Hi everyone... my story is as follows,
I was a devout Muslim(Shiite) about 5 months ago... but then i learned of a staggering thought: It's that the custom of chest beating that shiites regularly do in the "holy" days of muharam was originally taken from eastern christians.
Then i thought for a moment "What if we took other stuff from other religions?" ...So i began some research, At the end of my research i came to the shocking conclusion that everything in Islam from head to toe was taken from other religions in the middle east?!
I felt that i was merely following a hybrid religion that a human created, not some divine being. Then i began to interpret the Quran and the Hadith as if i was a person at the time of prophet Muhammed... needless to say i felt silly to formerly believed in that kind of stuff.
So here i am joining this forum and debating these stuff... Because in my society i'd be an outcast if i tell them that i'm a weak agnostic.
