Alhamdulillah, Sister Sarah. I have forgotten a lot. It's been many years. And I have not been keeping up my deen. I don't remember. Ramadan came up & they asked me if I was gonna fast & I tried but it didn't last long. I remember goin to an Arabic restaurant

...and to break the fast, they would give everyone dates. I enjoyed that, mashallah.

I liked them. Some lived in the same building where I lived. They got me into it. It was back in the 90's. Islam is like a subculture. It was different. I started studying & learning about it. I just never had any faith. I've tried other religions. Same thing

I'm a faithless son of a bitch, my friend. I'm no good. In the clutches of the Devil, I tell ya...

I just can't believe. I don't have any faith. I think when you're dead, you're dead and that's the end. When the synapses stop firing in the brain, it's lights out. #death

(1) Most atheists haven't tried anything and just jump to conclusions. It's because today it's more convenient and easier to be an atheist. Being an atheist is fashionable today. On the other hand, having faith is very difficult nowadays. You, Antwan, is different.

(2) You tried everything and still opt for atheism. You're the very first decent non-believer I've ever met.

I think maybe I'm just stupid. I'm slow. It took me a long time. I had to go thru everything. I was trying to make it work. But it didn't work. Religion doesn't work. I don't know how some people believe in it. That always fascinated me. What makes them tick

(1) I confess here that I used to associate with Jehovah's Witnesses at the age of 18. It was only for several months, maybe five. I was on the verge of being baptized. My whole family, together with my relatives, opposed my faith and stopped me.

(2) I realized that if I wanted to pursue my faith, I would have to abandon my whole family. I couldn't have done that. I didn't want my little brother and sister to suffer on account of me after I left the rest of my family. So I gave up on my faith.
