Answer 2

This is a great question, and I'm really disappointed that you're not getting more answers. I must concur; I've also yet to meet a (former) Christian who converted to Islam. I have also, however, never met a (former) Muslim who converted to Christianity. Maybe my world is just a bit too small...

Sorry for not really answering your question; it's on my watch list, and I'm really hoping you get some good answers!

P.S. I just realized that, while I can't exactly answer your question, and certainly not along the lines you've requested, I do have a little something to say that might be of some interest to you. My little sister is agnostic/atheist, and very vehemently opposed to religion in general. However, I've coaxed her into a few chats over religion, and discovered that *if* she ever did choose to be religious, she'd choose Islam over Christianity. Her reasoning was that it was more sensible and practical. She took a Religions studies class and had to attend a mosque, a church, and other such religious gatherings, and ultimately decided that Islam was the most appealing (though she still hates religion). She thinks Christianity has too many "BS" aspects, such as the Trinity and the story of Creation in Genesis. I really can't remember some of her other protests; I'll have to ask her and get back to you on that...

Answer 3

Hinduism is the only mainstream faith that accepts that a detrimental tension exists in the universe. The Hindu universe is controlled by employing the Trimurti or the Hindu Trinity, comprising Brahma - the writer; Vishnu - the Preserver; and Shiva - the Destroyer. Its an countless cycle or beginning->dying->rebirth. This detrimental tension isn't seen as evil - its area of life. All living organisms might desire to perish finally in some way. The suffering led to by employing this prevalence is oftentimes what's referred by employing mankind as "evil" ingredient. even with the incontrovertible fact that a pragmatist will settle for this as being consequential area of life. even with the incontrovertible fact that its significant to understand that the physique loses its identity without the soul(Athman) however the soul does not lose its identity.

And quotes from the people, who chose Islam(I cut most parts, to keep my answer short and easy to read):

MUHAMMAD ALEXANDER RUSSEL WEBB (American) 1846-1916 - "I became a Muslim because the studies and observations I carried on indicated that men’s spiritual needs could be filled only with the sound principles established by Islam. Even as a child I had never had a disposition to completely dedicate myself to Christianity. By the time I reached the adult age of twenty, I was completely defiant towards the mystical and annoying church culture which interdicted everything in the name of sin."


Dr. ’UMAR ROLF FREIHERR VON EHRENFELS (Austrian) -
"You ask me why I became a Muslim. In the following lines I shall give an account of the factors that formed the cause of my becoming a Muslim and realizing that Islam is a true religion:
.....................
6) In no other religion has the concept of brotherhood among people been stated so expressly as it has been in Islam. All Muslims, regardless of their race, nation, colour and language, are brothers of one another. Whatever their political views are, they are brothers of one another. No other religion possesses this beauty.

..................."


THOMAS IRVING
(Canadian) -
"As I was a child, I held fast to my faith, Christianity, with both hands.
.......
However, as I grew older, I began to see a number of faults in Christianity.
..........
I saw that what the oriental people had been rejecting in our belief was the doctrine of ‘trinity’, and that they accepted the belief of ‘One God’, which was perfectly agreeable with common sense.
.................
As soon as I read the Qur’ân al-kerîm, I sensed that it was the Word of Allâhu ta’âlâ. The facts communicated by the Qur’ân al-kerîm and the hadîth-i-sherîfs [utterances] of Muhammad ‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa sallam’ satisfied me in every respect and infused a sense of peace into my soul. And this is the reason why I became a Muslim."


Dr. BENOIST [ALÎ SALMÂN]
(French) (Converted to Islam in 1953) -
" am a doctor and I come from a fanatically Catholic family.
.................
Because I held the belief in one God, I would never accept trinity, ..........

.......That means to say that, long before knowing of Islam, I had already accepted the initial half of the Kalima-i-Shahâdat, i.e. the part that says, “Lâ ilâha il’l’Allah... (There is no God but Allah...)”

Answer 5

I was a christian who converted to paganism. I chose paganism as my faith because if i have doubt, i can ask and discuss without being judged cause I don't know, without being called blasphemous. I don't know much about christianity and I'd rather not know, people preaching about "god" and he being our "savior".

Answer 6

A new (true)Christian might, but not likely someone who has known the Lord a long time.
