Hi there
Just sharing late night thoughts and feelings: though so lonely and suffocated but there's no way I could go back to that shitty religion... I just can't!?

Awww thank you very much for your kindness, indeed I'm enjoying the freedom and will never look back!
I love chatting here.. can't believe I found you guys ❤
Yes! That! ?
Did your religion really make you less lonely & suffocated? I would be interested in hearing more. I feel lonely a lot too.

To some extent yes and for some reasons: first of all, socially I used to feel more accepted because I used to have the same beliefs as the family, friends and potential partners. Now that this changed, I find myself obliged to hide everything in our discussions as my ideas are always attacked back.
Secondly I used to practice prayers which sometimes made me feel a relief and that I'm not alone in this world.
Loneliness comes from fact that you're different and suffocation comes from oppression!
Hope this answers your question ??
@Dreamer777 Yes thank you. It has affected your ability to interact with others. I was wondering if you'd meant that god was keeping you company before, but if he was why would you go atheist. Sometimes it takes a while to find a new social circle. Good luck!
@Carin I'm not atheist, I'm more agnostic/ Dieist..x-muslim.. I guess that it takes time aa you said so maybe I should try to be more open to meeting new people who don't have issues with irreligiousness...
Also I want to encourage you to never go back if it's going to make you unhappy. It's not worth it

No my dear, I'm not going back anyways.
I feel you. I can't either. It's horrible. However, I understand the feeling loneliness. It's not comforting. It's a shame there aren't more people in the US willing to have a conversation without "God" being the center of it.

No only that.. they don't tolerate any agnosticism or atheism talk at all, regardless of their faith.
@Dreamer777 yeah it's crazy. I have a religious background but I was nothing like that. If I hear "Gods will" one more time. I'm gonna tell them about my will
@MrChange yeah lol
If I were going to go back to religion, I would become a witch. Chemistry, astronomy, geology, etc, all wrapped up in hoodoo & hokum.

Oh wow,
I'm impressed by your courage to say that it's all lies. Some people believe in magic...
Some would argue that witchcraft is not a religion but a practice of combining science and spirituality. Only those who seek religious factors find them in that.
Enjoy being online again!
