im sorry for everything thats happened in yr life. normalisation of all sort of heinous crimes seem to be a problem to us all even for us in the so call muslim country, n its disgusting.

in every strugle we hv to go through, we gona hv to face all three, the beliver, the non believer n the hypocrits .. n the hypocrits being the worst than the non believer. in ialam, we called them munafiqun.

n uhh... dont get me wrong but the surrah that u quoted from, it was from the surrah ar-ruum(the roman).. if its just a typo,

my apology.

i resonate with so much of what you say. but belief in a god/gods and being a good person are not mutually inclusive. you do not need religion to treat others with kindness, to go without for the sake of others and the web of life etc.

in many pursuits is purpose found. to manufacture purpose as something only belief in deities can provide is a blinkered view. atrocities are carried out in the names of gods every moment, each perpetrator believing their god is the only true god. are these people committing these atrocities good people because they have a religion?

humanity's obsession with the afterlife and attempting to shore up their post-incarnate fate via worship of abstract entities, rather than shore up the future of what is here now through conservation and caution is one of the chief reasons this planet is so neglected and abused.

the dominant religions are anthropocentric and anthropocentrism kills what some would call their respective god's creation.

its a problem. if only people had as much reverence for the creation as they do for the creator, our grandchildren, if they are not wiped out in holy wars, may not have to drink recycled urine to survive.

I done entirely disagree. Religion is used horrifically, and the most heartbreaking reality is that the prophets talked about this. That there would come a time when religion would be used to harm more than show love. So if you don’t have a relationship with God/Allah/Elohim but you are still a good person and doing good things, then (in my opinion) that’s a damned good place to start.

The evil forces of the world, would seek to divest us of our relationship with our Creator. But I’m no fool in thinking that the evil of the world hasn’t succeeded at equating religion and vile practices.

All I can do is my part and show the love and mercy of The Creator, and hope it will balance out somewhere.
