Seeing many muslim justify even blatantly support the attack of Berlin pride event is so disheartening
I'm so angry & sad every time I see the unfortunate Berlin Pride attack on my timeline.
Yes, it's because of how many precious lives were lost during the event that supposed to be one of happiest day of their lives but also how unempathetic people could be with their comments under the articles/news
Background: live in Indonesia (number 1 with muslim population not a Muslim country though) but having Muslim as majority definitely has effect to your country.
Their comments are so vile and disgusting, they see LGBTQIA+ people rightly to be killed, I can give you some of examples of their comments :
"It's a pity that only one life died" , "Why not just bomb it so they die?" " Why are so few dead" "See you in Jannah brother (heaven) and etc. basically they wanted more people to be killed and support the attacker as a fallen hero that died while doing god's will "Jihad"
I'm just out of words seeing those comments on Instagram, Facebook and elsewhere. How can these people has that so much hatred and eagerness to kill other life because of a religion.
I'm not trying to be islamphobic or hate muslims but I can't deny the religion itself has that kind of teaching (I know because I'm ex-muslim too)
For addition, Right now in Indonesia there is some kind of witch-hunts of LGBTQIA+ peers. Especially to trans women & men that havs feminine features, there's been a lot of news how these "hunters" inhuman doings to affected victims they got spit at, they put urine and throw it to transwomen and men that have "feminine features" they got beaten blatantly in public space
Also so sorry if this thread like a mess by grammar & language, I just really frustrated and just wanna talk it out here :'

Im planning to divorce my end-times fearing husband. I can't take this anymore.
Me and my husband outside of religion have a thriving relationship. We welcomed our daughter last march who was born premature due to preclampsia. Shes doing well now, and is 3 months old adjusted to her due date. My husband has always been Christian, I was athiest until like a week after my daughter was born, now athiest again 4.5 months later. I think that after the experience with birth and having a child I thought my maternal love some way had to be spiritual. I think I had a hard time accepting that I was capable of loving someone so much so I had to make it supernatural. It also helped to know that I had somebody to call on that understood every postpartum difficulty I was going through. I don't know how this happened because I'm very well versed in atheist arguments , and how did debunk christian apologics. I used to constantly watch alex o'connor and christopher hitchens, Richard dawkins...etc. knew to call out every God of the gaps, appeal to emotion, I am really into philosophy. I know the bible. I've been going to church every sunday for like two months and its like my brain turned back on.
My husband when I talked to him about being christian after I gave birth to our daughter was very happy and very excited. He's always not talked about religion much but that all changed one month after I had her... he found this end times youtuber called "tudor Alexander " who has probably combined like six hundred hours of content going over the end times, the bible, calvinism, etc. My husband has not stopped watching these videos.He will literally get home from work take the baby, and watch them every night. The whole night. He is watching like 5 hours a day of this guy. My husband gets really conspiratorial about everything. Not that he wasn't to begin with, but before it was to where hed just read a little to into something, like hed drop a quick comment and I'd roll my eyes at it. Noe if I don't instantly agree with his conspiratorial comment about something he says that he tries to show me the truth , but I "just refuse to see it." And that he's speaking the truth , and I just don't "care to believe it."
I've called him out on this in the past about how he shouldn't speak to people like they're stupid, and like he has this forbidden knowledge that nobody else has access to and we can believe different things. We've got into many fights alone on just how he speaks to me when it comes to his feelings. No matter how much I argue with him about it , he's constantly watching this content that reinforces that i'm right he's wrong and I have to listen to it and my own home , 24/7. He's convinced everybody just "doesn't want to see the truth". It's gotten so bad that sometimes when he has the baby after he gets off work, I'll come to sit with him and I'll talk to him and he will pause the TV listen to me talk , wait for me to finish talking and unpause it like i'm interrupting something. He's told me initially before watching this youtuber we could have as many children as we could afford and provide a good life for, but now he no longer wants to have any more children because the end times are for sure coming in the next couple of years. He says 3 tops. Watch this guy and he'll randomly pause the t v and he'll look at me and tell me that when the end times come that we're gonna have to be running through the forests probably trying to escape drones chasing us and he hopes we survive. I don't think he's schizophrenic... But I truly don't know what's going on.
I'm so sick of seeing that stupid youtubers face on my TV. He Will fall asleep listening to him every single time I go in our shared bedroom he's watching that guy. I'm out. If this doesn't change with a quickness i'm working nights and we're leaving. This is not a psychologically sound environment for my daughter to grow up in. I'm sick of being a stay at mom, having an amazing day and having to hear about the end times every single day. I'm sick of being talked down to like

I've never felt more strongly about not following a religion til now.
My 62 year old new coworker told me unsolicitly that his wife is 19 years old. He's from East Africa, Muslim and says it's part of his culture. Bullshit.
I'm so disgusted. He had the audacity to ask if I'd respect his culture and I flat out said no and not to talk to me about his personal life. This got back to my manager and while she agrees with me, nothing has become of this. Oh, and he works with youth. He's also made a comment to someone else that he's looking for a second wife. We are in Canada. This shit isn't normal.
This all went down on Friday. My manager said we will touch base on Monday and of course nothing has been said. I won't be surprised if nothing becomes of it. I work for the government and it's so dysfunctional where I live bc the standards are incredibly low.
I only plan to stay here another year and 3 months and will begin silent quitting.
I've never had issues with anyone in my department in the almost 4 years of being here.
Oh and he told my manager I yelled at him which I didn't. I'm even more upset about that bc he lied and now I don't trust him at all. I don't say hi to him unless he initiates it and I don't make eye contact with him in the hall.
Fuck, religion. But, I feel like this is more of a straight up pervert, hebaphile behavior.
