inconvenience
Feb. 25th, 2024 04:38 pmThis only just hit me a few minutes ago, but dad really can't be bothered.
My younger sister is a Muslim, so she doesn't eat certain foods. Halal meat is more expensive than haram meat, so he feeds her haram meat without her knowledge. He told me this a little after I told him I stopped following Islam. He told me then because he used to also feed me haram foods, so since I had become estranged to Islam, I wouldn't have been mad- which was correct, I wasn't.
Because I was so dejected from the rules of Islam I didn't care that he was feeding my sister haram food, I even thought it was funny. Now, I've only just realised how wrong this is. Because I didn't follow Islam I stopped caring about my sister beliefs and how she navigated the world within a religious context. I genuinely don't know why I didn't think twice about this.
Regardless, this has only made me even more upset about dad's unwillingness to do anything that is too inconvenient. We have money, the means to provide for both of our diets, but he won't. That's too much work for him.
He brings up the fact that if she doesn't know what she's eating is haram then she isn't penalised win sin for it. Which is true, but that doesn't make it right. It's gross, this is gross, this is all souring my perception of my dad. The halal butcher is not that expensive, just a further drive away, but he can't be fucked.
Surely if someone were to disrespect his religion like this, trick him into doing something deemed sinful, he would not be happy. This is all so hypocritical. I'm annoyed, I'm going to confront my dad. After him, I'll tell my sister and apologise for not telling her this sooner and not trying to stop it.
If it comes to it I'll get a job and buy our own food, I've. been meaning to find one anyways
