I used to be a very good and obeying muslim. I was reading Quran very professionally and have been awarded in country level when I was 16.
During military service, I was the only one who were chosen to read Quran infront of Khamenei.
I also was active in Darvish communities and had so many Darvish friends.
I was in their meetings where they were pretending they are speaking with Genes or other supernatural beings. That was terrifying !
I also went to India to find a guru for myself. I met Sathya Sai Baba there and was amazed by his abilities.
I was a true devotee to God and religion. I had my own speeches in meetings for how great god is and how the universe is calling his nam and all religions are united.
Then suddenly, I started to see things differently.
A trip to Egypt was the last shot and changed me forever.
I am now an Atheist. A Secular.
I believe in science and noting else.
And I am a new member of this great community 🙂
