I doubt you also taught him about the atrocious things Christianity did in the past too. I can't wait for these Abrahamic religions to fade into antiquity. Their enmity is always causing too much trouble in the world.
One day, I was scrolling through TikTok when I came across a comment under a Muslim post. It was an ignorant Christian boy who wrote that he admired Islam so much and wanted to become a Muslim. I sent him a DM and asked for his number so I could call him. He sent it, and I called him. During our conversation, he told me that all his friends were Muslims and that they had been telling him wonderful things about Islam. He said he particularly admired their unity. I said, β€œOkay, but can I also tell you some of the things about Islam your friends won’t tell you?” He agreed, so I started teaching him. But I didn’t just tell him things; I made him investigate the sources himself. He was shocked by what he discovered. After that, I asked him if he had ever studied Christianity. He said no, so I began teaching him about Christianity too. He was genuinely happy. At the end of our conversation, I told him to go back to his Muslim friends and ask them about everything I had shown him from their own sources. A few weeks later, he reached out to me and said they didn’t deny any of the things I had shown him; they only tried to justify them. I said, β€œThere you have it!” Then I asked him, β€œDo you still want to become a Muslim?” He said NO! I then encouraged him to subscribe to GodLogic’s channel and watch some of his debates with Muslims. He was so happy. One thing he said that really stuck with me was that it was good to actually know about something before deciding to embrace it. Don’t join Islam ignorantly please make your research first!

Women tend to think they have a foolproof idea of who they are. Leaking faucet dey learn work for where woman fall in love. Leaders or not.
Maybe this is sexist but I'm pretty sure women leaders are less likely to be successfully seduced by a spy.

Besides talent, people can actually overlook him because they think something is just wrong with him, and he's not really being ideological when he fucks up.
Can anyone explain why Kanye West gets so much love? Regardless of the lines he has crossed. Many have been cancelled for less to the point of no return. But to Kanye that just turns into a bad few weeks. What makes him so different? Genuinely asking.

For every potential relationship I'm always having to think about these issues if the girl is a sky daddy girl.
My beautiful relationship came to an end because of this too. She began with saying she felt guilty, and began talking about her relationship with Jesus, and ultimately rejected me because of my Igbo spirituality. With the way I planned everything we should have been married now.

What Bukele is doing rn in Haiti. Imagine if one strong African country can do same in DR Congo. Sometimes you have to agree with conspiracy theories there's a reason our states can't get stronger. Libya tried and see what happened.

I thought the seduction of religion was going to end with my mom's generation. But this generation own worse pass. Irony is my mom's generation nearly matched their spirituality with character. But this one... it is very confused.

A young man, a mother's son, dies because of wicked leaders. Whatever this rig and die means, it's not reactionary. It comes from a place of deep pain that can only manifest in ways only inherited and learned violence can find an outlet. So so sad.

Communicated poorly, but turn to blame the confusion on readers. Lol.
If a barber charges 5X regular price because the groom was getting married, nobody would question that it's insane lmao

you're very stupid.
I'm an atheist, and I'm willing to examine evidence that could change my mind. So here's my challenge to religious believers. Give me ONE compelling argument for God's existence that doesn't simply rely on quoting your holy book, describing a personal feeling, threatening me
