Between the corny, drama comments about football and such there are still dozens of infractions he has committed that his family, his peers, his neighbors, his teachers, his imam, his govt., his culture would be on his case about. It is maddening to read.<br \/>\nThis is mainstream Islam, not fringe or extremist or fundamental. You would have to find some really hard-core Jehovah&#8217;s, Baptists, or Church of Christ families and communities to find this level of suffocating ideology that infuses damn near every waking moment. Like living under a fucking wet blanket you cant throw off, and if you do somebody will see you. Xianity was once this invasive centuries ago, but for most Xians nowadays, they couldn&#8217;t imagine living under such constant tension to behave properly.<\/p>\n<p>Check it out:  <\/p>\n<p><em>101 Sins I Commit During the World Cup and Ramadan Just in One Day<br \/>\n1)      I eat.<br \/>\n2)      I drink.<br \/>\n3)      I smoke weed.<br \/>\n4)      I masturbate.<br \/>\n5)      I have sex (if I can get some).<br \/>\n6)      I don\u2019t cheer for the Iranian national team.<br \/>\n7)      I\u2019m secretly happy that Iran\u2019s team lost.<br \/>\n8)      I feel disgusted at people\u2019s zeal over football. There\u2019s one thing to enjoy a sport, there\u2019s another thing to treat it as more important than any event in the world.<br \/>\n9)      I secretly laugh at football players praying.<br \/>\n10)  I secretly want to slap every doctor who comes on TV and says \u201cfasting is good for you\u201d.<br \/>\n11)  I abhor the fact that people seem to eat more not less.<br \/>\n12)  I secretly want to slap every person who says \u201cif you eat in front of me it\u2019s a violation of my rights\u201d.<br \/>\n13)  I abhor walking in the streets. Everywhere you see more and more signs of religion.<br \/>\n14)  I abhor the fact that people who fast think they have a right to be assholes.<br \/>\n15)  I notice the fact that food becomes scarce in this supposed month of hunger and patience.<br \/>\n16)  I abhor the fact that I have to justify the fact that I\u2019m not fasting to every fucking religious person.<br \/>\n17)  Speaking of fuck, I curse.<br \/>\n18)  I lie. I lie about who I am, and sometimes the fact that I fast. That\u2019s a sin.<br \/>\n19)  I am a hypocrite.<br \/>\n20)  Blasphemy. Fuck loads of blasphemy.<br \/>\n21)  I don\u2019t pray for people when they ask me to.<br \/>\n22)  I think it\u2019s stupid that they call this month \u201cGod\u2019s feast\u201d.<br \/>\n23)  Every time that someone says \u201cWe\u2019re proud of our national team\u201d I\u2019m certain I\u2019m one step closer to becoming a serial killer.<br \/>\n24)  I listen to Satanic music.<br \/>\n25)  I use the opportunities provided by arguing over fasting to try and deconvert people.<br \/>\n26)  I try to convince Muslims not to fast.<br \/>\n27)  I don\u2019t feel nationalistic.<br \/>\n28)  I don\u2019t feel one with my people. Actually I feel more alienated.<br \/>\n29)  I feel angry at a god who isn\u2019t there.<br \/>\n30)  I feel angry at people who are there.<br \/>\n31)  I hate Islam more than usual.<br \/>\n32)  The spiritual speeches are revolting to me.<br \/>\n33)  I continue being an atheist.<br \/>\n34)  I drink alcohol.<br \/>\n35)  I touch dogs.<br \/>\n36)  I touch atheists. Myself included.<br \/>\n37)  I laugh at the hyperbolic awards Allah grants those who fast. You\u2019d get into heaven if you fast this month even if you\u2019ve committed genocide, apparently.<br \/>\n38)  I don\u2019t know what to say to Muslims who complain of stomach problems during this month.<br \/>\n39)  Muslims are especially sensitive about their religion this month, and I\u2019m especially insensitive.<br \/>\n40)  I look at the hairs of women.<br \/>\n41)  I look at their flesh too. Like, forearms.<br \/>\n42)  I would look at their naked bodies too, if they wanted to show.<br \/>\n43)  I think sinful thoughts.<br \/>\n44)  I watch porn.<br \/>\n45)  I write. My writings are 101 sins in themselves.<br \/>\n46)  I feel suffocated with every \u201chappy Ramadan\u201d I receive.<br \/>\n47)  I have no fucking idea why Muslims are so hostile and defensive this month. I wonder if they are aware of the stupidity of their display.<br \/>\n48)  I think \u201cFuck all the western media and their entertained exotic coverage of this absurd month\u201d.<br \/>\n49)  I think \u201cFuck my culture.\u201d<br \/>\n50)  I wish Allah had forbid shitting during day as well as eating and drinking and cumming and inhaling smoke.<br \/>\n51)  I enjoy the candies though. They\u2019re the good part.<br \/>\n52)  I don\u2019t like Star Wars. That\u2019s a nerd sin and not a Muslim sin, but a sin nevertheless.<br \/>\n53)  I read the Koran again. The only catharsis is mocking the book.<br \/>\n54)  I laugh aloud.<br \/>\n55)  Sometimes I cry.<br \/>\n56)  When the time for Iftar comes I feel sad and alone, excluded from all the happiness it brings along.<br \/>\n57)  I laugh at clergies who go to the rooftop to spot the moon. Use calendars, fuckers.<br \/>\n58)  Seriously, there\u2019s an official \u201cmoon spotting agency\u201d. I laugh at that.<br \/>\n59)  People help charity more during this months and I think that\u2019s not worth shit.<br \/>\n60)  A liberal sin: I somehow agree with Anne Coulter. I think our attitude towards football is a sign of our moral decay.<br \/>\n61)  People are so desperate for happiness; they use even our loss to Argentina as an opportunity to be happy. I don\u2019t feel happy.<br \/>\n62)  We are a sad nation pretending to laugh and smile. I don\u2019t pretend.<br \/>\n63)  I think of all the political prisoners. Are they fasting too?<br \/>\n64)  An atheist sin: When people pray for political prisoners and wish them a happy Ramadan, I wish I could join them, I really wish I could.<br \/>\n65)  The sound of Koran doesn\u2019t sooth me.<br \/>\n66)  During this month I\u2019m a bundle of contradictions and I don\u2019t give a fuck.<br \/>\n67)  I think One Direction is an underrated band.<br \/>\n68)  I\u2019m not proud to be Iranian.<br \/>\n69)  Work days are shortened, economy is further fucked, and I really think this fucking month is not worth it.<br \/>\n70)  I find the way journalists treat football pathetic. Fanboys and Fangirls.<br \/>\n71)  I think TV shows made for Ramadan are more horrible than syphilis.<br \/>\n72)  The chief entertainment of me and my atheist friends is mocking this month.<br \/>\n73)  Restaurants and coffee shops are forced to close. I think that\u2019s stupid.<br \/>\n74)  There was this clergy who was asked a question by a man. The man said I can\u2019t fast because it distracts me from studying for my exams. The clergy offered him to travel the whole months because those traveling do not have to fast. I sinned just by listening to this crap.<br \/>\n75)  It\u2019s true that celebrating Eid is as cultural as it is religious. It\u2019s also true that I equally hate the culture.<br \/>\n76)  I had this friend who fasted during Eid, the only day that Muslims are not allowed to fast. I admire him although what he did is basically silly.<br \/>\n77)  I can\u2019t think of one good thing about this month. (Except candies).<br \/>\n78)  Whenever I can I don\u2019t pretend I\u2019m fasting, and I enjoy it when this upsets Muslims.<br \/>\n79)  No other time I\u2019m so intimately aware that I don\u2019t belong. A Diaspora at home.<br \/>\n80)  I want to think of one thing I can hold to and I can think of none.<br \/>\n81)  Many Muslims don\u2019t fast. Even they assume I do, and I resent that.<br \/>\n82)  At Eid I can\u2019t think of something to celebrate.<br \/>\n83)  I want to say \u201cfuck you\u201d to Non-Muslims who show interest in knowing about Ramadan. That\u2019s seriously not nice. I shouldn\u2019t feel that way.<br \/>\n84)  I\u2019m not really a nice person this month. I don\u2019t like myself as an atheist even.<br \/>\n85)  I\u2019m happy that this month will pass soon.<br \/>\n86)  Did you know that the days are longer at this time of year so fasting is harder? I am amused by this fact.<br \/>\n87)  How would Muslim astronauts fast? I wonder about that.<br \/>\n88)  I don\u2019t respect their religion.<br \/>\n89)  There\u2019s no way I can find it in me to respect Ramadan as a custom of a proud people.<br \/>\n90)  I wish I could eat pork.<br \/>\n91)  I acknowledge the fact that our national team sucks.<br \/>\n92)  Like it sucks so hard it completely deserved the result it got.<br \/>\n93)  World Cup and Ramadan \u2013 a combo of alienation for me.<br \/>\n94)  But I wonder \u2013 is alienation really so bad?<br \/>\n95)  I actually feel proud \u2013 at least I thought for myself.<br \/>\n96)  The list form is an internet sin, right?<br \/>\n97)  This distorted digressive list is a good representation of my mind.<br \/>\n98)  At heart, I\u2019m much less charitable that I am in rational arguments.<br \/>\n99)  But oh \u2013 let the people mention the Green Movement, and I feel I\u2019m one of them again.<br \/>\n100)  Against all odds I still hope. Isn\u2019t hope a sin?<br \/>\n101)   I am sinner. A sinner is who I am. It is my identity.<\/p>\n<p>I will have sinned at least 3030 times by the time this month has ended.<br \/>\nSee you all in Hell, my human friends.<br \/>\n    haramadan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Wow. I think #47 is telling. People aren&#8217;t stupid and can see they have to live different than 90% of the rest of the world, especially nowadays with the Internet. They know deep down it&#8217;s insipid and draining and worthless, but cant get out of it.<br \/>\nEnd Religion Now! and free everyone who lives under its tyranny: gays, poor Catholic women having 6 kids, apostates in jail, women in veils (and psychological chains), kids living under fundamental Xiansanity, and a few hundred million (a few billion?) or so young people like this Iranian brother hiding out as non-believers who know better but are trapped in the cage of Islam&#8230;(or any other religion).<br \/>\nYup, end all religion now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bawpvc-ajax-counter\" data-id=\"2996\"> (1285)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to the utterly invasive, persistent nonsense this Iranian blogger has to deal with all day every day thanks to the smothering existence of Islam in Muslim countries.
