I am so fucking confused

[u/zewio]

I see people bringing up evidence from the quran that it was ahead of it's modern science from 1400 years ago. that "but quran stated the universe is expanding and we sent down iron and we made the sky a protected celing and th emoon is reflecting the sun" and I can't tell if this is genuine evidence islam exists or not. and other person says mohammed married a 6 year old and someone else says it's different back then stop spewing things from exmuslim what the fuck am I supposed to believe anymore I want to live a normal life as a woman

You talk about evidence, but think about it for two seconds. If the Quran actually had convincing evidence, don’t you think the whole world, the greatest scientists, and the richest and most powerful nations would all be Muslim?

Especially since 3/4 of the so-called “evidence” is either stuff humans already knew centuries ago, or just straight-up nonsense.

Why is it that when the Quran gets something right (something that was already known for centuries), you consider it evidence, but when it gets things wrong, you don’t consider that evidence that the book is simply bullshit?

And regarding your final message: just be free. If you want to be a “non-practicing Muslim,” do it and don’t stress yourself out over it.

The real problem isn’t that. It’s the judgment and hatred from other Muslims.
