How to deal with religious doubt? You mentioned it a while back and said you don’t care to explore the doubts im struggling with doubt rn
Religion in and of itself just doesn't interest me that much. I've just never been the kind of person who really cares about why so and so ruling came about, etc. Instead I choose to spend time on pursuits that truly interest me.
I am most comfortable when I treat religion as a culture/tradition that exists in my life because of the family background I was born into. And just like any other cultural/traditional practice, there's beauty in it but there's also the question of its relevance, fairness. So I enjoy the nice parts, like festivities and avoid useless time drains like religious discussions in any setting. I also rarely ever go to mosque unless there is an event and I am going with mom where we can bond over random things lol.
So I would say, if you have doubts, accept them. It's OK not to agree with everything and customize how you want religion to fit in your own life. Everyone does that anyway even if they say they don't. Even the mullahs, they choose religion to be their source of income and build their lives around it. So you too should be able to choose how you want it to fit and this may evolve with time so dont be pressured to make a decision today and definitely feel free to be private about all of this. Also, don't engage in debates with the close-minded (religious or atheist), they will not help your doubts and will make you feel worse.
