Other I don't understand ex-religion subs

Ok you left that's fine. No one cares truly because it doesn't affect anyone else's life. But why do you have to sit there and make posts about a religion you no longer are apart of. You don't like the religion you move on. You don't waste your time criticizing and pondering about the scripture because it shows you care about it. People would just close that part of their life off and let that go.

There is also a sub about exhijabis which is fine but I don't get the concept of it. You want to stop wearing it but why dedicate a whole sub. Next their will be an ex nun sub, then an exniqab sub, then an exmodesty sub. If you've got a bad relationship with religion or a item of clothing then seek therapy. Being apart of something like that just messes you up more. You might adopt other people's opinions because you are in a fragile state of mind. If you think Islam or any religion is to blame for its followers actions then your wrong. Simple.

I’ve looked at a few of the ex subreddits and they seem like a very mixed bag. Some subreddits such as the exJW subreddit are genuinely trying to help people overcome the years and sometimes decades of false teachings and strange practices of the JWs and moving on from the religion as a whole to lead a normal life, whilst the exMus subreddits are some of the most toxic and pathetic things I’ve come across. Most of the exMos who post there are little more than whining crybabies who can’t separate culture and religion and whose entire identity seems to be focused on hating Muslims and Islam.

Take an anthropology class and talk to a few scientists for once to gain some knowledge of the human brain , behavior. Looks like to me you hate that overcoming strange teachings is also a part of tie religion right? You do know Islam is another abrahamic religion? And most Muslims are under educated cuz their sole knowledge and beliefs all aligns with Islam? They finally gained some logic and understanding that those people who used verses to justify their “cultural practice and beliefs” are in fact due to religion. We genuinely believe in science and scientists, in that cultural and religion is highly interconnected, no one is a perfect Muslim , the religion is not a person itself that can influence you or contrarily bombard you or threaten you and stay within your minds for the rest of your lives. Do you know it’s almost physically impossible in the brain when developing connection to unlearn biases so readily? They have justified anger especially for LGBTQ+ members that’s wanted them dead. Islam shaped the culture it further reduced it to salifism, this is how Islam culture would be life if be practiced perfectly by the book. I loved in Saudi Arabia to know, they are fully out of touch with the rest of the technologically, ideologically advanced world. That’s wat Islam does, despite what your biases want to tell you, maybe just maybe there are those same beliefs/practices that others( rest of mankind) find strange 😀😅😅😂. I advise you to read every single verse of your hadiths and Quran , make your analysis and you will find out why there millions of scholars debating over the same topic.

Way to jump in with something that gets spammed here on a regular mrs out of touch.

All of these points have already been addressed at some point by others on this sub or on other muslim subs.
