More religious crap
So when my mother passed away, my siblings wanted to do good in her name. It is a religious thing, meaning that you do something good and the deceased gets the credit 🤷♀️ Of course i don’t believe in any of that crap, but if my money is going to help the poor, then i am okay with it.
My brother started doing silly things too like payments to religious entities for someone to do religious activities on her behalf (like hajj), now that I call complete crap and I would never pay to have it done. I only contributed to REAL CHARITY. Helping poor areas is something that people will benefit from, but paying for someone to do hajj, i call that complete fraud and business!!!
My sister now messages me that a well that we were building has been completed.. of course she expected a religious answer from me as in; may allah accept or whatever crap people say in these situation… Me; not much of a response. All i could think of is that I only hope this well is not used to convert people to Islam, because I’ve seen YouTube videos whereby they do a charity in poor villages and then get the entire village to say the “shahadah” and then they be like; oh look at that!😮 This must be a great religion for an entire village to suddenly believe in it!!!😲
Messed up.. I want to get away from this demeaning way of doing good… If there really is a god, me, the agnostic one, must be the purest to him, because i really didn’t expect anything in return.. But the whole religious system is built on the carrot and stick approach anyway !
