I'm a muslim, but I don't like being a muslim. Not out of some profound shit or morality, I don't even read the Quran, and I don't know anything about other religion either aside from really basic knowledge. But I realized that being a Muslim isn't all that fun? Like I get that everything they told us to do is for our own good, but I missed so many things. I can't eat bacons. I can't use gelatin and sake mirin for cooking. I can't pet a dog (the saliva is dirty, you can clean it but it's troublesome). Everything I do rn can be classified as a sin depends on who you're talking to. I can't wear clothes that I like because it's too revealing (it's really not). I can't touch my opposite gender and even dating is actually forbidden unless you're gonna marry them and you can't do anything before you're married. I'm an affectionate person even with my friends and sometimes I wonder like damn I would like to hug or hold hands with the person I'm dating (or getting to know with). I mean, the last one is kinda loose, but sometimes the people I'm romantically involved with are the ones reluctant. Also, I can't get together with someone who has a different religion, and being LGBT is illegal, but I'm sure these also apply in some other religions.
I also hate islam's version of afterlife. We gotta cross a bridge made of 1/7 strand of hair to get to heaven and if you fall you go to hell?? Also when the day of judgement comes you got punished differently for every sins you have and those sinners got a personal sun an inch above their heads?? Not sure if I remember it right but damn we can't even rest in peace. I literally stopped going to my religious private lessons when I was 9 because the teacher keeps telling me these things and stresses me out.
People in my country often make fun of atheist for being "too lazy to pray" as we have to do five prayers a day and to be honest, that's true; I am too lazy to do that lol. I just don't enjoy praying. We have to do it slowly and whatever but I'm just naturally impatient and easy to lose my attention.
I think my reasons are shallow and I should work on my faith but what's the point really. I'm more interested in buddhism tbh. I wonder if I can say it to my family so I don't have to do the prayer and fast on ramadhan... but it would take too much effort. Well, I just wanna share that. I probably skipped a lot even though this is already long. Any thoughts?
tl;dr i don't like being a muslim because I missed so many things, I don't like their idea of afterlife, and I don't enjoy praying. I'm interested in buddhism kinda.
