I am in a state of confusion. I have conflicting feelings right now.
I am a white Englishman of 18 years. I converted to Islam a few months ago, then returned to atheism.
I'm not going to lie, I did come here under another username a few weeks ago and said some bad things about Islam. Please forgive me, don't ban me.
I am starting to realise that there is a feeling within me which keeps drawing me back to Islam. I don't know what it is. I have no idea. But there are so many obstacles in my way, such as -
-the fact that I love my girlfriend and will never leave her, even if I became Muslim. This is something which will never change. She is the love of my life.
-evolution. I believe it is true, and it has much evidence in support of it. Is this compatible with Islam?
-what happens to animals after they die?
-if my family are good people, will Allah still punish them with eternal hellfire? They are not Muslim.
-would I have to limit myself to the Qu'ran as my only source of inspiration and learning?
-Is Islam compatible with science?
-What is the role of women in Islam?
If these questions can be answered, I thank you. I just have this undeniable feeling which keeps drawing me back...
