About Me

After many years of thinking and soul searching, I would like to invite you to join my journey. Please help me find the answers I have not yet found and allow the ones I have to enlighten your life. Many people rebelled against religion, some for ideological reasons and others for emotional reasons. I was raised religious and wanted to run away; I failed. I am deeply connected with a religion and it came through deeper understanding rather than vice versa. I still disagree with many people who share my faith as to the correct motivations for our religion. I am as anti-religion as a religious man can get. I believe religion is the root to all evil.

Are you trapped in a religion?

Does your family follow a certain religion? Do most of your friends follow a certain religion? Do your religious leaders reject people who question? If you were to consider another religion, do you fear you will lose your community life? Do you refuse to ruin your communal life without a good reason?

If your country were to commit the ultimate evil, would you risk your status to prevent such acts? Do you think that fulfilling your purpose for creation is worth the risk? Or, do you prefer to remain in your comfort zone rather than doing what is right? Or, did you give up on anything being true? If you gave up, why are you reading this?

Why can’t you do the research secretly? Do you have to give up anything to think? If there is a G-d, perhaps he made the web to help you find him. If you were made for a reason, don’t you think it is worth the effort? If the creator ever asks can you say you tried?

Most people are recruited into a religion at birth. Some stay on, other convert to other sects/faiths, others disengage. Islam is the fastest growing religion. Why? Is it because it is the 'true faith' and many are drawn to it because it is the 'true faith'. No. It is because Muslim woman are having lots of babies.

The success of a religion should be due to the truth of its teachings not demographics.
