Hi there. I am an ex-Muslim, 18, and what better way to start being an adult than having a good dose of critical thinking. I live in a very Christian country but raised in a Muslim family. There's not much option for me but to study in Christian schools. They regularly conduct mass for the students so I am left to one side just waiting. This somehow gave me a lot of time to think. I've been through a lot of questions.
Why do we need to worship this guy in thy sky? Don't you think we're giving so much valuable time and resources enforcing onto others the existence of God which has very weak logical foundation? And what about this morality, what makes such things good or bad?
As social living things, our instinct tells us to use intelligence to work together to build, sustain and advance life. As human beings, that is our ultimate objective. That is what makes morality objective. Searching for truth and knowledge is part of building, sustaining and advancing life and it is good. For me, believing in God is somewhat giving up. I know science, math and logic are some of the few subjects hard to comprehend. But that's no reason to quit and just let some ancient book do the thinking for you. And brainwashing people to give up is not good.
Basically that's it. I'll just elaborate some points if needed.
