Hello everyone, I am an Ex-Muslim Atheist from Pakistan who likes to KISS (keep it short and simple).

A couple of years ago, I decided to study Islam (history, quran and hadith) in more depth and came to realise it is BS, unscientific and man-made like all other religions.

My transition from Islam to Atheism was gradual. After questioning Sunni and Shia Islam (which I was born into), I first became a Quranist. Even after leaving Quranism it was hard for me to let go of the idea of god (lifelong indoctrination) so I first became a deist, a pantheist, an agnostic and then finally an atheist.

Welcome.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

Hi kermit,

Welcome to CEMB

Are you safe where you are? Do you have friends you have told about your non-belief who have accepted it?

Hey welcome. Are you still in Pakistan, or are your parents from there and you live elsewhere now?

Well done for your journey so far

From what he said on the chat he is in Pak and therefore isn't out to his parents.

He might not respond quickly here as has to work through proxies.

Should I translate "eat" from a fundamentalist or a reformist perspective?

Not really. Only one who is an atheist himself, too bad he lives abroad now. Telling the rest would be like kermit-ting suicide.

Stop playing chess asbie. It is haraam and don't use the word obligatory for anything other than prayers because that is shirk.

Welcome Kermit. It's great for born and bred atheists like me to know that rationalism is alive and well and absolutely thriving in nuclear-powered Pakistan.

Very best wishes.

Unfortunately, irrationality and dogma are taking over due to Saudi Wahabist preaching and funding. I think Pakistan's nuclear weapons are in safe hands at-least until Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy is alive and I hope we get more people like him in the future.
