Testimony of Leaving Islam
I've been lurking for a while and after reading the testimonials of former Muslims in this section of the forum, I've decided to post.
I'm 24 years old, I left Islam over a year ago and haven't regretted it one bit. A multitude of things led to my apostasy, all had an equal effect so I won't say one thing weighed more on my mind than another. Needless to say, I haven't told my family about this. They are not religious, we don't pray or go to the mosque but we do (well, I don't anymore) observe Ramadan and celebrate Eid. Despite this, I think they'd be hurt to find out about my situation so I'm keeping it hidden.
I've read the Quran and I know enough about the history of Islam and Mohammed to conclude that it is nothing more than a cult. And I wish more people were able to speak out on this, both Muslims who want to question the religion and 'infidels' who want to bring to light the absurdity of it all. As you all know that's not possible, it seems like if one person so much as questions one word of the Quran, all hell breaks loose in the Muslim community.
It's a shame.
I'm at school until the end of September. Once I'm done and once I've got a career on track, the issue of marriage will come up. I don't know how to approach it, my family wants me to marry a Muslim girl but with me being an apostate, I don't think it'd be quite the happy marriage.
I don't live in a Muslim country thankfully. So there's no fear on my part of being hounded and eventually killed in the name of honor. Just don't want to disappoint the parents.
