Testimony of Leaving Islam
I left Islam for so many reasons, but living in a country whose majority is Muslim, it is difficult to say that openly. Islam has so many rules one has to follow which I find really complicated and pretty much contradictory.
For example, their writings state that a Muslim who does not believe in Islam anymore, if found out, must be killed, and yet Islam asks to tolerate people. Ironic isn't it? I don't understand why, just because someone lost faith in Islam, we should kill them? Aren't we supposed to help them out instead? That's the first reason. Islam also wants Muslims to learn, and yet there are only certain things Muslim can questions, which means we are expected to obey everything without questioning Allah's motives. Yes, Allah sounds like an autocratic leader.
Besides that, Muslims tell me that Allah is fair. Seriously, why then are some people born rich while others are born poor? And some will tell me, whoever that are born poor they must be good at something else. Funny though, Allah loves Muslims and yet putting so much pain in Muslims like what's happening to Afghanistan now, and as if being patience will helps to improve the Iman. Oh please, it's just a state of mind. Being patience does not help you to fight your opponent. It only helps you to tell your opponent, I have no time to please and that's it, you get nothing in return. Allah plans everything for us, so what's the purpose of Hell and Heaven then?
Another funny thing when someone tells me that our soulmate is determined by Allah, and if a woman married a man with a wife and children (just because poligamy is allowed in Islam), we should accept that they are soulmate? Does this mean a person can have two soulmate? Yes, Allah is fair for letting another woman becomes the second wife to a man when the first wife doesn't agree (when the "fact" is Allah is God and supposed to do something about it, he instead lets the first wife suffered). To me, Islam is just a religion that says nothing - Allah does not exist and so does any other God. It's people itself that creates their own life. If God does exist, people wouldn't suffer and we do not need to pray as everything is planned.
