[quote=Anonymous]I abandoned religion (in my case, Islam). For me, I was unable to reconcile the blatant misogyny, rather than the homophobia (which is less clear in Islam, although still generally condemned)

You can find another community to be a part of. I can't reconcile the ugly parts of religious texts & stories. You can try and read, re-read, interpret, re-interpret, any way you want - it doesn't matter if those ugly parts comprise a small minority of the faith - they still exist. They were written as "truth" long ago. I've come to understand religion as a reflection of the society that a specific religion was cultivated from. All religions were designed to reform an ill society, and try to make things better. But they're still flawed. They're still discriminatory. They're still antiquated.

I have an internal moral code to be a kind, giving, compassionate, and empathetic person for the sake of humanity. You don't need religion to be decent.

There are other ways to develop a sense of community and belonging. [/quote]
