I was born to be Muslim but I don't like it and my family makes me feel bad about it like I'm a monster. I tried to get into it but it just isn't me.
If you hate it, then it's not youre religion, simple as that. You don't have to be a part of it. Just break out of the cage.
You're normal. Passive resistance might be the best way to handle your family.
Absolutely! If you are unhappy, change it. You should not be forced to do something that causes you distress. Your family is causing you anguish over this, and making you blame yourself. They are the monsters in this situation.
One of my best friends was also raised a Muslim. When i met him he still was. We have had so many conversations about religion and my atheist beliefs killed his arguments everytime. It didn't take long for him to convert to spirituality. His family obviously didn't like it but damn...TRYING to be Muslim? Dude seriously if you don't believe that crap scrap it. And how fucked up it is, if your family doesn't accept you leaving the religion (even though you were never really into it) , then that's the way it's gotta be. It's YOUR life, you can't try to believe things you don't for the rest of your life, just to try and please your family. I also went to a christian school when i was a kid. But as soon as we got teached about God, i knew it was bullshit, even though i was like 7. If my parents were religious, i actually thing i would have converted them to Atheism by now. I've been attending university since i was 16, and i have converted MANY religious people to Atheism or just to non-relgious. For too many people in the world religion seems to be something you need? I honestly believe i live a infinite amount of times happier life than most religious people in the world. JKust go for what you believe !
go with the flow and be who you want. to my understanding people in muslim families are usually expected to stay part of that religion given their culture and the fact their whole family is part of the religion but be who you are. who knows maybe you will get into other religions and realize that yes maybe you actually do support the muslim beliefs over the other religions. most importantly be who you want to be, and go venture out and get involved in what youre curious about
muslim families sometimes don't know how to make their children into their region
I used this once on my Father;
"So if two people arrived at the Gates of Heaven, one who followed the teachings of said God with a genuine belief that this will guarantee them a place along side their God and the other who followed the same exact teachings but under duress. Would they both go in?"
My Father said to me, May God have mercy on my soul. I replied, if there is a God, may he show me mercy like my Father has. Ever since we have not muttered a word about religion again.
Tell your parents "Whateva! It's my hot body I do what I want!"
But really just change your beliefs. It's not hard and fuck anyone else who says you shouldn't.
