Reminder that Muhammad is supposed to have married a 6 year old and raped her at 9
Really, it’s almost certain that neither Muhammad nor Aisha existed at all. But it’s still pretty nasty that Muslims worship a fictional person who’s supposed to have raped a child in the fictional stories about him.
All religion is bad, but I find Islam to be especially bad.

She was amazing, but our future become a really hard question.
I never thought religion can become big problem in dating until I met someone who I really like. We get along very well, same humor, same hobbies, and honestly she was one of the nicest person I ever meet. The problem only appear when we start talking about future.
She is religious and I am atheist. At first we don't think it will be big issue. We just enjoy spending time together. But later she start talking about marriage, family, and children. Then suddenly there was many questions we don't have answer for.
She want our future kids to follow her religion, and I understand why because it's important for her. But for me, I don't feel okay with forcing something I don't believe. Damn, it was hard because nobody was really wrong here. We just see life from very different place.
In the end we decide to stop because we know love alone cannot fix everything. I still think she is great person, and I don't hate her belief. Sometimes two good people can love each other but still cannot build same future.
Have you ever dated someone with very different belief? How did you handle it?

Question about a family argument and islam
​
Assalam alaykum,
My parents and I got into an argument, it started with me sitting in the living room at night, not knowing my sister and mother were in a problem, this caused my mother to lash out on me and start an argument on how she feels tired and we are being useless. The issue escalated when she started attacking me personally with her words mentioning 2 points that hurt me; how I dont study (even though I am expecting 90 inshallah for tawjihi) and how I don't have friends (this hurt the most cause its not the first tike she brings it up and each time I say I like to keep my friend groups small)
After the argument once she said those two points I stood up and left saying "allah la iysamhik" to her before going to bed
Fast forward 4 days, my father and mother sit me down to talk. I was very open minded and had no issues to try and resolve this. I started by apologising for saying "allah la iysamhik", once i apologised they started ranting and talking saying I was fully in the wrong. They kept talking not letting me speak, after a while I got mad and asked if I will hear an apology as well or if this is just a rant session I am forced to hear..., it escalated and my father took my mother's side and I left the conversation with them mad and shouting saying im "assee walidayn"
I ignored them for couple of days, today however my father sat me down on the table, he kept provoking me to make me try and talk to my mother, he told me to give her something which I refused saying she isn't talking to me and I am not talking to her, my father then went ballistic and furious and started ranting on how im not a good son, when I replied saying "they arent above islam and islam tells us that the oppressed defends themselves from the oppression and that islam doesn't tell us to blindly let our parents walk all over us that he went silent, once i said that if the prophet apologised to people why dont they for they arent above the prophet is when my father went mad again. He pulled me, screamt at me and kicked me out of the house (still fresh kick, so i am not sure what will happen at night)
I just want to know, am I in the wrong, and in the future can I cut them off completely for my sanity,
I just need to know الله isn't mad at me because of this,

I never actually believed in nonsense
My deconstructing of religion came easily for me to be honest, i realized when i took a notebook and started writing my thoughts that i always had my doubts, i just needed to acknowledge them.
Im 27 yo and ive always felt like and outcast in the conservative, religious community i grew up in. I think ive been an atheist my whole life, i just didn't know. I never realized until i left that i was basically pretending the whole time, I've always had questions. I coped by basically covering my ears, eyes and mouth, which never worked as i always went head to head with my family about religion. I didn't pray much growing up, i even stopped completely during college, I simply walked away from the religion amd never looked back...
It was like being locked in a room ur whole life where there's a gas leak but u never notice until u finally step outside and smell the fresh air. You physically can not go back inside that room no matter how much try, not that i want to ofc. The worst part is that u cant get the people inside the room to leave, no matter how good u describe the fresh air and the vast world outside. The crazy part is that once you're outside you can't believe how are these people aren't noticing the smell?! How are they so blind? Especially the women...
my sister is going through an extremely religious phase right now and its kinda scary ngl, she's becoming abusive and hateful. My sister used to be my best friend, she was an incredible artist, but now shes just an angry, aggressive and a very insecure woman with the emotional maturity of a child. If i express any disagreement, she'll flip out on me, calling me names and insulting me. I always retreated, just to keep the peace, until one day i couldn't take it and crashed tf out. We barely see eye to eye anymore...
My only consolation is that i wasnt that strict when it comes to religion, so i lived my life for the most part, yet so much of my life was and still wasting away because of this religion and its followers, whom I still live among unfortunately.
