He was wrong, but Im not sure he had contradictory beliefs.

The only thing that stands out IMO is him being for AfD - but that makes sense if you note that anti-immigration sentiment among ex-muslims when it shows up is actually specifically against muslim immigration, not immigration in general (Im exmuslim and spent a bunch of time in online exmuslim spaces).

He ran a forum to help atheist Saudis seek asylum, and his last tweets were among other things anger at the German failure to help Saudi asylum seekers. Clearly not anti-immigration.

It does:

Some German media pointed to the suspect’s past social media posts in which he reportedly expressed views critical of Islam and had even warned of the “dangers” of an Islamisation of Germany.

Thanks for sharing! I find what you have is really interesting.

Something I’m very curious about is how your wife is alright with the risk of them not choosing to be Christian and getting an eternity in hell? Is she a Christian universalist?

I think I sort of get where youre coming from. But my relationship with my parents isnt the kind where it matters if they know Im irreligious. It also isnt important enough to me that I would want them to know.

It’s more that I don’t want to ruin my relationship with them than that I rely on them or anything like that.

If I have kids I won’t raise them by a religion or put them through the expected rituals, and my parents will notice that. Which would then force me to come out. So not ruining my relationship with them means not having kids.

Oh how so?

That is a very handsome dog!
