Ah, ok. I misunderstood. I thought you meant general. I think it's evil for me, but to be honest, too much religious thought in the past few days had made me go into ultra psychosis in which I am on a hard balance. I'm looking for ways to distract me. If I can go to the gym more often, it would be good. So I'm trying to motivate myself aside from the motivations that haven't worked so far. (I haven't been going to the gym often enough).

In the old days, it was called "Religious Melancholia"
and it was primarily ascribed to fanatical Christians.

Scrupulosity

It is only the first of many ironies I have encountered with you.

Explain what you mean? I don't understand. You think all Muslims ought to be against mysticism. And Prophets they experienced what exactly and were calling people to what exactly per Muslims?

It's hard to separate my illness from devotion...I know I have to balance my life with other stuff. I tried going back to university this semester but I had psychosis and  couldn't really do it.

Then separating the two should be your first priority, IMO.

I have known Christians and Catholics with that affliction who destroyed their families and their lives with their fanatical devotion,
screeching judgments and singing Hail Marys to the last breath.

^I'm sorry MK.

I'm not like that at all though. I don't preach religion to anyone in real life. I just discuss on it on the forums.  And people tend to think well of me. And I have a love for humans in general including Atheists in general.

To me it's a test that God trusted me to pass and God willing I will pass it, be patient, and flourish more due to it. You shouldn't be sorry, we all have our own trials.

Nor I.

There's a difference between wanting equality and thinking you're superior to men.

What kind of inequality do you have to face in your day to day life?

@MTL, I'm glad there are at least a handful of feminists focused on the real problems on women. I looked at the links you shared.

Could you, in simple terms share what exactly these people are doing and how much they've accomplished their goals? In simple terms, what have they actually done to make a significant impact on brute misogyny in third world countries? And how much they've accomplished.

Me? None.

But I'm not talking about me.  And just because it doesn't happen to me, doesn't mean I can't support others.

Others: Pay inequality, objectification, unwanted sexual comments and come ons, etc.
