[edit] My Testimony of Leaving Islam
I was tired of living a lie - of pretending to be straight, of praying and reading the Quran in Arabic; a language I didn't understand. Tired of being offered bribes by my mother to pray, just so that SHE can go to heaven, tired of being part of a group of people who seem to be saying and doing things that even they don't fully understand; of being pressured to believe in things or explanations that just doesn't make any sense. I was just tired of being herded around like a flock of dumb sheep.
While I respect the idea that religion might be good for some people, I don't think that religion is for everyone. In a lot of instances, religion seems to be the root cause for hatred, bigotry, war, and human atrocities. People can have their religion as long as they don't shove in my face,
