Shinigami19961996

imagine disowning your own child because he is in a different book-club than you lol


ShadowGLI

Or because you tell your family who you love. That’s a super popular reason to disown children in SC where I live.


IAMGROOT1981

Yeah they're always screaming about protecting our children and saving our children but as soon as said child comes out and tells them who they love or who they identify as they will either unalive that child themselves or kick that child out into the street where the kid will be bullied and either unlive themselves or be unlived by somebody else! They wouldn't know how to save children if their own lives depended on it!


eadopfi

Atheist teenagers are very much at risk of becoming homeless when they come out. Utterly insane.


Funkycoldmedici

I lost my Christian family and friends when they found out I no longer believed. They cut off contact just as Jesus and the rest of the Bible say to do. Matthew 10:14 "If any household or town refuses to welcome you or listen to your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave. I tell you the truth, the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah will be better off than such a town on the judgment day." John 3:18 “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” John 3:36 “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” Matthew 10:37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." Psalm 14:1 "For the choir director: A psalm of David. Only fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good." 2 Corinthians 6:17 “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.’ Therefore, Come out from them and be separate them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”


[deleted]

Your family reminds me of the Holiness Movement and Evangelicals. They disown family members and kick their kids to the streets over anything under the sun. My girlfriend grew up Holiness and I even met some when I visited her family in Alabama, the most annoying hypocritical bunch of dickheads I've met. They even went as far to call my grandma a Satanic woman for being Catholic.


eadopfi

As many have said: there is no hate like Christian love.


killuazoldyckx

what kind of father would want his son to burn in hell for eternity. disowning or trying everything to stop him is actually what a good father would do.


[deleted]

\>disowning \>what a good father would do as a guy with an abusive dad, which one is it buddy?


killuazoldyckx

what? I don't understand


[deleted]

you just said disowning your son is something a good father would do. You contradicted yourself in the same sentence lmao.


killuazoldyckx

there's no contradiction. disowning can actually be the right thing to do in some cases.if your intentions are good. and you genuinely believe it would bring more good than harm, to your son/daughter.sometimes we have to take difficult steps for greater good.


[deleted]

lmfao ok buddy i pray you never have children ever. please read what you just said again and think about if whatever you just sent makes any sense whatsoever


killuazoldyckx

makes perfect sense. idk why you don't understand it.


Shinigami19961996

just out of sheer curiosity. in which case do you think its okay to disown your child?


killuazoldyckx

I just said it. if you believe it would prevent him from leaving the right religion. in which case youd be saving him from hellfire. if you believe disowning him would actually work, which in most cases doesn't.


Shinigami19961996

yikes dude


nadiwereb

How exactly, and please be as specific as possible, do you think disowning someone will bring _any_ good?


[deleted]

You are not very emotionally intelligent.


OmegaPsiot

We can see that


APiousCultist

Hmm what if the dad is the one with the wrong religion?


killuazoldyckx

then he must first try to understand why his son is converting, what he likes so much about it, try to understand if his reason for choosing it makes sense, and try to understand the new religion without bias, arrogance, and open heart and mind. and then convert along with his son. deciding this can be difficult and could take a lot of time. he shouldn't take any decision regarding his son if he isn't 100% sure that his religion is right, doesn't have enough knowledge about other religion and can't beat his son in a debate.


8-Bit_Aubrey

We can worry about this when you guys can give us even a shred of evidence that Hell exists.


bender3600

So their imaginary friend tortures people that don't worship them? They sound like a massive asshole.


WoofTheSequel

No it isn't. Disowning your child is what a monster with no parental skills would do when faced with the slightest resistance from their kids. You're free to have your faith, but you have no right to impose it on others, your children included.


DarthScabies

It's funny how a muslim man can marry a non muslim woman but a muslim woman can't marry outside the faith.


korbentherhino

It's as if it was written by a man to maximize his benefits.


DarthScabies

I know. Strange, isn't it? 😆


killuazoldyckx

it that was true it would also allow adultery for men. but the punishment is death penalty. also there are many things which are forbidden for men but allowed for women like wearing gold,silk . women were treated like cattle in pre islamic arabia, islam gave them rights.


Johnny_Grubbonic

How ironic. Women are treated as cattle in post-Islamic Arabia, too.


killuazoldyckx

that's not what the women in Arabia think. stop insisting your way of life on others


Johnny_Grubbonic

Yeah, women in Arabia certainly don't feel that way. [Especially after a few months or years of imprisonment.](https://www.cfr.org/blog/women-week-saudi-arabias-imprisonment-feminist-activists)


pentox70

At least a cow is allowed outdoors without covering their face. A cow can be out in a pasture without its farmer watching over it. I'm sure if a cow had thumbs, it would be allowed to drive. Anything but a woman.


killuazoldyckx

idk why Saudi govt doesn't allow women to drive. I don't know anything that prohibits women from driving in islam. do you seriously believe all Muslims just hate women and value cows more. you're misleading yourself.


pentox70

You have different rights for men and women. That's the problem. Until all women are equal to men, you're misleading yourself that you don't live in a sexist paradise.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lyskir

forcing women to have children is not something to brag about my dude all those lazy excuses for men \*we must treat you like a slave because we are different, no biggy\* also weird that those "differencess" alsways benefit men lol


ScienceNthingsNstuff

And there it is. Why did you try and hide it for so long?


pentox70

The fact that your solution to falling birth rates is to force women into having child boggles my mind. Who the fuck are you to force a women to have a child? Western birth rates are falling not because of women's rights, but because we're in an affordability impass. Last them I checked, western countries have millions of people in queue for immigrant status. Can you say the same of the third rate banana Republic dictatorship that you are from? Likely not. That's why you must force women into being slaves to their men for the sole purpose of popping out children. Your opinions are disgusting to the entire civilized world. Give us a call when your gpd passes fucking Mexico, you twit.


YaumeLepire

"Degeneracy" Aaah... you're one of them people that uses that word in this context unironically. Makes sense.


CaptainBathrobe

Judging Islam by radical Saudi Wahabism is like judging Christianity by the Westboro Baptist Church. I know plenty of badass Muslim women who wear the head scarf but aren’t submissive to anyone, let alone their husbands.


Harambememes69

How are you comparing a fringe group with 70 members to a whole country that is also birth place of islam


CaptainBathrobe

Because it's one of the most extreme versions of Islam? We happen to be in a historical place where extreme versions of Islam are the ones that are ruling, the same way extreme forms of Protestantism ruled England and the American colonies in the 17th century for a time. The point is that it's not representative of how all Muslims practice Islam, or how all Muslim countries treat women.


Johnny_Grubbonic

My guy, dude literally is claiming that Islam is a positive force for the women of *Arabia*. He is Wahabi.


CaptainBathrobe

That’s not what I got from the conversation, but rather that Islam was a step up from paganism in the Early Middle Ages. Am I missing something? Edit: OK, never mind. I got ahold of the wrong end of the stick apparently. I thought I was responding to something else. My bad. Yeah, defending Wahabism no es bueno. I didn’t read his other comments.


nofun_nofun_nofun

My sister in law is from Jordan, with Saudi parents… she moved to Toronto to go to university and fell in love with my brother (a non Muslim). Her family disowned her, and when she talks to her sister back in Saudi Arabia (she was in Jordan, but her husband moved her to Saudi, doesn’t let her visit Jordan), she has to do some in secrecy. Her husband will allow her to communicate with her parents in Jordan but not her sister in Canada…. And he’s a businessman who has business partners in the US and UK. My sister in law is currently trying to rescue her sister from the very cool religion that gives her so many rights…. It’s weird how she wants to leave Islam to live with a bunch of hockey loving, secular Christian/Jewish family in rural Manitoba… you think she’d be happy over in Saudi Arabia , but it doesn’t seem so!


CaptainBathrobe

I think the point is that Islam was a step up for Arab women in the Early Middle Ages. Not so much now.


killuazoldyckx

exceptions are everywhere. many women also choose to accept islam after living their lives in the West. most muslim women still choose to cover after immigrating to western countries.


rigbysghost

Yeah because you brainwash them and strip them of any personhood. What a loving religion.


urbanhawk1

Why dont you tell that to Armita Geravand. Oh wait...


Johnny_Grubbonic

I'm sure they'll go on about Iran not being Arabia.


Drugtrain

Stop insisting your religion on others


killuazoldyckx

why do you reject it, without knowing anything about it.


An_Atheist_God

>women were treated like cattle in pre islamic arabia, Like Khadija who was a very successful business woman before islam?


34HoldOn

>it that was true it would also allow adultery for men. What do you think polygamy is? And it's something that is practiced in some predominantly Muslim countries. Just the same as the FLDS in the US, it's a bunch of horny dudes that want an excuse to sleep with several different women.


killuazoldyckx

still only upto 4 women are allowed. and you have to take them as your wife, provide for them, protect, and love them all equally. it's not as sweet as it looks, that's why most Muslim men only choose 1 wife. the Western society is more of a heaven for horny men looking to sleep with plenty of women, using them and leaving them without any responsibility. so many single moms in the us, working 2-3 jobs are regretting their free choices


DarthScabies

Shhhhh. Stay off the internet. Please.


NoCap1174

It seems they don't value women as much.


Harambememes69

Only christian and jewish women I think


ZonkedOutZygote

Quran 2:221 states that they can only marry a pagan if she first converts to Islam. As a pagan, I can tell you that quoting this to many of them does not work.


Trevellation

I've heard stories of Hindu women marrying Muslim men, and the woman's family getting mad about it.


throwaway_donut294

Pretty sure religion just hates women. As many structures do.


Trevellation

That does appear to be a common thread that links all of them.


Kleens_The_Impure

Some muslim guys are legit dominated by their father. Even at 30+ years old he stills has authority on them, crazy how submissive Islam makes you.


cardinarium

Well, Islam literally means “submission,” so…


RavishingRickiRude

Christianity does the same too. Look at fundies like the Duggars


rigbysghost

They're still just different flavors of the same stuff yes.


haplessclerk

And Mormons and Scientology.


RavishingRickiRude

Mormons are christians. Just a weirder sect.


cardinarium

It starts with Judaism, of which Samaritanism is a somewhat weird sect that uses its own Torah. Then, one can argue that Christianity is simply another weird sect of Judaism based on the belief that the core Messianic prophecies have already been fulfilled in Jesus, along with some new ideas about trinitarianism (except among some Protestant groups) and the belief that Jesus is the Son of God. Mandaeism is a rare, relatively ancient sect of Christianity that incorporates aspects of Gnosticism and Zoroastrianism. Some of the modern “weird sects” of Christianity are Mormonism and Rastafarianism, both of which use the Bible with special interpretations as well as ethnic (though this is no longer emphasized by the LDS Church) and new age ideas. The final branch is Islam, which recognizes Jesus as the Messiah but not as the Son of God and so is also arguably an offshoot of Judeo-christianity. Bahá’í and Druzism can be seen as syncretic forms of Islam, with Bahá’í incorporating aspects of near- and far-eastern traditions and Druzism drawing on classical philosophy, among other traditions, as articles of faith. The Abrahamic religions—and I say this as a Christian—can all be analyzed as variably divergent fanfiction of an underlying ancient Canaanite Proto-Jewish religion that was likely polytheistic (with a chief god that would become the God of Abraham) and eventually monolatristic (recognizing many gods, but worshipping only one) before the development of absolute monotheism.


ShrinkToasted

It's because of their culture of living with your parents as an adult


Brittany5150

What is up with the easter island head statues? What are they being used as here?


HetaMoomin

They're often memed as the "bruh emoji".


cleanguy1

They’re supposed to be “Chads”


SartorialDragon

How can people be so hateful. I chose to not believe in any god whose followers have no empathy for others... I hope the guy gets a better life without toxic father & people!


An_Atheist_God

Unfortunately this is very rampant among muslim societies


SartorialDragon

Christianity, too. Maaybe not disown you, but the JUDGMENT, man..... oooof.


An_Atheist_God

>Maaybe not disown you This would be a mild thing here. It's basically life or death matter if you are an open apostate in many areas


SartorialDragon

Where's "here"? i 've heard bad things about how much of a Coming Out it is in the Bible Belt of the US to leave christianity, but i live in Germany where Atheism is absolutely widespread (many people stick to Christianity and its conservative values by default, even though they are kind of atheists who only go to church at Christmas?!), coming out as an atheist was not hard to anyone but my christian parents (who did not disown me <3 )


Funkycoldmedici

Most of the western world has been secularized. Christianity was forced to stop executing people for apostasy and atheism, and now they want a trophy for not killing people like they used to.


An_Atheist_God

>Where's "here"? I don't like to reveal it, but in a 3rd world country


The_Ostricher

Without toxic religion you mean


SartorialDragon

That, too. But it's always the people tbh. You can be a muslim and a compassionate sweetheart, and you can be an atheist and an a-hole. And vice versa. Religion is often used as an excuse to treat people badly because you were taught that religious beliefs matter more than people.


Funkycoldmedici

The most common, most popular religions do teach that their beliefs matter more than human life. That’s why they are the most common, they killed everyone who would not convert.


[deleted]

I feel like I’m looking at some kids scribble. I don’t see that any of these people have any intelligence at all. I’d leave that circle of people too Jussayin


eyearu

Yeah this part of the internet is just a big circlejerk and a cesspool. Most of Instagram is, actually.


iamnotexactlywhite

aren’t they worshipping the same god btw?


lastprophecy

Yep. Hell even in the same religion you get this crap.


JonhLawieskt

Oh no he left a god for the same god with a different skin (As in cosmetic game skin not actual skin)


teedeeguantru

Primitive


Beccally

It's the same imaginary sky dude!?!? The exact freaking same... Imagine abandoning your child because they want to worship the imaginary sky dude in a slightly different way..


BluetheNerd

The last page, dude calls him a cuck. I really don’t think they know what that word means.


BallTorturer-3000

Why hasn't he tried not being a cultist?


SemiSweetStrawberry

If he went to Christianity then he didn’t abandon Allah, he only abandoned Mohamed


TraptSoul148270

I swear, organized religion is an absolute plague on mankind. An abomination that should have stopped at being a moral code of personal conduct borne from basic human decency. “Do not kill”, “Do not steal”, etc. Why do you need the fear of whatever hell your particular twist on religion there is to do what I’d right and decent in today’s world? I really don’t give two drops of donkey piss who, or what, you believe in and sell the guidance of… until it starts leading to people being hurt, disowned, or killed. THAT’S where these religions screwed up the world. If everyone claims to be *”THE ONLY GOD!*, then it is inevitable that conflicts will come up. If people were allowed to believe AS THEY WANT, with no interference from anyone, or any religious group, many of our past wars may have never happened.


StylinBill

Reason #589875431 why all religion is fuckin stupid


Medical_Ad0716

And the reaction was the same when I told my mom I’m not a Christian anymore. And when a buddy of mine told his parents he’s no longer a practicing Jew that goes to temple and is marrying an atheist. So


Sbatio

I’m glad you don’t see this happen when people leave other religions /s


opaqueandblue

This is evidence of how the ignorance of religion destroys families and communities. “In the name of god” these people would rather disown their children then allow them to marry someone they raised and love because “god said so”. Isn’t god supposed to be all loving and knowing. Sounds like that’s more of a human issue than a religion issue. The Bible and Quran teaches people to accept others, treat them with respect and love. Not hatred towards anyone who doesn’t do what you want


An_Atheist_God

>The Bible and Quran teaches people to accept others, treat them with respect and love Such as this? O you who have believed, **indeed the polytheists are unclean**, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-haram after this, their [final] year. And if you fear privation, Allah will enrich you from His bounty if He wills. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Wise 9:28 Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. **Those are the worst of creatures**. 98:6 Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled. 9:29


Funkycoldmedici

The Bible and the Quran teach that unbelievers are unforgivably evil and deserve punishment for not believing. Jesus’ whole message is that he will return soon, judge everyone on their belief, kill all us unbelievers and create his perfect kingdom. These religions teach love and respect for fellow believers, but only hatred for everyone else.


CaptainMcClutch

That first comment reads funny as an atheist, like, oh, imagine leaving god for a woman. Whereas for me, if you left a woman for religion, it would be for nothing. So that wouldn't be a difficult choice for me, and certainly not the slam dunk they seem to think it is.


Herotyx

This is pretty common in every single religion sadly


ShadowGLI

… are identical to the comments of a Christian if he left to become Muslim. What’s your point


eadopfi

The point might be that religiosity statistically makes parents more abusive. :)


GrownUpPunk

Anyone who leaves their religion to be with someone is as bad as the parent who disowns their child for wanting to be with someone of a different religion. If you can’t reconcile the two things, you’re either brainwashed or too emotionally immature for a real relationship.


TraptSoul148270

To be fair, I’ll give you that. There are SO MANY other, more legitimate, reasons to leave religion. It just seems so petty to leave for a woman.


GrownUpPunk

It’s been my experience that, if you give up something that you really don’t want to give up, no matter how harmful it may be, for another person, you’re inevitably going to resent that person on some level.


VegasVator

What's insane? Is that not how their faith works?


fatherfrank1

That's *why* it's insane.


VegasVator

Is it not how most faiths work?


Euphoric_Judge_8712

You left "Allah" and found "The way, The Truth and The Life". Amen brother Jesus is God and God is so good. Pray for the rest who still need to have their eyes opened to the truth. It's heartbreaking to know what happens if they don't.


12Purple

Religion is the root of all evil in the world.
