your friends don't believe in you. They believe in the version of you that makes them feel superior period

No one really knows you. They have a version of you, that's in their head only.

  1. There's no true religion.

  2. Every religion has their half truths, there's no absolute truth

  3. I believe in reincarnation (we gonna keep on coming back until we fulfil our karmic debt and become enlightened, we can reach enlightenment in one life time, or maybe thousands = depends on how thick is our karmic Veil and debt is), the goal is to become like Christ).

  4. No such place as hell and paradise exist (a control system, hell = low frequency and vibration).

  5. Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mithras, the last prophet and other divine beings came to serve as a guide as to enlightenment (a way to higher self).

  6. I have chosen the Jesus and Buddha plus a little bit of Taoism way as my guide

*. Don't come for me, I don't have proof (only my intuition and gut).💀

I might delete soon.😮‍💨

Don't delete. This is good. I get the second point. This life goes on and on. And sometimes I get a very weird sense of deja vu. It's like I've been here before. I've done this before. It's confusing really.

Honestly, my controversial take is that I don’t think God is real, and I’m not even an atheist. I’ve just been on my own journey with religion and faith, and the more I think about it, the more I feel like religion is a system that was created to keep people in check and stop society from descending into chaos. Like, give people rules to live by, something to fear, and something to believe in, and you have a way of controlling how people behave. I’m not saying religion has no good in it, but I do think there’s more to it than what we’re taught to believe.

This. Lots of this religion stuff doesn't make sense. And look what it did to Africa as a whole. They brought us the Bible, and everyone acts like they have religious psychosis. They can't own up to their mistakes without blaming the devil.

Politicians don't care about the Northern region because it has never been & will never be a king maker..

u/Loud-Confusion-758 1d ago

The way the North is ignored is sickening. I lived there for 2 years, and it's like they don't care about it.

Sexual orientation is NOT a choice...Hell doesn't exist, it is used as a tool for control

Agree. You can't just wake up one day and say, I'm going to be gay.

There's no one true god and if there was, it wouldn't be white Jesus and his father.

My controversial take is that satanic kaya and ufiti is used as a scapegoat in our country. When something bad happens anthu amangothamangira kunena kuti eeh ndi za satanic, eeh za ufiti whatsoever, for instance, this other guy from my area has unfortunately committed suicide recently, from the small details I have heard, the guy was definitely depressed as heck, koma vuto ku malawi kuno mental health isn't taken that seriously anthu akungoti ndi za satanic or za ufiti, ignoring the clear signs of depression. We need to do better ku malawi kuno on the issue of mental health especially in rural areas instead of putting all the blame on "satanic" and "ufiti"

🤣🤣🤣 Sometimes I really believe this, but you know, it's hard to turn away from something people have shoved down your throat for so long.

We are not alone in the universe

Yep. Someone or something is out there.

There is definitely a higher reality above our own, earth is some sort of a simulation and we're just playing out a script, a lot of people who have accessed higher realms will tell you the earth has a prewritten timeline that is simply being fulfilled, you can access both future and past events on demand with a higher consciousness, either that or an evil cult found the master script and are manipulating history themselves for their own benefit, my only question is who's in charge of this higher reality?

If you are traditional man marry someone that doesn't have a career.It doesn't make sense marrying a career women who comes back from work tired and make her cook because apparently you don't eat meals cooked by a maid 😂.Azibambo ena ndi odabwitsa man

It's stupidity at best. I would drive that man out of my house. I survived without him; I will survive once he's gone too.

Atheists didn't leave religion. They switched priests. You've never seen an atom. You've never measured the earth's curvature. You haven't checked how many planets there are, you just accepted when a committee voted Pluto out. You believe it because someone with credentials told you. That's not skepticism. That's faith but with a lab coat. "Trust the science." "Real scientists say." Can't even entertain the idea of a flat earth. Question it and you're a heretic. The believer says "my priest told me." The atheist says "my professor told me." What's the difference?

The human brain is a computer created by nature and like any other computer, it can be hacked.
