I was watching some video and there was mention of someone getting 1984. Upon which, a guy said that this one (one who got 1984) will end up being radicalized. I was already born into a very radical environment so no needs of books to radicalize me (although I am trying to be moderate and chill now)

    The book that reads at the very beginning something like “you must believe everything written in this book with blind fate” made you question things? Or maybe I picked up a tampered copy… 🤔 I read that, put it back on the shelve and never picked it up again.

      For me, i was raised religious. Fully believed it all because I was a child and the idea that its all a con was way beyond my capabilities. Got a little older, family fell apart and religion stopped being shoved down my throat.

      Decided to read the bible so I could understand the whole story instead of just being lectured about a couple of paragraphs plucked at random.

      God creates everything and then straight up fireballs everyone to death in the first like 5 minutes of reading. Ive been taught since birth that God loves us. Been drilled into my head that God has a perfect plan. Chapter fucking one God says whoops and does a genocide.

      I did not finish the book.

      yeah cuz I wanted to be a better Muslim and I dove deeper and deeper and that made me question my sect, then my religion, then all religions.
