Hi
Hi people..

I live in an Islamic country (Brunei) where any religious practices except Islam are strictly controlled by the government & any religious discussions concerning anything but Islam are considered taboo.. I hope its ok for you guys if I just keep my identity anonymous as I dont even confess to anyone in person that I have denounced my Islamic religion, I'm a muslim in name only..

well sometimes I do need to share with others what I think, on my religious view.. obviously I cant do that in my community & I hope this forum is exactly what I need to express that

Cheers!!Cool Shades

Hey and welcome to AF! ^_^

It's quite alright to keep your identity a secret, but do chose an avatar, so that we get a 'face' with the name Wink
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Welcome friend. Islam is very wrong, and also very powerful.

He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

I know Aractus, which is why I denounce it.. the brainwashing & indoctrination I received at a very young age was very hard for me to fight against mentally.. took me several years of doubting until I can finally break free & became an atheist

to everyone else, thank you for the warm welcome Big Grin
