I was born to Islamic parents and Islam was all I knew growing up. I would pray to Allah multiple times a day, observe Ramadan etc. When I attended college I joined an agnostic student group that was open to debate from people of other faiths. Eventually I denounced Islam and My mother found my laptop which showed a group discussion pertaining to a theology question. She asked me if I was still muslim and I stupidly said no. So they gave me an hour to get all my things and leave the house so I'm currently camped out of a public library writing this post (although I can't stay past hours)

Ive been dumpster diving for food and either I'm incredibly unlucky or those youtube videos are fake because I've only been able to eat expired garbage. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining but it's getting awful to throw up the food you've just consumed so I'm looking for work.

I'm 19, able bodied and can work for any amount. Just want to eat fresh food at this point. Sorry if the formatting is sloppy let me know if you need any clarification am getting pretty desperate LOL

Go to the mosque where your parents pray regularly and tell the imam. That dude will not only help you out looking for a local job and a place to stay even though you aren't a Muslim, he will ban your parents if you ask him to, for violation of one of the foundational tenants of the Quran.

If the imam doesn't do that, then the teachings of Muhammad, where being kind to others who are in need, was never in their hearts and can go fuck themselves.

Please update this thread after you do this.
