So there's this monster that most millennials and such parents tell their kids about these days and it's called "Religion"
And as much as our parents use to tell us not to talk to strangers, people now say don't talk to religion.
They say don't talk to religion, don't believe in those imaginary things, might of fact it's depressing that half of the world is still practicing religion.
These religious people are delusional and brainwashed..."hey just like I'm brainwashing you right now too"... I guess they should say
That's ok. As a Muslim person, I say it's ok. You are entitled to your own decisions and opinions. BUT DONT CROSS THAT LINE.
Because there is a line and it's been crossed.
How far would you go to being so disgusted by something that you would start dictating and treating it like you wouldn't want it to treat you? Dictate to you?
Don't be the that monster you accuse religion to be. Oppressive and demanding for people to be like you. Not even suggestive or in positive words to share what you believe in too.
It's not a book that fell from the sky. It's a tradition that people have followed before it was written. A tradition that you have in your own way too. In your family, with your friends, and morals you claim to have.
RELIGION. Is a way of life based on a belief. You too have a religion. You too have something you believe in and follow. Even if you are a atheist, well you follow that way of being don't you?
These old traditions, allllllll these outdated things.. that of course you too practice on your own in your own way.
But yet we are all packaged nowadays and shipped off to "you don't deserve my acknowledgement" land. The we, the all media portrayed religion that is sandwiched into one ugly monster that you tell your kids about.
We are not even recognized as separate beliefs.
It's kinda hard to understand something you refuse to understand huh? To even acknowledge it. Because when you fear...I mean hear of something "blahh blahh religion"...you automatically see and hear what is being said as false and delusional and.. oppressive and dum and ignorant, and bizarre and un educational, and AND AND AND
Class dismissed. Before it even started.
Or let's say not passed the first 15 minutes.
You run soo far away from what you think will control you and tell you what to do. Ehhh em..but did you take a look around at your life, at the body you call free that is in this world, this universe, and realize how free you think you are? Pick your poison as they say in alcohol worship...pick your control.
But of course freedom to you is your own control. A world where you are your own control. But then who is defining what you fear is delusional now?
Can I get a better word then the negative mundane one called
Brainwash? ..because sweetheart we are all brainwashed
I'm not asking you to lend me your ear, even though I've lend you mines many times. Even though I just came from your point of view, and that there can be so much benefit in learning from each other. All I am asking is
CAN You please not cross that line you fear of yourself?
Because on the other side of that line
I don't want to be told that I am brainwashing my kids and that I need to stop.
I don't want to be told that I need to undue my own brainwashing
You believe things that I believe is wrong, that is fine because I also believe things you do are wrong too.
However I understand some religious people cross that line, but there are many who don't and I can speak from my own religion, in islam and say
.. just because we believe the things you do are wrong doesn't mean we believe that "you are wrong".
On that other side I don't want to be told that I don't have freedom of speech while you can march in as many protests as you like and I can't share my voice of religion with people who care to listen in the public eye.
And forgive me if I ever seemed as if I was telling you about something you didn't want to hear. I guess I thought I might of been speaking into our similarities for those who I know or knew.
There is an education here for us all and that is to live peacefully.
Open your mind to not what you think you know, but what you can possibly understand from me too. You'd be surprised that its not what you originally thought about it at all...this big religious misconception.
And like wise from all of us packaged,
to you too
Signed a Muslim
