17 year old girl and have left islam AMA

I’ve asked many people too. Even my old mosque teacher. Still waiting.

Yes.

I believe you're the immature one here

How so? I’ve been respectful towards Muslims and said how I appreciate how beautiful mosques are. I just don’t think islam is for Me.

Leaving Islam is haram

i suppose you’ve read all the other threads....why make a similar one? You’re not any different...

We're all different. No one has the same life.

How’s your story different to all the others? You’ve left islam because you don’t believe in the teachings right?

Understandable. I haven’t looked at the other threads. I’m just bored. Why bother to reply and click and read this thread If you know it’s going to be the same? You’re not any different...

The contradictions really confused me. It’s a really complicated religion and I think it’s just so outdated. I completely agree with what you’re saying. I’ve always doubted islam but felt guilty right after. Do your family know youve left?

I'm not the thread starter, I just happen to have the same name.

When you initially leave islam, you will naturally (and unfortunately) feel some sort of guilt - it just shows how far the indoctrination of religion has gone during the early stages of childhood so when you've finally freed yourself from the shackles of religion and being in constantly fearing that what you do is never enough to please a god and having to worry about every little thing being a sin, you feel guilt and worry how people may view you. I don't speak for every ex muslim but this is how I felt. Give it time and you won't feel bad for leaving your religion and its long list of backward rules. Don't worry about how a community or family view you - people will say many things but just remain strong.

My family do not know that I've left islam lol! I'm waiting to become a bit more financially independent before I do say anything. Like many parents from asian backgrounds, they cannot fathom the idea of leaving a religion you were born into and take it as an insult. Not to mention the risk of more people finding out and being ostracised from family members or being kicked out from home. While some parents might not be 'strict muslims', I wonder why they cannot accept their kids leaving a religion and suddenly view them as a total stranger if they leave or treat them differently. You should love your kids unconditionally.

I'm lucky to be a guy where there a less religious pressures, to an extent. I'd hate to be a girl living under strict islamic parents...

Many reasons. I just thought how islam’s rules didn’t match with my own beliefs. Why would I follow a religion if I can’t accept what it says? Things like how men get hoor al ayn, women not being able to travel alone, homophobia and even premarital sex. I think religion is outdated and some of the rules are sexist. I just think people should just be good, help each other out without being condemned to hell just because you like the same Gender as your own. What made you leave?

Ok

See this is exactly how my train of thought works but I'm just too scared to leave it haha

Because back then the world was a very different place and nothing like how it is today. Look at it like this, perhaps she was fertile or he couldn't have children with anyone else. There are probably very understandable reasons for it but you'll have to open your mind a little bit more.

I think it’s a type of sauce ?

iSlam?? i think it's an apple product?
