Thread by @Conaw

Two days ago I had the best spiritual and psychological conversation I have had in years with @haideralmosawi

Honestly felt life changing and deserves a thread of its own

Learned prayer is 27x more effective w others

Got me feeling need to get back into a live faith community

But then last night, prayed for UX inspiration - and was drawn to Library App from Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

And it provided... SO MANY ANSWERS

I’ve always been drawn to Islam.

Studied Arabic in my spare time in high school and college with help from Ahmed at the Citgo station (thanks Ahmed!), Rosetta Stone cds, and library book I never returned

House of Wisdom inspired Astrolabe as Roam Logo

But it was @cayblood and @transfigurism that first connected the dots between an existing theology and the Simulation Argument

And honestly - I find this idea extremely convincing... and also like the UX of the hypermedia structured argument

new-god-argument.com

But then... if I hadn’t read a biography of Mohammad and been deeply inspired—might not have thought to move into a van and cut my burn long enough to ship the Roam mvp and meet Josh

Intergalactic Islam and #LDSonLSD seem equally plausible visions of a flourishing future.

Word of Wisdom clearly not a statement against entheogens, and psychedelics absolutely not haram.

Both tweet above and this one had my DMs flooded with genuinely serious spiritual seekers, and soon after tweeting this one felt called to settle in Utah (only place I’ve been that was this beautiful was when I went camping with bedouins in Jordan)

I’ll be praying on it — but right now it’s close enough split to “ask the internet”

In your honest opinion, Should I be Mormon or Muslim?

@webdevMason says both prohibit my worst vices so it’s probably good out on regardless

I’m registered Mormon Transhumanist - and anointed secret Muslim by one of my oldest friends

This might settle it
