My religion has not taught me empathy, it has taught me fear.
It has taught me that killing something will lead to endless pain in hell.
It has taught me that be selfless. Help others at the cost of your well being.
It has taught me that it is not okay to be not okay.
It has taught me that women are strong and that is why they must sactifice themselves for others.
It has taught me that even though women are strong, they will never be the one who will be the first to be respected or the first ones to reach the goal line. They have to take a longer route.
It has taught me that we must be tolerant towards others at the cost of our own death.
It has taught me that I must save others or I will suffer in the depths of hell.
It has taught me to not love passionately or else I will be tortured for eons in the holy flames in hell.
It has taught me that my life and existence comes at the cost of the life of countless other small beings.
It has taught me to live in guilt.
My religion has taught me to be human to others while forgetting to be human to our own self.
