did was spill the blood and have faith that it would be accepted. The difference is, we are not lambs, we are human beings with equal right to life and a freedom to love our Creator and fellow humanbeings.

[@user-xy3dp9ec8e]

Holding "good" values and morals and even have the sense of feeling guilt and shame proves that their is a God. And most of us regardless of having faith or not and believing in God or not sometimes have this feeling of guilt and shame if we do something considered "wrong". Even the concept of right and wrong proves there's an all-judging god. Because if there was no God and no right and wrong and no concept of heaven and hell then you would never even have these innate feelings of sometimes having guilt or shame after commiting a wrong-doing. The fact that their are good deeds and bad deeds prove the concept of there being a god who will judge us accordingly. And the fact that your spirit/soul gravitates towards doing reightous deeds shows that there is an innate moral compass within us, this then demands the question; why do we have this innate moral compass? Well its because there is something called justice. And justice within itself proves there is a god. And this human need for justice shows us that there is a hereafter. Because alot of the times in this temporary world we won't be served justice, for e.g. someone might murder another human or rape a child/woman, and they never get caught due to police (police are humans) negligence and because of the deficient human justice system that us humans have cultivated for ourselves, these criminals then live the rest of their temporary life scotfree and in some unfortunate cases without even feeling remorse. So then what about these people i.e. both criminals and victims and what about the need for justice. If there was no hereafter then why is it that sometimes these criminals go scotfree in this world. Its because there is an all-judging god who sees and will judge in the hereafter and will take them to account. If it wasn't for a god then why are we even here, this concept of living and being created would be silly if it wasn't for a god to judge us and for there to be a hell and heaven. Guilt and shame is a feeling from god and to do the right thing because there is an innate desire of our souls to reach heaven. At the end of the day we need god, God doesn't need us. For the thousands of Muslims who leave Islam, Allah will ease the guidance of thousands of non-muslims into Islam. So you leaving islam has no effect on Allah/god. Atleast no athiest can deny that we have some sort of soul/spirit, this innate being inside us craving a source of divine power, without this divine power we would feel a void. For those who just think they were created to be on this earth for a few decades without reason and then die and thats the end of it are just pure ignorant and foolish. The fact that there is something called death is the ultimate proof of god, an all divine power beyond any other power in this world. For those who for e.g. die of natural causes they themselves don't decide when they will die, if it was upto us all we would want to live forever. But the fact that we have no power over our death, by that i mean nobody can prevent death, everyone and everything in this world will taste death at some point no matter how much they try to prevent it, this just shows who is in ultimate power; God. Essentially athiesm is just name for someone who considers themselves to be their own God/judge/provider/forgiver/helper.

[@atheodorasurname6936]

You just jumped to a false conclusion that holding good morals or values somehow "proves" that your "god" exists. Wrong. It does not prove the existence of any "god" -- let alone yours. It just means a person has an innate logical ability to determine what is fair, just, decent conduct, what their family and community approves of as morally right, and what they disapprove of as wrong. Just as we have an inborn sense of physical balance and imbalance, we also have an inborn logical sense of what is good and bad, moral and immoral. No "god" whatsoever is needed.

[@atheodorasurname6936]

You misspelled the words "there", "righteous", "committing", and "atheist". Several times you ran two words together, such as "alot" instead of "a lot" and "Atleast" instead of "At least". You used "its" where you meant "it's". You put a semicolon where you needed a colon. Etc. All those misspellings and poor punctuation make you look careless and ignorant. Education and spellcheck don't require any belief in "god" but they can still be your good "friends".
