I'm an ex-Muslim. More on that to come. I'm still a work in progress, but you've got to start somewhere. I believe that the only way to form opinions on complex issues is to flesh them out, present them to other people, and then listen to their responses and evaluate their evidence. Accept what you find compelling, reject what you don't, and reform your opinion. Try not to just be a blind follower of anyone, no matter how tempting it is.
If you want to learn more about the history of how religious texts and ideas have evolved over time, check out my publicly saved playlists. I'll be including different academic courses on it that are of interest on the topic, by people who are interested in the history instead of the theology. Those can be two very different things.
